Some are functional – they reinforce seams, finish edges and serve as handles, straps and hanger loops. Others are decorative – bows, trims and accents on clothing and packaging. Often the same ribbon does both. This page is an overview of the main types of ribbon and tape that Polkom supplies wholesale and shows which type suits which use. For details on each type, go to the relevant category.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMain types of ribbon and tape\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSatin ribbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth, soft, with an even sheen.
