Custom Cotton Ribbon
We make cotton ribbon and tape in plain, twill and herringbone weaves for garment bindings and branded wraps. Options include natural or dyed grounds, printing and embroidery.
Cotton Tape by Weave and Finish
- All-cotton ribbon can be woven plain or in twill, with a woven or cut edge.
- On woven-edge herringbone tape, alternating diagonals form a row of chevrons.
- Unbleached cotton leaves the raw yarn tone visible between printed or stitched marks.
- Plain and herringbone cotton allow screen or digital printing. Suitable tape can also carry raised embroidery.
- We supply sewing rolls, spools for packaging benches and cut ties for repeat box sizes.
Cotton in Seams, Closures and Printed Wraps
Garment tape and packaging ribbon can share a cotton base but differ in width and decoration. Binding needs a sewing margin. A flat wrap can carry print across almost its full face.
Seam binding
We can leave enough tape to fold around a garment edge and keep a visible strip of trim outside.
Herringbone tape
The chevrons are woven into the cotton. The tape can be natural, dyed or printed with a separate repeat.
Printed package bands
Screen and digital designs can repeat over a plain or herringbone ground in a branded wrap.
Natural cotton
An undyed ground brings the color of the yarn into the finished wrap.
Cotton grosgrain
A ribbed cotton band adds structure to loops while keeping a matte appearance.
Roll formats
Continuous tape feeds a sewing or cutting station. Individual lengths form packaging ties.
Cotton Ribbon and Tape Styles
Plain weave, diagonal twill and herringbone give cotton different surfaces. Suitable plain or herringbone tape can carry print.
Plain Cotton, Twill and Herringbone Tape
Plain cotton packaging ribbon can carry a logo. For garment trim, we also offer diagonal twill and woven-edge herringbone with visible chevrons.
-
100% Cotton Ribbon
Plain-weave cotton has an even, matte face. Cotton twill shows diagonal lines. Both can be used for ties or sewn trim. -
Herringbone Cotton Tape
Reversing the twill direction forms a chevron. Our woven-edge herringbone can be natural or dyed, with print or embroidery on suitable tape. -
Printed Cotton Ribbon
Screen or digital printing can repeat a name on plain cotton or lay a pattern over the woven chevrons of herringbone tape. -
Natural Cotton Twill Tape
Natural twill retains the diagonal lines and the shade of the unbleached yarn.
Binding Width and Exposed Trim
Binding width includes the fold inside the seam. A package band shows the full cotton face, with woven or cut edges on suitable styles.
-
Full tape width
For binding, allow width for the fold around the fabric edge and the part caught in the seam. The remaining strip is the trim you see. -
Narrow binding
A folded strip can form a narrow matte border along a fabric edge. -
Flat wrap
On a parcel the entire band can remain exposed, leaving more width for a printed repeat. -
Cut ends
Extra length can fold into a seam or tie at the end of a garment detail.
Natural Cotton, Dyed Cotton and Ink
Natural cotton leaves an unbleached ground around a print. A custom dye sets the base color of a binding or box tie before we add a contrasting mark.
-
Natural yarn
The original cotton tone remains visible in unprinted areas of a natural tape. -
Dyed color
A dyed tape carries a consistent base for a garment edge or wrap. -
Printed repeat
A name or motif can repeat on plain-weave or herringbone cotton. -
Two ways to pattern cotton
A chevron comes from the weave. Printing adds a separately colored motif over the cotton ground.
Woven Patterns, Screen Printing and Embroidery
Herringbone forms in the weave. Screen or digital printing can add a repeat to plain or herringbone cotton. Embroidery adds raised detail on suitable tape.
-
Printed plain weave
A screen-printed or digitally printed repeat can run across a flat cotton band. -
Twill
Diagonal lines add direction along a binding or wrap. -
Herringbone
The twill reverses periodically to form a chevron down the length. -
Stitched detail
Embroidery adds a raised motif to a suitable plain or herringbone cotton tape.
Sewing Rolls and Cut Packaging Ties
We supply rolls for continuous binding and spools for packaging. Cut ties can be grouped by the length each box needs.
-
Sewing rolls
Longer continuous lengths suit repeated binding and garment trim. -
Packaging ties
Cut pieces can be grouped by box size or wrapping use. -
Woven variants
Plain, twill and herringbone bands are identified separately within an order. -
Spool and core
The winding and core format can be specified for the cutting or sewing station.
Cotton Tape for Sewn and Printed Components
A binding and printed tie can share a cotton color while the weave, exposed width and lettering differ.
A binding that turns into the seam
Natural or dyed twill can have woven edges and enough width to fold around a garment edge. Short cuts can form tabs or loops.
Cotton Tape by Weave and Finish
A ribbed trim in the same range
Cotton grosgrain places ribs across the tape. A narrower grosgrain makes a textured center strip alongside a wider printed cotton band.

Printed or embroidered lettering
Screen printing adds flat letters to plain cotton or herringbone. Embroidery adds raised thread to suitable tape. The weave remains visible between letters.
Printed Ribbon
Plain weave, twill and the herringbone turn
Twill has diagonal lines. Reversing their direction creates herringbone. For branded packaging, we offer printed plain or herringbone cotton with the yarn texture visible between marks.
Cotton Ribbon and Tape Development
We can develop the weave, decoration and packing for woven-edge garment tape, printed packaging ribbon and cut loops in one project.
