Recycled Double Faced Satin Ribbon – Made in Britain
Our Recycled Double Faced Satin Ribbon combines the smooth finish of luxury satin ribbon with yarn made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET – including recycled plastic bottles.
Woven in Britain, this high-quality double faced satin has a smooth satin finish on both sides of the ribbon, making it particularly useful for bows, gift wrapping and decorative applications where both sides remain visible.
Available in 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 15mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm widths, this recycled satin ribbon can be used for everything from small craft details and wedding favours to gift wrapping, packaging and larger decorative bows.
What Is Recycled Double Faced Satin Ribbon?
Double faced satin ribbon is woven to give a smooth satin finish on both sides. Unlike single faced satin, where one side has the principal satin finish, double faced ribbon can be twisted, folded and tied without exposing a contrasting matt reverse.
This makes it an excellent choice for bows and decorative tying, where both surfaces of the ribbon are likely to be visible.
This particular range is woven using yarn made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET, providing an alternative to satin ribbon manufactured using entirely virgin yarn.
Made From 100% Post-Consumer Recycled PET Yarn
The yarn used to weave this satin ribbon is produced from 100% post-consumer PET waste. PET – polyethylene terephthalate – is the material commonly used to manufacture plastic drinks bottles and other packaging.
Rather than using entirely new material to produce the yarn, post-consumer PET is recovered and recycled before being processed into yarn suitable for weaving into satin ribbon.
The result is a beautiful double faced satin ribbon with the smooth appearance and versatility expected from a high-quality satin ribbon, but made using recycled yarn.
British-Made Recycled Satin Ribbon
This ribbon is woven in Britain, making it an excellent choice for customers looking for British-made ribbon as well as recycled material options.
It is suitable for individual projects and professional use by retailers, gift companies, designers, wedding suppliers and other businesses requiring consistent, high-quality ribbon.

What Can Recycled Double Faced Satin Ribbon Be Used For?
The satin finish on both sides makes this ribbon particularly versatile. Popular uses include:
- Gift wrapping – create neat bows and decorative finishes around boxes and parcels
- Luxury packaging – ideal for presentation boxes, retail packaging and gift boxes
- Hampers – use for tying hamper boxes, baskets and presentation gifts
- Wedding favours – coordinate ribbon with wedding colours and decorations
- Bow making – the satin finish remains visible however the ribbon twists
- Dressmaking and textiles – suitable for a wide variety of textile and decorative applications
- Fashion accessories – useful for hair bows, accessories and decorative details
- Crafts and card making – particularly useful in the narrower widths
Double Faced Satin Ribbon for Bow Making
Double faced satin is particularly well suited to making bows. Because both sides have a satin finish, loops and tails can turn naturally without displaying a noticeably different reverse side.
This makes it useful for everything from small craft and wedding bows through to larger gift and presentation bows, depending on the ribbon width selected.
The wider 25mm, 35mm and 50mm widths are particularly well suited to gift boxes, hampers and larger decorative bows, while the narrower 5mm, 7mm and 10mm widths work beautifully for favours, crafts and finer decorative details.
80+ Colours
The range is available in 80+ standard colours, providing an extensive choice for packaging, weddings, events, fashion and craft projects.
This wide colour palette makes it easier to coordinate your ribbon with branding, gift packaging, wedding colour schemes and seasonal collections.
If you require a bespoke or Pantone-matched colour that isn’t available within the standard range, special production may also be possible with a minimum order of 5,000 metres. Please use our quote request form to discuss bespoke colour requirements.
Machine-Washable Satin Ribbon
This recycled double faced satin ribbon is machine washable, making it suitable for applications beyond gift wrapping and packaging, including clothing, textiles and accessories.
For textile applications, we recommend checking the care requirements for the complete finished item and testing the ribbon with other fabrics where necessary.
Recycled Double Faced Satin vs Single Faced Satin
The main difference is the finish on the two sides of the ribbon.
- Double faced satin ribbon has a smooth satin finish on both sides, making it especially useful for bows and decorative tying where both sides remain visible.
- Single faced satin ribbon has the principal satin finish on one side, with a different finish on the reverse.
If you are making bows, wrapping gifts or creating decorative packaging where the ribbon naturally twists and turns, double faced satin provides a particularly consistent finish.
Recycled Satin, Grosgrain, Acetate or Paper Ribbon?
Our sustainable ribbon collection includes several different materials, each with its own appearance and characteristics:
- Recycled double faced satin ribbon – woven using yarn made from 100% post-consumer PET, with a smooth satin finish on both sides
- Recycled grosgrain ribbon – woven using recycled yarns with a distinctive ribbed texture
- Acetate satin ribbon – made using cellulose derived from wood pulp, with a slightly firmer structure
- Paper ribbon and paper raffia – made from FSC-certified paper with a distinctive crushed texture
These different materials allow you to choose the ribbon best suited to the appearance, handling properties and material credentials required for your project.
