DESCRIPTION

• Very versatile thanks to its wide range of sizes: to make lanyards or bracelets, bands for fallera or bachelor parties, decorate gifts...
• Strong and pleasant to the touch, satin-like fabric
• Any side can be sublimated over its entire surface. No front or back side
• Rolled on a plastic mandrel for ease of use in a roll holder. They also have plastic or cardboard on both ends to protect them.
• Can also be customised with other techniques such as embroidery, DTF, rhinestones, transfer, textile vinyl and screen printing

THINGS TO KEP IN MIND

• Before sublimating, pre-iron the piece of ribbon to be personalised because satin tends to shrink the first time heat is applied
• The ribbons of 23 and 92 metres are different from each other, you can see their comparison here

TIPS & TRICKS

• Use a cutter and heat sealant to prevent the ribbons from fraying
• Turn them into heat-sealable ribbons for use in craft projects, decorating or garment making
• Add tassels and make fallera bands. You can also add a brooch and make bands for beauty pageants
