Types of Ribbons
Ribbons may “just” be seen as thin strips of fabric, but to their enormous usage potential and diversity, you also must have into account the many types of ribbons at your disposal. They can be made of almost everything you can dream of, but they are mainly made of woven, grosgrain, satin, and more. And they’re always a fun way to add a creative touch to any project or gift – they simply have that little extra flair!
However, different types of ribbons may be more adequate for different types of projects and purposes.
Satin, for example, is a more glossy and smooth fabric, as opposed to grosgrain, which is sturdier. You should think of the former as an ideal choice for wedding decorations and other craft projects, while the latter may be more appropriate for bow ties or belts. But at Labels by You, we always apply the same rule: dare! Be creative, have fun, and if you want to you can always change things around: use satin ones on a belt – why not? With the wide range of colors, textures, and sizes available, there’s sure to be a ribbon that’s perfect for any occasion. Use our online customization tool and take your pick between our extremely versatile woven and printed ribbons. The difference between one and the other is in how they are made. Woven ribbons are created by weaving together thin strips of a particular fabric, such as silk. Printed ones, on the other hand, are made by – you guessed it! – printing all kinds of designs onto the material itself.
Woven Ribbons
Woven ribbons are your traditional type of ribbons, usually stronger and more durable than their printed counterparts. Woven ribbons can be made of different qualities and each one will provide the finished product with its own unique characteristics, such as smoother finishes or rougher appearances, allowing for a wide range of uses and endless design possibilities.
Printed Ribbons
Printed ribbons usually have a more modern look than woven ones since they’re made by printing your creative designs directly onto them. As such, they also offer more creative freedom which, in turn, means they can have a more vibrant flavor to them.
They’re also more uniform on both sides, which might make them easier to interlace with other objects and although the printing process may seem standardized, the fact is there are many ways to print them, including screen and digital.
While all types can be used for many different purposes, printed ribbons are also widely used for marketing and promotion. Just imagine you’re present at an event or trade show – wouldn’t it be awesome to share your custom ribbon with logo around?
