Where is your ribbon made?
We make our ribbon at our factory in Titusville, Pennsylvania.

Most grosgrain ribbon is 100% polyester; a few 100% nylon options are available in Closeouts. Our 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8" satin ribbons are 100% nylon, while wider satin ribbons are 100% polyester. Twill tapes are 100% cotton.
Can I order a sample?
Yes. Ribbon samples are $1 each, with no minimum, and are approximately 2" long. Choose your samples and tell us the style, width, and color you want. Sample shipping is free to all 50 states, Washington, DC, U.S. territories, and APO/FPO/DPO military addresses. International rates appear at checkout.
Can you help me match a color?
Yes. Mail us a small sample, and we’ll check it against our current inventory at no charge. You’ll find our mailing address on the Contact Us page.
Can I order custom ribbon?
We can weave custom striped grosgrain patterns with a 1,000-yard minimum. Custom-dyed satin has a 5,000-yard minimum. Custom printed ribbon is coming soon.
For industrial and wholesale customers, we also custom weave narrow ribbons and webbings to your specifications. If you have an existing product you would like us to match, contact us about sending a sample for review. We can discuss its construction, color, width, and volume requirements. We would love the opportunity to become your new manufacturer.
