With our steady comeback from a national crisis we see Florida businesses and stores advertising their return to commerce as ceremonial ribbons decorate Florida reopening businesses in grand style! CeremonialSupplies.com, the best online store for grand opening ribbons, grand opening signs, grand opening banners, ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors, groundbreaking shovels, hard hats, shovel stands, stanchions, event carpets, and everything ceremonial, is busy assisting Florida businesses from Tallahassee to Jacksonville to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami to get off the ground again with style and safety. If your Florida business is letting the community know that it's reopening service, consider the attention-grabbing ceremonial ribbons and grand opening supplies made available through CeremonialSupplies.com!

The grand opening ceremonial ribbon and a giant pair of ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors are the celebrity stars of all grand openings but let's face it, if the grand opening sign doesn't shout out the big event to all passers-by, there won't be much of a crowd to manage. And whilst some may claim this is a good thing for health and safety, with well placed grand opening signs and crowd control tools like stanchions and rope, a Florida reopening celebration can be a vibrant crowd magnet and safe as well. Here's how to do it:

Go Big With Grand Opening Signs

This doesn't mean hundreds of signs and streamers in different colors and sizes that make your shop look like the intestines of a piñata - remember quality and elegance is achieved with uniform colors that create a pleasant surrounding. The objective is to get people to notice that your Florida store is reopening after the Covid-19 hiatus and it's doing so in an organized and safe way. Our selection of grand opening signs include customized event banners that feature your company or business logo with a grand opening message, date, or any other message you wish. The grand opening banner can be prominently placed over the main entrance of the store or business where it will command the most attention. Adding to the on-site decor, the custom ceremonial retractable roll-up banner is the perfect way to advertise the grand opening with a colorful image of your products, brand, or your business services. These effective roll up banners have a large imprint area of 80" Height x 36" Wide and each comes with its own travel bag and provide the flexible convenience that they can be used outside, near the main entrance, or framing the grand opening ceremonial ribbon and after the ceremony can be brought inside the store or shop.

Crowd Poles for Social Distancing With Class and Style

The best way to streamline the flow of people outside the entrance to your business or inside where people line up to the cash register is with the use of stanchions and rope, with the poles themselves marking the spot where guests should be standing at a safe 6' distance. CeremonialSupplies.com has a varied selection of stanchions styles ranging from the classic dome-top brass stanchion, the urn-top chrome stanchion, both of which can be purchased as a single product or as a pair, the latter which includes a 6' length velvet rope; the flat-top black matte stanchion that is sold as a single product. The classic stanchions have a 4-way disk at the top to enable any variety of line configuration needed. For a more economical crowd flow solution we offer the plastic weatherproof hitching-post style stanchions that are sold as a pair with their own link chain that attaches to the C-hooks on either side of each post. These plastic stanchions weigh 3 lbs each with a hollow base which makes them easily portable. The hollow base can be filled with sand or water to provide stability and strength when it's time to use them. For larger crowd movement CeremonialSupplies offers the retractable belt stanchions and information pole toppers. The objective of the toppers is to provide relevant information to the guests as they are lined up on the que. The warm Florida weather can be too much for a grand opening where people have to line up outside in the summer sun, so please keep in mind to set up your crowd control stanchions in the cool shade, or inside in the air conditioned environment.

Does Size Matter for the Ceremonial Grand Opening Ribbon?

When it comes to the ceremonial ribbon for a grand opening, the answer is yes. The idea behind a grand opening ribbon that will be traditionally "cut" is to photograph the event therefore the name of the business or shop should be large enough to be easily distinguished in the photos or videos - especially if the press will be involved. This serves as an added value advertisement when the photos appear in newspapers, magazines, or the 6 o'clock news! CeremonialSupplies.com selection of grand opening ribbons are available in extra-wide sizes of 6', 8', 10' or 12' and are available in all the basic colors. Personalized ribbons are our expertise, all you need to do is choose a color and send us your graphics, or choose from our pre-printed "Grand Opening" ribbons (pre-printed ribbons available only in 4' or 6' wide sizes). Remember that if decide on a big, boldly printed ceremonial ribbon, you should take the extra step and have it held up attached to decorated stanchions on both sides of the entrance to hold up the ribbon at a leveled height. To decorate the stanchions you can use bows and grand opening balloons. For a quick, ready-to-go grand opening ribbon set up, consider our grand opening kits that include stanchions, ribbons, and bows.

