Ribbon Types

Pheasant Ribbons Have Just landed

This week just gets better and better, first we had animal themed ribbons and now we have a new range of very attractive Pheasant print ribbons for UK Manufacturer Berisfords Ribbons

Neon has arrived with a bang ! 

Suddenly it seem's to be every where you look and ribbon seems to be no exception with a massive influx of product for 2017.

We are often asked by customers for help and assistance in explaining the different types of ribbon and what uses they are suitable for. Over the years we have seen a huge range of different uses and are never surprised by the application of our products.

This is a very distinctive style of ribbon and as a result can be very easily identified. The Grosgrain Ribbon to all intent and purpose looks like it has been ribbed. This effect runs along the whole length of the ribbon, this is made as a result of the weft being heavy then the warp when the ribbon is woven the net result is the formation of the cords along the ribbon. This style of ribbon is quite old, it use to be made from natural fibers and was only available in Black or White however today's Grosgrain Ribbon is manufactured using Polyester and comes in a rainbow of shades.

Another major ribbon group is Sheer ribbon, after Satin Ribbon and Grosgrain Ribbon this has to be the next most popular ribbon style. The ribbon appearance is that of a translucent fabric ( it is slightly see through rather then being completely solid) and is normally woven out of Nylon or Polyester which both give the ribbon a high luster look as the light catches it. There are a large number of different qualities of this product, some can be stopped just by sight others you will not notice until you touch them as there can be rough and stiff to the touch. However they all have there uses and place in the market.

Tartan ribbon has always been a popular choice among customer for a very wide range of uses including but not limited to Weddings, Christmas, Gift Ware, Funerals and Crafting to mention just a few.

Over recent months we have been asked more and more often by people for our view on which wide ribbon we would recommend for printing 100mm wide cerise coloured single satin ribbon on?

We have just taken delivery of these fun New Ribbons by Berisfords Ribbons Congleton. They form part of the popular Natural Charms Range which was launched just over a year ago.
