Cadmore 3 Rosette Award Ribbon, 6-1/2" Top, Classic Rosette Style with Built in Flair

Horse shows, dog shows, fairs, sports and recognition events have long relied on the rosette as the universal symbol of achievement, and the Cadmore 3 delivers that classic form with the construction quality and customization flexibility that award programs depend on. Its 6-1/2" top pairs three rows of tight pleated ruffles with a ring of eight crisp points, creating a silhouette that is immediately recognizable as a competition award, whether it is pinned to a halter at a hunter under saddle class, presented at a 4-H grand champion table, or handed to a first-place finisher on an athletic field or proudly displayed in an office space. Hodges Badge has been producing rosettes like this since 1920, and the Cadmore 3 rosette carries that same commitment to quality into every custom order.

The Point-and-Ruffle Silhouette That Defines Show Awards

What distinguishes the Cadmore 3 from rosettes built on ruffles alone is the outer ring of eight evenly spaced points that frame the pleated top. Those points create a starburst silhouette with defined edges that make the ribbon easy to read from a distance, an important quality in any show-ring or event setting where awards need to stand out visually from across the arena. Inside that point ring, two concentric rows of tightly pleated ruffles build toward the center medallion, adding texture and dimensionality that photographs well and holds its shape through repeated handling.

One center streamer (2½" wide) and two side streamers (2" wide each) drop below the top in the classic three-streamer configuration. Streamer length options of 18", 24", 30", or 36" let show managers calibrate the total ribbon height 22" to 40" to the size and importance of each award class. The standard hook back provides reliable display mounting, and the rim center offers a clean surface for event seals, breed logos, or club emblems. Everything needed for a complete professional award is included at the base price.

Color Combinations and Custom Printing for Every Division

Building a cohesive award ribbon program means matching ribbons to your event's identity, and the Cadmore 3 makes that straightforward. Mixed solid color combinations carry no additional charge, you can run separate palettes for different divisions, placing levels, or award categories without any premium over the standard solid-color price. For events that need materials beyond standard satin, specialty streamer options are available for a small additional charge.

Custom text printing on the center streamer accommodates up to 10 lines at 14 characters per line in standard gold foil, room enough for your event name, class or division, placing, date, and organizing body. This is the same print setup Hodges Badge has refined across more than a 100-year tradition of custom ribbon production, and the results are clean, legible, and durable. Orders under 25 ribbons carry a print setup charge; at 25 and above, that charge is waived entirely.

FAQs

How does the Cadmore 3 differ from the Marlow 3, which also has a 6-1/2" top? The Cadmore 3 uses a ruffle-and-point construction, three rows of pleated ruffles surrounded by an outer ring of eight points, while the Marlow 3 is built on an eight-petal design with inner and outer ruffles; both are 6-1/2" tops, so the difference is entirely in silhouette and aesthetic style.

Can I order different color combinations for different placing levels without extra cost? Yes. Mixed solid color combinations are available at no additional charge, making it easy to assign distinct color schemes to first through sixth place or to different divisions within the same show.

What text can I fit on the center streamer? The center streamer accepts up to 10 lines of custom text at a maximum of 14 characters per line, printed in gold foil, which provides space for the event name, division or class, placing, date, and sponsoring organization.
