Modern Marvels: Corn

What does Modern Marvels have to do with stickers you ask?

I was sitting at home yesterday watching the History Channel, and they were talking about corn and corn related products. Specifically they were talking about the renewable nature of this most important crop. Normally I would just gloss over and go about other business while watching this show, but something caught my attention. They started talking about a plastics company that uses corn for all their products. This company "NatureWorks" makes plastics that another company "EarthFirst" makes a printable plastic label material, and I said to myself...WAIT, We have that stuff! And then I thought...that's pretty cool, I think I'l blog about this...and so I find myself writing this post.

So it's true, we do offer this corn based material for use in our labels/sticker....The best part is you can even put their logos on your stickers to show that your sticker is made from a renewable resource.

I was pretty excited about this, so I thought I would share...Click here to see our lineup of NatureWorks/EarthFirst materials and design your very own today!

How To: Chrysanthemum Bow


I promise after this how-to you'll be able to make the perfect Chrysanthemum Bow...what I can't say is that you'll be able to spell it. Based on the ever popular flower, this ribbon bow will stand out in a pile of gifts. We used a Double Faced Satin ribbon for its silky/shiny nature, but don't be afraid to use any of our other types like Grosgrain or Twill. Click here for How-To

There's always something new with ribbon around our offices. We've just completed a bunch of updates, additions and changes to our PrintMyRibbon website, so it's time to show off a bit. The best way to see some of the newest, hottest stuff is to check out our "What's New" Page. We've put together a customer spotlight showcasing some of the more well-known people that have bought our ribbon. Also, there are some fun new ribbon types we're proud of, so check it out here.
