100mm Wide Ribbon – Uses, Printing & Grand Opening Ideas
At 100mm – approximately 4 inches – wide, this is ribbon designed to be noticed.
Our 100mm wide ribbon is used for everything from grand openings and ribbon-cutting ceremonies to large bows, events, gift presentation and branded displays.
We’ve been printing personalised ribbon since 2007, including specialist wide ribbon for businesses, venues, property developers, agencies and event organisers.
How Wide Is 100mm Ribbon?
100mm ribbon is approximately 10cm or 4 inches wide.
That makes it considerably wider than standard gift-wrapping ribbon and gives you much more visible space for logos, wording and larger-scale decoration.
It’s a useful width when 25mm, 38mm or 48mm ribbon simply wouldn’t have enough presence for the project.
What Is 100mm Wide Ribbon Used For?
Because of its size, 100mm ribbon tends to be used where the ribbon needs to become a visible part of the presentation rather than simply a finishing detail.
Popular uses include:
- Grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremonies
- Shop and business openings
- Property development launches and new-home events
- Corporate and branded events
- Large gift and presentation bows
- Showroom displays
- Large hampers and presentation packages
- Event decoration
- Branded promotional displays
100mm Ribbon for Grand Openings
Grand openings are one of the most popular uses for 100mm wide ribbon.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony needs ribbon that can be seen clearly in photographs, particularly when several people are standing behind it.
100mm provides enough width to create a substantial ceremonial ribbon without immediately moving into our much wider specialist ribbon sizes.
It can be used plain or personalised depending on the event.
Can 100mm Wide Ribbon Be Custom Printed?
Yes. We offer personalised options for 100mm wide ribbon, allowing businesses and event organisers to add logos, company names, messages or event wording.
The generous print area makes this width particularly useful for branding because artwork can be reproduced at a much larger size than it can on standard narrow ribbon.
Depending on the design and ribbon required, we offer different printing options and can advise which is most suitable for Your Ribbon.
Logo Printed Ribbon for Ribbon-Cutting Ceremonies
Adding a company logo or event wording turns the ribbon itself into part of the ceremony branding.
That’s particularly useful when photographs or video from an opening will be used afterwards for PR, social media, local press, company websites or marketing material.
Instead of the ribbon simply appearing as a coloured line across the photograph, the business or organisation can become part of the visual.
Which Colour Should I Choose?
Red is traditionally associated with ribbon-cutting ceremonies, but there’s no rule saying your opening ribbon has to be red.
Businesses increasingly choose colours that coordinate with their branding, venue or event.
For projects where an exact stock ribbon colour isn’t available, we also offer specialist full-colour options where colours can be produced to the closest achievable match from Pantone, CMYK, HEX or RGB references.
Is 100mm Wide Enough for My Grand Opening?
For many ceremonies, yes – but it depends on the scale of the event and how prominent you want the ribbon to appear.
100mm is substantial enough for a traditional ribbon-cutting ceremony while remaining easy to handle and position.
For very large venues, major launches, finish lines or installations where the ribbon needs to be visible from much further away, we also produce 200mm and 300mm extra-wide printed ribbon.
Explore our extra-wide printed ribbon options if you’re planning a larger-scale event.
100mm Ribbon for Large Bows
You don’t need to be opening a building to find a use for 100mm ribbon.
Its width also makes it suitable for creating large decorative bows where standard gift ribbon would look too narrow.
It’s particularly useful for large gifts, presentation boxes, displays and event decoration.
Planning a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony?
The ribbon is only one part of a grand opening.
Depending on the event, you may also need ceremonial scissors, bows, carpets, stanchions or other presentation products.
Our Grand Openings range brings these options together so you can choose individual items or put together a complete ceremony.
Free Artwork & Visual Proof
If you’re having 100mm ribbon personalised, we’ll prepare the artwork and send you a visual proof before printing.
This is particularly useful with wide ribbon because we can look at the proportions of your logo, the size of the repeat and how much space should sit between each printed design.
If we think something needs adjusting, your dedicated contact can discuss it with you before Your Order goes into production.