Displaying the Ribbon-Cutting Scissors

CeremonialSupplies.com has an amazing selection of giant ribbon-cutting scissors that come in 25" or 30" with a variety of color handles to match the ribbon. These ceremonial scissors can be ordered with silver or golden blades and the scissor blades can be customized with your company or brand name, or you can purchase the ceremonial scissors that have the pre-printed messages: "Grand Opening" or "Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" on them. Please note our giant ceremonial ribbon-cutting scissors do in fact cut, and are quite sharp! For a more traditional style, we have the golden handle scissors that are 10.5" long. A good way to stage the official photo area for the event is to set up the giant ribbon-cutting scissors on its own stand near the grand opening ribbon so guests and patrons can have their picture taken next to the stars of the show! You can find the ceremonial scissor stands in CeremonialSupplies.com assortment of grand opening products.

Less populated cities in Arizona, such as Tucson, Sierra Vista, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa and other smaller towns in the Grand Canyon State weren't hit as hard with Covid-19 cases as was Phoenix, and whilst activities in most of these towns are business as usual, it is nonetheless wise to adhere to the general guidelines recommended for Phoenix, and Arizona in general.

High-visibility construction apparel may seem relatively new in the building and construction industry but personal protective equipment (PPE) have been around since the 1930's when high-visibility vests started in Berkeley, California in 1930. We owe it all to Bob Switzer and his brother Joe. The brothers were raised in Berkeley, California and in 1932 Bob received a scholarship to attend the College of Chemistry at Berkeley to become a doctor. As fate would have it, Bob would never become a doctor but an inventor instead. In 1933 Bob was working at the Heinz company laboratory unloading tomatoes when he fell and suffered a skull fracture that severed the optic nerve and which forced him to stay in a dark room for several months until he recuperated his eyesight. While recovering, Bob and his brother Joe had the idea to search and experiment with fluorescent compounds, mixing them with shellac and eventually producing the first black light fluorescent paints. The brothers founded the Fluor-S-Art Company in 1934 and moved to Cleveland, Ohio to partner with Continental Lithograph, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers Pictures specializing in advertising displays. By 1938 Bob was working on a process that used fluorescent dyes to identify faults in machine parts as the dye penetrated the small cracks that became visible when seen under black light. This eventually led to the company developing a fluorescent pigment that was visible in daylight - which Bob tested by dyeing his wife's wedding gown! This fluorescent dye was useful during WWII to paint military aircrafts and providing troops with fluorescent fabrics to ensure safety and visibility. The high-visibility vests we use today are a result of the same Day-Glo pigment. CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to offer customized high-visibility safety vests that not only provide protection, but also a professional appearance and an easy way to identify workers.

High Visibility Safety Vest Styles

CeremonialSupplies.com is proud to offer quality high-visibility safety vests that include the dual-color safety vest made from 100% polyester oxford fabric and has contrast binding with wide reflective tape front and back. This safety vest is available in yellow with orange piping or in orange with yellow piping with ample room for customization on the back. This vest also includes 2 chest pockets with pencil stall, and 1 lower left pocket. Ensure your safety or the safety of your employees as well as the comfort of the dual color safety vest. These vests are of a high quality material and durable. If you are interested in a more lightweight safety vest then the super lightweight (6 oz.) breathable mesh high-visibility safety vest is for you! This lightweight safety vest is made from a 100% polyester breathable mesh fabric in neon yellow and comes with 2 vertical and 1 horizontal reflective silver tape across the waist, over the shoulders and on the sleeves. This yellow fluorescent safety vest will keep you or your employees safe by reducing the risks of accidents. You can customize the safety vests to differentiate workers on different projects or tasks.

CeremonialSupplies.com is the best one-stop shop on the net for grand opening and groundbreaking supplies. Are you having a grand opening ceremony in Denver? We've got your ribbon, your scissors, and all the items to make this landmark event a productive and unforgettable occasion in the Mile High City.

Denver's history is richly American and unique to the characteristics of the "gold rush" movement. Unlike mission towns and cities, Denver was founded with only one goal in mind: to make money. Led by William H. Larimer, a prospector from Pennsylvania, a disheveled group of gold seekers founded the Denver City Town Company on November 22, 1858. Larimer platted and named the streets after his fellow members of the Denver City Town Company but named the new town after James W. Denver, the governor of Kansas Territory, and although there wasn't much gold found in Denver, the mention of the shiny precious metal was enough to start a stampede into the new town. Today, from the Victorian houses of Five Points, to the hip nightclubs of historic LoDo, the stately mansions of Capitol Hill and the Golden Triangle Creative District, Denver is a booming center of art, culture and businesses. It is no wonder that major companies like Agilent Technologies, Boeing, Boston Market, Quiznos, JD Edwards, Western Union, and many others have expanded in Denver. As this trend continues, more businesses and companies will be holding grand opening events in Denver and CeremonialSupplies.com has the perfect grand opening ribbon, ceremonial scissors and other supplies for your premiere event in Denver.

