These rings are made of steel wire, butt-welded for strength, and crimped to ensure a firm grip for the greens. The low cost of the crimped ring makes it a favorite of many large producers. Greens are applied by wrapping spool wire around the ring and greens simultaneously. This may be done by hand or by using a machine like the Kelco 102 wreath machine.

Crimped rings are ideal for making single-faced or double-faced wreaths. The outside diameter of a finished wreath on this ring will be approximately 14" to 16".
