Grosgrain ribbon – ribbed, stable and matt
Grosgrain ribbon is recognisable by its crosswise ribs, which give it density, stability and a characteristic textured look. It does not slip like satin, holds its shape and is easy to sew, so it is preferred for trims on jackets and hats, inner waistband tapes, bag handles and straps, hanger loops, footwear and packaging. As a manufacturer, Polkom offers wholesale grosgrain ribbon in 100% polyester in three versions – heavy, light and matt – in standard widths from 3 to 70 mm and 270 colours.
Standard items are delivered from stock, while special colours, widths and logo grosgrain ribbon are made to order.

Colours and colourfastness
The grosgrain colour card includes 270 standard colours, and a shade outside the card is dyed to Pantone or to a sample. Grosgrain takes dye deeply and evenly, so it is a good choice when the ribbon has to match the fabric colour exactly.

| Standard colour card | 270 colours |
| Colour outside the card | to Pantone or sample, minimum 3,000 m per colour |
| Dyeing | the dye is fixed at 200 °C |
| Colourfastness | guaranteed when washed at up to 40 °C |

Grosgrain ribbon with logo
The dense ribbed surface takes printing well – we print a logo or text by screen printing, fine-detail printing or heat transfer. If the logo needs to be woven rather than printed, see our jacquard ribbons. For every printed order we prepare a sample before the run.
Grosgrain or satin ribbon?
Grosgrain is matt or slightly lustrous, more stable and textured – suitable for functional trims and details that are worn and washed often. Satin ribbon is smooth and glossy and is chosen when the focus is on sheen. For a strong cotton tape with a zigzag weave, see herringbone tape, and all types in the ribbons section.
