Custom Grosgrain Ribbon
We make custom-width, woven-edge grosgrain in polyester, nylon and cotton. Plain lengths suit binding and bow centers. On printed bands, artwork repeats along the ribbon over its crosswise ribs.
Fibers and Finishes for Woven-Edge Grosgrain
- Polyester grosgrain comes in matte and semi-gloss finishes. Cotton is naturally matte.
- The nylon version pairs a fine crosswise rib with woven sides for narrow accessory bands.
- The bow center can be narrower than the two ribbed loops.
- Screen and digital printing are available on appropriate bases. Heat transfer is another option for polyester grosgrain.
- Plain and printed styles come on rolls or spools for sewing, cutting and accessory assembly.
Ribbed Bows, Bindings and Printed Tape
A bow can use printed polyester loops and a narrower cotton center. Nylon binding can run from a roll. We adapt the width and finish to each part.
Polyester bow loops
A matte or semi-gloss polyester ground can carry the same rib and print along each cut loop.
Binding tape
A narrow woven-edge grosgrain can run continuously around a garment opening or accessory edge.
Cotton accents
Natural cotton grosgrain can carry screen printing or embroidery with the ribs still visible.
Printed grosgrain
Artwork repeats sit across a woven texture instead of a perfectly smooth ground.
Contrasting centers
A narrow center wrap changes the proportions of an accessory bow without changing its overall span.
Assembly rolls
Finished tape can be wound by width and color for sewing, cutting or bow assembly.
Grosgrain by Fiber and Finish
Three styles show the yarn options. Printed grosgrain adds artwork over the ribs.
Grosgrain by Yarn and Surface
Cotton grosgrain is matte. Polyester can be matte or semi-gloss. On a suitable base, printing adds artwork over the ribs.
-
Polyester Grosgrain Ribbon
Polyester grosgrain brings a defined rib to a clip bow or garment trim. -
Nylon Grosgrain Ribbon
This narrow accessory tape combines matte nylon with woven sides. A screen-printed or heat-transfer mark can run along it. -
Cotton Grosgrain Ribbon
Cotton gives the ribbed face a more matte finish beside garment fabric. -
Printed Grosgrain Ribbon
Print forms a separate colored motif over the woven ridges.
Loop Ribbon, Center Wraps and Binding
Broad grosgrain forms the loops. We can supply a narrower woven-edge strip for the center wrap or on its own as garment binding.
-
Small loops
A narrow ribbed tape forms compact loops around the center of a clip bow. -
Wider loops
A broader ribbon shows more of the ribs across a structured accessory. -
Sewn trim
Part of the width can sit inside the seam, leaving a narrower textured edge on view. -
Center wrap
A separate narrow strip can cover the join between two bow loops.
Dyed Grounds and Contrasting Centers
Cotton can be natural or dyed. A dyed center wrap can match a logo color on the wider loops.
-
Solid ground
Crosswise ribs introduce small areas of light and shade within a solid color. -
Natural cotton
A cotton ground offers a more matte alternative to a brighter synthetic band. -
Printed contrast
A repeated mark can stand out against the dyed ground across a line of ribs. -
Bow center
A contrasting narrow wrap can pick up an accent color within an accessory.
Printing Over Crosswise Ribs
Suitable grosgrain bases allow screen or digital printing. Polyester can carry heat-transfer designs, and cotton can carry stitched details.
-
Woven texture
The rib pattern remains visible in unprinted areas and under the printed repeat. -
Printed repeats
Depending on the base, grosgrain can carry a screen-printed mark, digital pattern or heat-transfer design. -
Fine strokes
A motif crosses raised ribs and recesses, which affects how cleanly fine details read. -
Stitched cotton detail
Suitable cotton grosgrain takes embroidery, giving a raised mark distinct from a printed repeat.
Rolls for Garments and Bow Assembly
Continuous woven-edge tape feeds a sewing line. For bow assembly, we can cut and group loops and shorter center wraps by width.
-
Hair-bow runs
Multiple bow pieces can be cut from the same width and shade. -
Garment tape
A continuous reel supplies trim along seams and edges. -
Pattern feed
A printed roll can be wound to keep the lettering facing the intended way on each cut. -
Reel format
A spool holds the edges of a narrow roll in place as the tape feeds to a cutting or sewing station.
Coordinated Ribbed Trims
Ribbed loops, a center wrap and an attachment band can each have their own specifications.
A cotton center strip
Narrow, woven-edge natural cotton grosgrain can add a matte center to a dyed bow, with a simple screen-printed or embroidered detail.
Fibers and Finishes for Woven-Edge Grosgrain
A satin accent
Within an accessory set, smooth satin can provide the contrasting wrap around ribbed grosgrain loops.

How the ribs form across grosgrain
Grosgrain ribs run from edge to edge. We offer woven-edge polyester, nylon and cotton. On printed grosgrain, bold strokes read more clearly across the ribs.
