Custom Ribbons and What You Should Know

Your business can be more creative in using marketing tactics. For example, creating products with a wide color variety or upgrade product photography to be more suitable to your audience. Or develop creative marketing campaigns that make your business stand out against the competition. But, one of the best ways to be more creative is through custom ribbons.

Let’s start with the question, “What is a ribbon?”

A ribbon is a narrow, woven strip or band of fine material which is finished off on all edges. Different types of fabrics fashion each ribbon. The most common are organza, satin and polyester. These materials are frequently used for ornaments, decorations, bow tying and accessories.
