- What does single face mean?
- The satin sheen is on one side only; the reverse is flat and matte. That makes it good for flat wrapping and simple bows, but a twisted loop will show the dull side.
- Is polyester satin ribbon good for bows?
- Yes. Polyester holds a crease and a knot well and resists wrinkling. It is stiffer than silk, so bows look crisp rather than soft and flowing.
- How do I stop the ends from fraying?
- Cut the ribbon with sharp scissors and pass the cut end briefly over a flame or a hot trimmer to seal the polyester. Do not hold it in the flame long, or it will melt and darken.
- Can I dye or print on it?
- Polyester takes dye poorly with ordinary fabric dyes and needs high heat, which can damage the satin finish. It is not a good choice for home dyeing or inkjet printing.
- What is it best used for?
- Gift wrapping, wedding and event decor, hair bows, bouquet ties and craft projects. The white suits formal and neutral themes.
- How many yards do I get in total?
- Five rolls of 25 yards each, 125 yards in total, all 1 inch wide.
