What are Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons?

What makes Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons different from standard ribbon racks?

Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons are individual Army ribbons wrapped around slim magnet cores that lock onto a steel backer plate. Instead of a loose magnetic bar with slide-on ribbons, each ribbon is its own magnetic tile. This creates a thin, modern Army ribbon rack that stays tight and level on AGSU and ASU coats.

Because each magnetic ribbon is separate, you can update your Army magnetic ribbon rack when you earn a new award, change your precedence, or add devices – without ordering a completely new one-piece thin rack every time.

✔Built specifically as magnetic Army ribbons, not just a magnetic bar with slide-ons.
✔Low-profile, thin ribbon appearance with the flexibility of modular magnets.
✔Designed to follow official Army ribbon order and spacing when built correctly.
✔Perfect for AGSU, ASU, and Class A dress uniforms, promotion boards, and inspections.

Pin-iT also offers traditional thin ribbon racks and slide-on ribbon racks, so if you ever want a classic thin block or standard slide-ons, you can build those with the same online Ribbon Rack Builder.

How Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons work

How to build an Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon rack that matches regulations

The Pin-iT Ribbon Rack Builder uses the same logic explained in articles like “Magnetic Thin Ribbons – A Smarter Way to Display Your Service” and “The Advantages of Pin-iT’s Magnetic Thin Military Ribbons Over Competitors’ Non-Magnetic Options.” We simply tuned it for AGSU and Army ribbon precedence.

1

Choose “Magnetic Thin Ribbons” and Army as your branch

In the builder, select Magnetic Thin Ribbons as your rack type and choose Army. This loads the correct ribbon sets and prepares the layout for an Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon rack.
2

Set your rows and bar width (3-across vs 4-across)

Tell the builder how many ribbons you rate and whether you want 3-across or 4-across rows. The system arranges your Army magnetic ribbon rack into the correct number of rows so it sits properly on AGSU or ASU.
3

Pick pin-back or full magnetic backing

Choose a traditional pin-and-clutch backer or a magnetic backing plate. Both options use the same steel front plate for your Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons; you’re just deciding how the bar will attach to your uniform.
4

Add your Army ribbons and devices

Select every Army ribbon you rate, then add devices (stars, oak leaf clusters, numerals, “V” or “C” devices, etc.) where required. The builder keeps your Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon rack in the correct order of precedence.
5

Review your Army magnetic rack before checkout

Before you add to cart, verify total ribbons, rows, devices, and backing. Small details matter when you step in front of a board, so double-check now instead of reordering later.

Best way to update your Army thin ribbon rack with Magnetic Thin Ribbons

Articles like “Best Way to Update Your Thin Ribbon Rack – Magnetic vs Traditional” explain why modular Magnetic Thin Ribbons are ideal for Army service members who expect promotions, deployments, and new awards.

Army ribbon layout

Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon layouts for AGSU & dress uniforms

Magnetic Thin Ribbons do not change Army regulation. They simply make your uniform easier to keep in regulation. Your Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon rack should always follow the current Army ribbon chart and local unit guidance.

Order of precedence

Ribbons are displayed in official Army order of precedence from top to bottom, left to right. The builder helps you keep the highest precedence awards in the top row closest to the center of the chest.

3-across vs 4-across layouts

Most Army racks use 3-across, but you can build 4-across layouts when authorized. Because Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons are modular, switching between 3-wide and 4-wide layouts is much easier than with one-piece thin blocks.

AGSU & ASU placement

The steel backer for your Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons is positioned in the standard ribbon location on AGSU and ASU left chest. Pin backs or a magnet plate hold the rack securely against the coat to reduce sagging.

Always confirm exact placement and sequence with the latest Army uniform regulation and your chain of command before wearing any new rack to a board, formation, or inspection.

Compare Army rack systems

Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons vs magnetic bars and thin ribbon blocks

Soldiers often ask whether they should choose Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons, a magnetic bar with slide-ons, or one-piece thin ribbon blocks. Here’s how each system compares when you look at cost, updates, and daily wear on AGSU and ASU.

System type	Pin-iT Army Magnetic Thin Ribbons	Magnetic ribbon bar + slide-ons	One-piece thin ribbon blocks
How it works	Each Army ribbon is a thin magnetic module that snaps to a steel backer sized for Army racks. The entire front is made of magnetic Army ribbons, not loose slides.	Standard slide-on ribbons sit on a bar that has magnets on the back. The bar is magnetic, but the ribbons are still slide-ons.	The rack is cast or built as a single thin block. Ribbons and devices are fixed in place and cannot be separated or swapped individually.
Updating ribbons	Swap, add, or move individual magnetic ribbons when your awards change. Your Army Magnetic Thin Ribbon rack grows with your career.	Requires sliding ribbons off and on the bar. Over time, hardware can loosen and spacing can shift.	Often requires ordering a completely new thin rack every time your ribbon set changes or you add devices.
Alignment on AGSU/ASU	Magnetic modules lock into a flat backer, giving your Army ribbon rack crisp, level rows even on thicker AGSU fabrics.	Alignment depends on ribbon slides and bar quality. Ribbons can lean or gap if hardware loosens.	Very clean alignment when new, but any change means a new block; you can’t adjust individual ribbons.
Long-term cost	You only purchase new ribbons or a different backer when needed. Ideal for Soldiers who expect multiple promotions and awards.	Ongoing re-stacking and replacement of worn slide-on ribbons over time.	Higher replacement cost every time your rack is re-made to match your updated record.
