Who Uses Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Products?

Grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremonies are used by organisations of every size to mark a new opening, launch or important milestone. We regularly supply products for new shops, car showrooms, offices, schools, universities, healthcare facilities, housing developments, leisure venues, charities and community projects.

For many events, the ceremony is also an important photography and publicity opportunity. Wide ceremonial ribbon, personalised printed ribbon, giant scissors, bows and coordinated decorations can help create a professional setting for guests, VIPs, press photographs and social media coverage.

Planning a Successful Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

A successful ribbon cutting ceremony doesn't need to be complicated. Start by deciding where the ribbon will be positioned, who will officially cut it and where guests and photographers will stand. This will help you choose the right ribbon width, length and accessories for your event.

For photographs, wide ceremonial ribbon creates a strong focal point and gives the person cutting the ribbon something substantial to hold and cut. Personalised ribbon can include your company logo, opening date, event message or branding, while giant ceremonial scissors and large bows help complete the traditional ribbon cutting moment.

Think about the photographs you want to capture before setting everything up. Allow enough ribbon for people to hold it comfortably on either side, make sure your branding faces the camera and consider coordinating the ribbon, bows, balloons and other decorations with your company or event colours.

If you're unsure which ribbon width, length or printing option will work best for your opening, ask us. We've been producing personalised ribbon and supplying grand opening events since 2007 and can help you choose the most suitable option for your ceremony, timescale and budget.