Choosing the Ceremonial Ribbon and Beyond

Starting with the ceremonial ribbon, of which we've got every color in the spectrum, the next thing to consider for your grand opening ceremony is the width of the ribbon, and whether you want it customized or with the pre-printed message "Grand Opening?" You can also choose to have a blank ribbon - there's nothing inappropriate in that, but it does make a difference in photographs. Especially those tight close up shots where the name of the business is not in frame. In such cases, the ceremonial ribbon carries the name. The color of the ribbon is usually coordinated with the company or the business' logo or brand color. This doesn't mean you can't use a red ribbon. The red ceremonial ribbon for a grand opening is the traditional color for a grand opening ceremony so you can't go wrong, but the fact that you can have the color of your company's logo on the ribbon is a marketing booster!

After you have settled on the color ribbon for your grand opening event, the next thing to consider is the width of the ribbon. CeremonialSupplies.com offers a selection of ceremonial ribbons that are available in the standard 4" - 6" sizes, which work great for a grand opening ceremony of a small business where the side-to-side of the front entrance is no bigger than 15 feet. For a ribbon-cutting ceremony of a large office, a public building, or similarly wide doorway, wider ribbon is proportionately more aesthetically appealing, especially if there will be photographs and videos of the event. The ceremonial ribbons we carry at CeremonialSupplies.com are available in extra-wide sizes of 8", 10", and 12". The 12" ribbons, when printed vertically are used as banners to merchandise the inside of the business, shop, or company. Extra-wide ribbon makes the name of the business pop up in photographs and videos, earning your company additional marketing exposure. A nicely customized 8" or 10" ribbon is an attention grabber and our specialty!

Choosing the Ceremonial Scissors For Your Grand Opening Event

The ribbon-cutting scissors are the stars of any grand opening event. At CeremonialSupplies.com we have giant 25" or jumbo 30" ceremonial scissors with blades made from stainless steel that are either gold or silver brushed, and the handles, which are available in colors to match the ceremonial ribbon, are of high-density polyethylene. If a more traditional size is your style, CeremonialSupplies.com has the elegant golden handles ceremonial scissors in the regular 10.5" size. The ceremonial scissors can be customized on the blade with a name or logo, or they can be ordered pre-printed with "Grand Opening" or "Ribbon Cutting Ceremony," or with no customization at all. The choice is yours! The 25" and 30" scissors are big attention-grabbers and as such you should maximize their exposure. Before and after the ribbon-cutting ceremony these huge scissors should be on display as this will add to the overall decoration and provide a spot for the official photo or video of the event, and they'll be readily on hand when it's time to cut the ribbon! (which they do cut, and are actually quite sharp.) Choose from our deluxe or standard scissors display stand to show off these beauties!

Consider All The Details Of A Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony!

We have all seen the photos, or maybe even witnessed a ribbon-cutting ceremony where the ribbon is held at each end by two different people? The ribbon itself is uneven, and folds over on the center. This is lack of planning. It's important to consider all the details of a ribbon-cutting ceremony. We have seen gorgeously printed ceremonial ribbons being held by people but the name of the company can't be made out because of folds and lops. Avoid this by having stanchions at each end holding the ribbon. This way the ceremonial ribbon is in full display at all times! CeremonialSupplies.com has classic stanchions that are available in stainless steel polished chrome, brass with golden color, and black matte finish. These classic stanchions are perfect to hold the ceremonial ribbon, and when each is decorated with a giant bow of the same ribbon color and balloons, your grand opening entrance will be luxuriously decorated Denver-style! CeremonialSupplies.com also carries plastic, weatherproof hitching post style stanchions available in black, yellow, and white. One of the benefits of the plastic stanchions is they are much lighter to transport and to stabilize them all you need to do is fill the base with water or sand. We also carry regular size retractable belt stanchions and mini retractable belt stanchions but these are mostly used to streamline the movement of large crowds in one area.

Taking Your Denver Grand Opening Up A Notch

To make a big statement at your Denver grand opening, consider laying out a red carpet (or a blue, pink, green, purple or black carpet!) at the entrance where the ceremonial ribbon is displayed attached to the decorated stanchions. CeremonialSupplies.com event carpets are plush and luxurious and available in standard and customized sizes. Other items to embellish the grand opening decoration are things like a step and repeat banner than can be placed behind the ceremonial scissors while on display, creating another photo opportunity area for guests. Roll up banners can also be incorporated into the decor by placing one grand opening banner on each side of the entrance. "Grand Opening" signs in different styles should be visible. Shop CeremonialSupplies.com for grand opening supplies such as signs, ceremonial ribbon, grand opening scissors, stanchions, aisle runners, ceremonial scissors display stands and display cases (to preserve and display the ceremonial scissors) and many other supplies for an exquisitely golden grand opening worthy of Denver's ambiance.
