What types of ribbon does Tiny Box Company sell?
This category includes double faced satin ribbon, grosgrain ribbon (including stitched-edge options), wood pulp ribbon, cotton ribbon, twine, ethically recycled ribbon, and Tencel ribbon. Colours and widths vary by product, and you can filter by availability and whether branding is available.
Satin vs grosgrain: which ribbon is better for packaging?
If you want a classic, glossy finish that ties into clean, even bows, satin is the go-to. If you want something more structured (great for crisp wraps, sturdier bows, and wrapping around boxes without slipping), grosgrain’s ribbed texture tends to hold its shape better.
What widths and reel lengths are available?
Widths and reel lengths vary across the range. Some examples include 15mm ribbon on 20m and 50m reels, with other sizes shown across products. The simplest approach is to pick your material first (satin, grosgrain, wood pulp, etc.), then filter by colour and check the product title/spec on the item you choose.
Do you offer branded or printed ribbon?
Yes, branding is shown as available on a portion of the range (the filter shows “Branding Available: Yes”). If you’re ordering branded ribbon, you’ll usually want to have your logo/artwork ready (vector files are ideal), decide whether you need a one-colour mark or multi-colour, and confirm how tight you need colour matching to be before you approve a proof.
Is there a minimum order quantity for ribbon?
For standard stock ribbon, you can typically order by the reel/spool (no bulk case commitment). For branded ribbon, minimums are usually different because it’s produced to order, so treat printed ribbon as its own project with setup and approvals. If you’re unsure, start with the stock ribbon to test colour and feel, then move to branded once you’re confident.
Which ribbon works best for bows that look professional?
Double faced satin is designed for bows where both sides show, so it’s a safe choice for clean, symmetrical loops. Grosgrain gives a more structured bow and can be easier to “train” into shape for a crisp look. If you’re packing at speed, choose a ribbon that behaves consistently, and stick to one tying method your whole team uses.
What’s the most sustainable ribbon option?
It depends on what “sustainable” means for your brand and your customer. We offer some sustainable options described as recycled PET (made from post-consumer bottles), plus plant-based style options like wood pulp/acetate and Tencel. The right pick comes down to your priorities (recycled content, fibre source, look/feel, and end-of-life).
Can I colour-match ribbon to my boxes, bags, or tissue?
You can get very close, but exact matching can be affected by material (satin sheen vs grosgrain texture), dye lots, and lighting. For best results, choose your packaging first, then select ribbon from the same colour family, and order a small quantity to check it in the same lighting you pack in (warehouse light and daylight can look different).
How quickly can I get ribbon delivered?
Filter by In Stock vs Out of Stock, which is the fastest way to find ready-to-dispatch options. Delivery speed depends on the other items in your basket, your delivery address, and delivery preference (such as Next Working Day or Standard Delivery). Branded ribbon is also typically a longer process because it involves approval and production steps. Always check the delivery options shown at checkout for the most accurate timing.
How should I store ribbon so it stays neat and easy to use?
Keep ribbon reels in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight (UV can shift colours over time). Store reels upright to avoid edge dents, and use a simple dispenser or dowel so your team can pull consistent lengths without tangling. If you’re running a gift-wrap add-on, label reels by width and colour so pick-and-pack stays fast and error-free.
