16mm Satin Ribbons

16mm Satin Ribbons - Buy Online

16mm satin ribbon sits right between the narrower 9mm width and the bolder 25mm size, making it one of the most versatile widths in our range. This ribbon is made from 100% polyester and finished double-sided, so both sides show the same smooth sheen. You'll find it available by the metre or in a convenient 25-metre bundle, depending on how much you need for your project.

What this ribbon is used for

16mm satin ribbon works well for gift wrapping, bow-making and finishing touches on party decorations. It's wide enough to hold its shape in a bow but not so bulky that it overpowers smaller packages or craft items. Many customers use it for:

• Wrapping presents and adding a decorative bow
• Making rosettes, hair accessories and craft embellishments
• Trimming invitations, favour boxes and party bags
• Sewing details onto garments or home textiles

Widths and choosing the right size

If 16mm feels too narrow for a larger bow or a wide trim, take a look at our 25mm Satin Ribbons, which give a bolder, more prominent look on bigger gifts or decorations. For smaller, more delicate work, such as fine hair bows or narrow trims on cards, the 9mm Satin Ribbons are usually a better fit. Having all three widths side by side makes it easier to match the ribbon to the scale of your project.

Ordering by the metre or by the bundle

You can order exactly the length you need, cut to the metre, which suits smaller projects or one-off gifts. For anyone working on multiple items, such as a batch of party favours or a run of handmade cards, the 25-metre bundle offers better value and means you won't run short halfway through. Both options are packed and shipped from our warehouse in Tilburg.

Quality and finish

Because this ribbon is double-sided, you never have to worry about a matte back showing through in a bow or knot. The polyester construction keeps the ribbon smooth and consistent along its length, so it feeds evenly through a sewing machine or holds its fold nicely when tied by hand. It's a practical choice for anyone working regularly with satin trims, whether for personal projects or as part of a small business.

In short

16mm satin ribbon offers a workable middle ground for gift wrapping, bows and decorative finishing, with the flexibility of buying by the metre or stocking up with a 25-metre bundle. Combined with our 9mm and 25mm options, you'll have the right width on hand for almost any project. Have a browse through the collection and pick the length that suits what you're making.
