Knowledge on Ribbon Materials and Types

Choosing the correct type of materials and types of ribbons is essential to meet your intended visual effects and functionality of your custom ribbons. Our fabric ribbons are of good quality and ensure durability and beauty.

Satin vs. Velvet Ribbons

Satin ribbons are smooth with an opulent sheen ideal to display printed logos with finesse. Velvet ribbons, on the other hand, are made of a soft, plush material and are slightly denser. Our satin and velvet ribbons are offered to suit various needs and preferences.

Ribbon Widths and Uses

The thickness of your ribbon can greatly influence the look of your logo. Simple logos or letters will be printed on narrower ribbons (0.6"-1.4"), whereas more elaborate designs or photographs will be better suited to wider ribbons (1.96"-2.75"). Our ribbons come in several widths to fit a wide range of uses, such as fine packaging or major promotional exhibits.

Selecting the Right Length for Your Application

When it comes to ribbon length, think about your particular application requirements. The typical sizes are 10-yard, 16-foot, or 25-yard, although custom sizes can be ordered in quantities larger than a single production run. The correct length means you do not waste too much quality ribbon on a project that you do not require and you budget appropriately.

How to Design Your Logo for Ribbon Printing

When designing your logo to be printed on a ribbon, it is important to focus on a few main aspects. Our method fastens the inks firmly into the fabric resulting in a durable print and uses a newer technology that fuses the inks into the satin. By creating your own ribbon, you can either do 9.7" or 19.7", and we will then repeat on 5.5 yard strips.

Logo Size and Placement

Once you create your logo, think about how big or small to make your picture and where to place it so that it appears excellent when printed onto your ribbon. Scale the size to print as much as 1.96" or 2.75"+ to retain optimal quality. The pictures can be small, but we would like your beautiful pictures to appear: obviously distinguishable. We print at 200dpi, which strikes a nice balance between quality and file size.

Selecting Colour to Maximise Effect

Choosing the right colour is also important when printing ribbons. Choose colors that will contrast well with the ribbon base (usually white) and match your brand palette. Make the content readable even at smaller sizes by selecting contrasting colors. To achieve the best effects, you may want to think about what your logo will look like when you tie the ribbon into bows or what it will look like when you wrap items in the ribbon.

Text Integration that Includes Your Logo

If you include text within your logo, make it the right size to fit along the width of the ribbon. Text at least 1012pt fairly narrow ribbons, possibly larger on wider ribbons. To achieve optimal outcomes, maintain designs fairly basic and ensure that they have clean lines and enough spacing between each element to avoid blending or becoming blurry when printed on cloth.
