Christmas Gift Wrapping Ideas for Businesses Using Personalised Ribbon

Christmas packaging gives businesses an opportunity to do much more than simply wrap a gift. The ribbon, colours and finishing details can all help reinforce your branding and make customer gifts, hampers and seasonal packaging feel more considered.

Personalisation, more sustainable materials, metallic finishes and creative colour combinations have all become increasingly important in festive presentation. The good news is that you do not need completely bespoke packaging to create a distinctive result.

Adding personalised Christmas ribbon to a gift box, hamper or parcel can give standard packaging a completely different appearance.

1. Add Your Logo to Christmas Ribbon

One of the simplest ways to personalise festive packaging is to print your company logo directly onto the ribbon.

Your ribbon can repeat your logo along its length or combine branding with a Christmas message such as:

• Merry Christmas
• Season’s Greetings
• Thank You for Your Support
• Merry Christmas from [Company Name]
• Your logo + a short festive message

This works particularly well for corporate gifts, customer presents, PR packages and Christmas hampers because the packaging immediately becomes recognisable as your own.

2. Use Personalised Ribbon for Christmas Hampers

Christmas hampers are one of the most popular uses for branded ribbon.

A plain hamper box, basket or presentation box can be transformed simply by adding ribbon printed with your logo or festive wording.

For smaller gift boxes and hampers, 15mm and 25mm ribbon are popular choices. Larger hampers often suit 38mm or 48mm ribbon, where the wider ribbon creates more visual impact.

See our Christmas hamper ribbon ideas for colour combinations, print options and width guidance.

3. Try Metallic Gold or Silver Print

Metallic print is particularly effective for festive packaging because it adds detail without needing heavily patterned wrapping.

Metallic gold works beautifully with colours such as burgundy, forest green, navy, black and cream, while metallic silver can create a cleaner look on white, blue and cooler-toned packaging.

Your metallic print can include your logo, wording or a repeating Christmas design.

4. Keep Your Own Brand Colours at Christmas

Christmas packaging does not have to mean red and green.

Many businesses achieve a stronger result by keeping their normal brand colours and adding just one festive element, such as metallic gold print, a Christmas message or coordinating tissue paper.

Popular combinations include:

• Forest green ribbon with white print
• Burgundy ribbon with metallic gold
• Navy ribbon with metallic gold
• Red ribbon with white print
• White ribbon with dark green print
• Grey ribbon with metallic gold
• Brown ribbon with white print

If your business uses a distinctive colour palette, we can help you choose ribbon and print colours that complement your existing branding.

5. Use Full-Colour Ribbon for Detailed Branding

Some logos and festive designs need more than one print colour.

Full-colour printing is suitable for multicoloured logos, gradients, photographs, illustrations and more detailed seasonal artwork.

It is a particularly useful option when maintaining the appearance of your normal branding is more important than creating a traditional red-and-green Christmas design.

We can work from Pantone®, CMYK, HEX or RGB references and produce the closest achievable colour match.

6. Add Ribbon to Christmas Baubles & Decorations

Personalised ribbon can also become part of the Christmas decoration itself.

Narrow ribbon works well for hanging baubles, decorations, gift tags and keepsakes. A short business name, charity message, family name or festive greeting can all be printed onto narrow ribbon.

Our 7mm printed ribbon and 10mm options are particularly useful for Christmas baubles and smaller decorative projects.

7. Create Coordinated Christmas Table Settings

Printed ribbon is not limited to gift wrapping.

Use narrow personalised ribbon around:

• Napkins
• Christmas crackers
• Place settings
• Favours
• Small chocolate boxes
• Menus and stationery

Using the same ribbon throughout your table setting and gift presentation can create a consistent look for hospitality events, Christmas parties and corporate dinners.

8. Consider More Sustainable Ribbon Options

Material choice is becoming an increasingly important part of packaging decisions.

Our sustainable range includes recycled satin, recycled grosgrain, biodegradable acetate satin and paper raffia, giving businesses alternatives for projects where sustainability is an important consideration.

These materials work particularly well with kraft packaging, tissue paper, natural decorations and simpler Christmas presentation.

9. Use Bows to Add More Impact

Ribbon bows can add a stronger decorative finish to gifts, hampers, displays and Christmas trees.

For business use, personalised bows can also be printed with logos, company names or festive messages, allowing your branding to become part of the decoration itself.

See our personalised bows for more ideas.

10. Plan Christmas Packaging Early

Many businesses begin planning Christmas gifting months in advance, particularly when they need larger quantities of ribbon or bespoke colours and designs.

Ordering early gives you more time to decide on ribbon widths, colours, artwork and quantities before the busiest part of the festive season begins.

For selected personalised satin ribbons, we also offer a next-working-day service, subject to stock and artwork approval.
