There are two ways to attach your ribbon to the medal. With a clip or sewn them on to the medal. Each variety has it's own pro's and cons.
The Slot Loop is perfect for most applications. It allows the ribbon to sit flat on the recipient. Each ribbon is sewn first and attached second. This method is preferred in most cases but it depends on your ribbon choice.
The Jump Ring loop is another way to attach clip-on ribbons to medals. This is the method we use for 90% of our medals that require stock, clip on ribbons.
