Everyone knows that for certain merits the state has the right to award any person with an order or medal. After receiving such awards, it is allowed to wear either the orders themselves or the ribbons that replace them.

The order bar is a rectangular-shaped substrate, which is intended for wearing various order ribbons on it. To date, there are only two varieties of this device. These two types are structurally different. The first category of plank comes with a flexible fabric backing and the second is a solid metal backing.
It is also worth noting that there are rules for wearing order bars. According to these rules, if a person has more than one of them, then they should all be worn together, but not separately. It can be added that all awards should be located on the same common basis. It is worth noting that the location of awards on the bar is also regulated by the rules. A series of awards should begin with the highest in status and, accordingly, end with the lowest.
Substrates
Speaking ofsash bar and block made of soft fabric, then it can be made of various colors. In such a situation, the choice of color depends on the color of the form on which the part will be attached.
If the device is made of metal, then very often to increase the service life and in order to keep the pleasant appearance of the bar for as long as possible, it is put on a plastic protective case. The fastening of substrates with a metal base is carried out using a pin, which is located on the reverse side. If the medal bar is made of soft fabric, then it is sewn to the uniform or shirt in which the person will go out.
Currently there are only two standard sizes for these slats. The first has dimensions of 24 x 8 mm and is intended for active military personnel. The second standard size is 24 x 12, which is designed for veterans of past wars.
Production
It is important to understand that the manufacture of sashes is a purely individual operation. The reason for this was that each person who has any awards has his own personal set of them, and therefore it is impossible to create a common bar that suits all awarded people.
Currently, fabric bases are becoming less and less practical and have already lost much of their popularity. Most often, people began to submit requests for the manufacture of strips on a pin. Attaching it is much easier, as is caring for it.
Quite often from the front to such slatsapply a transparent film to protect against unpleasant environmental influences. And the most powerful argument that makes people apply for the manufacture of this type of slats is their long service life.
Moire fabric
The most practical sashes are those made of moire fabric. This material is characterized by high strength and a high degree of wear resistance. A strap made of this fabric, together with a collet mount, will ensure a long service life. One of the nice things about this plank is that it doesn't ruin clothes. The magnetic attachment method, which is considered one of the best at present, will also serve to increase the service life.
It is important to add that the fabric from which the bar is made can be matched in color to the corresponding types of troops. However, this is not very convenient because in order to wash a thing, you will have to constantly tear them off, and then sew them on again. In addition, this type of substrate itself will become dirty rather quickly.
Deciphering the slats
In order to decipher the order bar, on which there are many ribbons, for example, you need to know for what merits certain awards are issued.
A red moire ribbon with a width of 20 mm indicates that a person was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Hammer and Sickle Medal, Hero of Socialist Labor. The Order of Suvorov, for example, has three degrees, and therefore the ribboncan be made in three styles. If the attribute is made of a moire ribbon with one longitudinal orange strip of 5 mm, then this is the 1st degree of the order. Accordingly, the second degree is distinguished by two orange stripes 3 mm wide, and the third degree is characterized by 3 stripes 2 mm thick each. The width of the tape itself is 24mm.
How to wear planks
The Charter of the Armed Forces provides for the wearing of order bars exclusively on the left side. They must be manufactured and completed strictly on an individual basis. In case of violation of these rules, pen alties are provided that will be applied to the owner of award attributes.
It is also important to note that the wearing of badges is a mandatory part of the uniform of any person who is an officer of the Russian army. It is best that the slats themselves be of high quality, as they will reflect the person's merits before the state.
