In House Printing Now On Recycled Ribbon!

Here at Simply Ribbons we have been printing ribbons in house for customers for a long time. 

We can print everything from large multi coloured print runs through to single colour custom designs of only a few metres. It's a service that we have

enjoyed being able to offer to our customers both large and small and try to offer an exciting design solution for them to promote or enhanse there business.


Until recently we have been restricted on the ribbon bases that we can use for the smaller print runs as these take the surface print in a different way to the

larger sublimation prints.


However after some development we are pleased to anounce that we can now print short print runs on a 100% recycled polyester ribbon base with some great results.

The ribbon as mentioned is made from 100% recycled polyester polymer which has then been woven in to ribbon. We then apply a custom print design to the surface of the ribbon

using a wax resien ink. 


In addition to the ribbon being recycled we are now reeling these printed ribbons on to plastic ribbon reels that we are giving a second life too as they have already been

used by our customers and are being reused for at least a second if not third time.


Where we can we are trying not to use labels on these reels in order to cut down on waste, however if we have to then we are sourcing labels made from recycled paper now, in order to try and maintain a much greener product then you would have seen from us a year ago.


This is one of the many changes that we have made both on the printed ribbon range but also on the enviromental front and one that we strive to continue to develop and impove on , we will bring you updates as to our progress as and when they happen.
