Custom Ribbon in Ring-Spun Cotton with Distressed Finish for Promotional Campaigns

Custom Ribbon — Ring-Spun Cotton with Distressed Finish

We build ribbon programmes from a tech pack or a physical reference sample. This Ring-Spun Cotton version is developed for brands that need a repeatable specification: the same cloth, the same hand feel and the same fit on every reorder. Fabric, trims, distressed finish and packaging are all specifiable, so the garment stays consistent across seasons and across production runs.

Most buyers come to us after one of these problems: packaging that arrives crushed and unsellable, or unclear responsibility when a defect shows up after washing. Our response is to fix the specification first — fabric weight, shrinkage allowance, stitch density and tolerance — before a single bulk metre is cut.

Quality control

Every bulk order is checked against the approved sample for shade, hand feel, measurements and workmanship. We record shrinkage, colour fastness and seam strength on the first bulk lot and hold the data as the reference for reorders, so ribbon batches stay comparable over time. Inspection photos and the measurement report are sent before the balance payment is due.

FAQ

What file formats do you need for artwork?

Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the best print and embroidery results. For raster artwork please supply at least 300 dpi at the final print size. We digitise embroidery files in-house and return a sew-out photo for approval.

Do you provide compliance documents?

We can arrange OEKO-TEX, GOTS, BSCI, WRAP and ISO documentation as well as third-party testing reports for GOTS, and we support REACH, CPSIA and Prop 65 declarations for the relevant markets.

Can you match a specific colour?

Yes. Send us a Pantone TCX reference or a physical swatch. We return lab dips for approval and hold bulk shade within the agreed tolerance band before cutting.

How long does sampling take?

A first prototype is typically ready in 12 working days after the tech pack is confirmed, including fabric sourcing if the base cloth is not in our stock library. Revisions add about 4 days each.
