Im going to otakon in about two ish weeks on a budget and i want to give out ribbons to people i say hi to BUT i dont have any access to transfer paper or a printer to put things on the ribbon itself,any ideas? should i just free hand it with fabric paint?

I know the classic is to pass out ribbons from a plastic bag.

Has anyone found a more substantial holder for badge ribbons so they do get squished in transit or during the con?

I am designing a ribbon on PCNameTag and it goes outside the white dash square. Does anyone have experience if this area will or will not print? The preview indicates it won't.

Yet I see ribbons at Con that seemingly take up the whole ribbon. I know many of these are custom and self-made, but some seem to be of PCnametag origin. I'm just trying to make use of space that I didn't on my ribbons last year if it's possible.

Thank y'all for any input.
