Wholesale and Custom Ribbon Bows

Ready-made bows in satin, grosgrain, velvet and organza, made by Polkom – over 100 designs for lingerie, clothing, footwear, hair accessories and packaging.

Ribbon bows – a finished detail for the product and the packaging

Ready-made bows save time in production and packing: instead of cutting and tying every ribbon by hand, you receive identical, shaped bows ready to be sewn, glued or attached. As a manufacturer, Polkom offers bows made of satin, grosgrain, velvet and organza ribbon – in over 100 designs – for lingerie, childrenswear and formalwear, footwear, bags, hair accessories and gift packaging. Bows are also made to order – in the colour, size and shape you specify.

Attachment methods (on request)

  • sew-on – the standard solution for clothing and lingerie;
  • self-adhesive back – for boxes, envelopes and gift packaging;
  • on a clip or elastic – for hair accessories;
  • with a ring or hook – for bags and key rings.

When you enquire, tell us how the bow will be attached – the method determines its construction, packaging and feasibility, so we confirm it for each design individually.

Bows in lingerie and childrenswear

In lingerie, the small satin bow is an almost essential detail – it sits in the centre of the bra, on the elastic of the briefs or at the neckline of the nightdress. Here a soft touch, small size and a colour that matches the elastic and lace exactly are what matter. On childrenswear and babywear, bows must be firmly shaped and sewn on, without hard parts that could come off. That is why for these products we recommend bows made of ribbon only, without decorative appliqués.

Bows for packaging

For cosmetics, perfumes, jewellery and confectionery, a ready-made bow speeds up packing and guarantees the same look on every box. It can match the colour of the packaging or contrast with it, in satin, organza or grosgrain with a printed logo.

Colour and personalisation

Bows can be made in the colours of your collection – to Pantone or to a sample – and in a combination of several ribbons. For brands we offer bows from ribbon with a printed or woven logo, as well as a set with colour-matched ribbon for the packaging.
