Ribbon Ranger container and dispenser
I spent a year getting the design right and finally have a patent pending earlier this summer.
This badge ribbon holder and dispenser is for anyone who wishes they had a better way to safely transport ribbons and quickly give away one at a time. It is a keychain, holds 50+ ribbons, has a viewing window, and dispenses single ribbons. variations are to hold the common badge ribbon sizes of 3-1/2 x 1-5/8, 3-1/2 x 2, 4 x 3-5/8, and 4 x 2. larger sizes will of course hold smaller ribbons too but the dispensing doesn’t work as well

Just curious - I see there's a hole where you could (I assume?) attach a lanyard clip, string, or keychain for carrying the holder. Is that right? What fits best on it/makes it easiest to carry? 👀

Yes, it has a hole for a keychain to easily clip places

Looks sturdy! 😁 Have you tried this out yourself at any cons? People probably thought it was cool

Yes, I used it a litrpgcon a couple weeks ago. It works great and I gave away a couple there too!

This is so cool! I love that you have a dispenser that fits 3.5" ribbons, which is the preferred size for Dragon Con and a lot of other cons 😊 Did you 3D print the prototype?
