The Different Types of Ribbons Guide 2024
Ribbons are versatile and can be utilized in gift packaging, crafts, dressmaking, and numerous other creative applications. Given the wide array of ribbon types available, finding the perfect one can be challenging. As Australia’s largest ribbon supplier, Cherry Ribbon offers a comprehensive guide to help you navigate our extensive selection.
Our ribbon collections at Cherry Ribbon are categorized into Classic Ribbons, Custom Ribbons, Boutique Ribbons, Eco Ribbons, and Special Ribbons. This blog will focus on our Classic Ribbons, which are the most popular and widely used.
Satin Ribbon
When you think of ribbons, satin ribbon is likely the first to come to mind. With its shiny and smooth texture, satin ribbon adds a touch of classic elegance to any project, whether it’s packaging, decorating, crafting, or dressmaking. We offer an extensive range of double-faced satin ribbons, where both sides are equally silky and smooth. This ensures that your craft or packaging looks impeccable from every angle, with both sides displaying the same beautiful sheen and smoothness.
Grosgrain Ribbon
Grosgrain ribbons are distinguished by the ribs that traverse their width, offering a soft, ribbed texture that is ideal for gift wrapping and crafting accessories like hair bows. Our grosgrain ribbons boast a combination of sturdiness, thickness, and durability, while being fully washable, making them perfect for dressmaking and various other applications.
Velvet Ribbon
Velvet ribbons feature a distinctive soft texture, thanks to the evenly distributed dense pile of cut fibers across their surface. These luxurious ribbons can instantly elevate any craft or sewing project, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
Cord Ribbon
Cord ribbons are generally thinner than typical ribbons. We offer a variety of silky, matte, skinny, or chunky cord ribbons. Our French cord ribbons are available in widths of 1.5mm and 2.2mm. Recently, we have also added elastic cord ribbons to our collection, perfect for making face masks.
Organza Ribbon
Organza ribbons are thin and sheer, making them perfect for floral arrangements, gift packaging, decorating, and scrapbooking. These ribbons add a romantic and elegant touch to any craft project.
Recycled Ribbon
Recycled ribbons are crafted from existing recycled materials, such as PET bottles, old clothing, and other plastic waste. Collected materials are processed and transformed into textile fibers for ribbons. This sustainable option reuses existing plastic instead of creating new plastic. Our range includes New Life Recycle Ribbon, made from recycled PET bottles collected from European oceans, and Recycled Poly Satin, produced from various recycled plastics.
Biodegradable Ribbon
Biodegradable ribbons are crafted from natural, biodegradable, and compostable materials, offering an environmentally friendly alternative that naturally decomposes, minimizing pollution. At Cherry Ribbon, our Biodegradable Ribbon is made from 100% wood fiber (Tencel), ensuring strength and breathability while being gentle on the environment.
Cotton Herringbone
Cotton Herringbone ribbons feature a distinctive V-shaped weaving pattern, reminiscent of the bones of a fish. Crafted from 100% cotton, our cotton herringbone ribbons are available in two styles: Natural Single Cotton Herringbone, where a single strip of the herringbone pattern runs down the ribbon, and Natural Double Cotton Herringbone, featuring two strips of the herringbone pattern side by side.
Flat Cotton Ribbon
The Flat Cotton Ribbon, crafted from 100% cotton, offers an eco-friendly option for various uses. Unlike Cotton Herringbone ribbons, these ribbons feature a simple, natural flat weave without any distinctive pattern, making them versatile for a wide range of applications.
