Wholesale Satin Ribbon – 3 to 100 mm

Smooth satin ribbon with an even sheen for clothing, lingerie, packaging and decoration – direct from the manufacturer, in widths from 3 to 100 mm and any Pantone colour.

Satin ribbon for clothing, packaging and decoration

Satin ribbon is recognisable by its smooth, glossy face and soft handle. It is made with a satin weave, in which the yarns float over the surface for long stretches and reflect light evenly. This gives it the elegant look that makes satin the preferred choice for bows, decorative trims, lingerie, babywear and formalwear, garment hanger loops, and gift and luxury packaging.

Polkom supplies wholesale satin ribbon to clothing manufacturers, ateliers, packaging companies and distributors across the EU – from stock in the most popular widths and colours, or made to order.

Single-face and double-face satin ribbon

  • single-face – glossy on one side and matt on the other; an economical choice when the ribbon is seen from one side only, for example as a trim or hanger loop;
  • double-face – glossy on both sides; suitable for bows, ties and products where both sides are visible.

Most satin ribbons are made of polyester – it is strong, colourfast and washable. The edges are woven, so the ribbon does not fray.

Widths from 3 to 100 mm

The width determines how satin ribbon is used:

  • 3–6 mm – fine bows for lingerie, gift wrapping, small accessories;
  • 10–25 mm – the most popular widths for clothing, hanger loops, bags and promotional materials;
  • 30–50 mm – decorative bows, trims, home textiles;
  • 70–100 mm – large bows, luxury packaging, event decoration.

Pantone colours and logo ribbon

Satin ribbon can be produced in virtually any colour – to Pantone, to the client's sample or to the brand's corporate standard. Besides classic white, black, red, gold and silver, pastel, rich and seasonal fashion shades are in demand. On request, we print a logo, brand name or message on satin ribbon – a popular solution for boutique packaging, hanger loops and gift sets.

Quality and care

Good satin ribbon has an even sheen along its whole length, a dense weave with no gaps and straight edges. We check these points in every batch, because on bows and trims even a small defect is immediately visible. Polyester satin withstands washing at a moderate temperature and ironing on a low setting; at higher temperatures the sheen may change, so when you enquire, tell us how the product will be cared for.

Why Polkom

  • Pantone colour matching and logo printing;

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between single-face and double-face satin ribbon?
Single-face satin ribbon is glossy on the face only and matt on the back – it suits trims, hanger loops and appliqués where only one side is visible. Double-face ribbon is glossy on both sides and is preferred for bows and ties, where the ribbon turns and is seen from every angle.
Does satin ribbon fray when cut?
The lengthwise edges are woven and do not fray. The cut ends of polyester satin can unravel, so in production they are usually sealed with a hot knife or turned under when sewn. This keeps the ribbon neat even after repeated use and washing.
Can you print a logo on satin ribbon?
Yes. We print a logo, brand name or text on satin ribbon in the colour of your choice. These ribbons are used for packaging, hanger loops, gift sets and decorative details. Before the run we send a sample for approval, and minimum quantities depend on the article – send an enquiry.
What width of satin ribbon should I choose for a bow?
For small bows on packaging and accessories, 6–15 mm is suitable; for standard gift bows, 20–40 mm; and for large decorative bows, 50 mm and more. For bows where both sides are visible, we recommend double-face satin ribbon.
