What Is Acetate Satin Ribbon?

Unlike conventional polyester satin ribbon, acetate satin is cellulose-based. The cellulose used to manufacture the ribbon is derived from wood pulp, giving customers another material choice when looking for alternatives to traditional synthetic satin ribbon.

Acetate has a slightly stiffer handle than polyester satin. This makes it particularly good for gift wrapping and bow making, where its structure helps bows retain their shape and creates a crisp, attractive finish.

Is Acetate Satin Ribbon Biodegradable?

Acetate satin is made from cellulose derived from wood pulp and selected acetate ribbons are described as biodegradable. The environmental properties and disposal requirements can depend on the precise material and conditions, so please refer to the individual product information when these characteristics are important to your project.
