Wholesale Satin Ribbon – 3 to 70 mm, 270 Colours

Double-face, single-face and matt satin ribbon in 100% polyester, direct from the manufacturer – in standard widths from 3 to 70 mm, 270 colours and with your logo to order.

Wholesale satin ribbon – a smooth sheen for clothing and packaging

Satin ribbon is the most recognisable decorative ribbon: its face is smooth and reflects light, and its handle is soft and slippery. The effect comes from the satin weave, in which the warp yarns float over the surface for long stretches. As a manufacturer, Polkom offers wholesale satin ribbon in 100% polyester – double-face, single-face and matt – in standard widths from 3 to 70 mm and in an extensive colour card. The ribbon is used for bows, trims and bindings on lingerie, garment hanger loops, childrenswear and formalwear, furniture and home textiles, and gift and luxury packaging.

We work with clothing manufacturers, ateliers, packaging companies and distributors across the EU. Standard items are delivered from stock, while special colours, widths and logo ribbons are made to order.

Pantone colours and colourfastness

The standard satin ribbon colour card contains 270 colours – from white, ecru and pastel tones to rich fashion colours and black. If the shade you need is not on the card, the ribbon is dyed to Pantone or to your sample.

Colourfastnessguaranteed when washed at up to 40 °C

The high fixing temperature ensures an even colour along the whole length of the reel and fastness to washing. When you enquire, tell us how the product will be cared for – washing and ironing temperature.

Winding and packaging

Narrow ribbons are wound on plastic spools, and wider ones on cardboard reels with flanges, which can be printed on request. The wound length depends on the width and the reel type:

Satin ribbon with logo

We print a logo, brand name or message on satin ribbon – by screen printing, fine-detail printing or heat transfer. These ribbons are used for branded packaging, hanger loops, gift sets and promotional materials. If you prefer the logo to be woven in rather than printed, see our jacquard ribbons. Before the run we prepare a sample for approval.

Satin or another ribbon?

For a more stable, ribbed and matt ribbon, choose grosgrain ribbon. For a light, sheer effect, organza ribbon is the right choice. You will find a comparison of all types in the ribbons section.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between double-face and single-face satin ribbon?
Double-face satin ribbon is glossy on both sides and is preferred for bows and ties that are seen from every angle. Single-face ribbon has a glossy face and a matt back – it is more economical and suits trims, hanger loops and ribbons sewn with one side against the product.
Can I order a colour that is not on the colour card?
Yes. Besides the 270 standard colours, we dye satin ribbon to Pantone or to your sample. For a colour outside the card, the minimum quantity is 3,000 metres per colour. Before the run we send a colour sample for approval.
Do you make non-standard widths?
Besides the standard widths from 3 to 70 mm, we also make special widths – 5, 8, 12, 16, 18, 32 and 38 mm. For a special width, the minimum quantity is 5,000 metres per width.
How many metres are on one reel?
It depends on the width and the reel. 3 mm ribbon is wound in 250 or 1,000 metres on a plastic spool, 10 mm in 200, 250 or 300 metres, and widths from 15 to 70 mm on cardboard reels of 50, 100 or 200–300 metres.
Does satin ribbon withstand washing?
Yes. The dye is fixed at 200 °C and colourfastness is guaranteed when washed at up to 40 °C. Polyester satin should be ironed on a low setting – at higher temperatures the sheen may change.
