What Is Grosgrain Ribbon?
Double-Sided Grosgrain Ribbon
Smooth and lustrous on both sides with the characteristic ribbed texture. Ideal for applications where both sides of the ribbon will be visible — bows, loops, and decorative use.
Single-Sided Grosgrain Ribbon
Grosgrain texture on the face side, plain backing on the reverse. More economical for high-volume applications where only one side is visible — printed ribbons, tags, and industrial use.
Custom Printed Grosgrain Ribbon
Grosgrain is the number one material for printed brand ribbons — the ribbed texture holds ink exceptionally well, producing durable, wash-resistant prints. Screen printing is the most popular method. MOQ 1000m.
