How Is Acetate Satin Ribbon Made?
The acetate used to make this ribbon begins with wood pulp sourced from pine and eucalyptus trees. The wood is processed to extract cellulose, which is then reacted with acetic acid to produce acetate material.
This is formed into granules, dissolved in acetone and extruded to create a 59% biobased acetate yarn.
According to the manufacturer, the yarn is produced in the USA using an almost closed-loop production system, where waste generated during production is reused, recycled or made available for other uses. The finished acetate yarn is certified as biodegradable.
Why Choose 36mm Acetate Satin Ribbon?
At 36mm wide, this ribbon creates a more noticeable finish than narrower packaging ribbons without becoming overly large. It works especially well where the ribbon and bow form an important part of the overall presentation.
Its slightly firmer structure makes it particularly effective for hand-tied bows because the loops retain their shape well.
What Is 36mm Ribbon Best Used For?
- Gift boxes and luxury packaging
- Hampers and gift baskets
- Corporate gifts
- Retail product presentation
- Floristry and decorative displays
- Wedding and event decorations
- Large hand-tied bows
- Seasonal and Christmas gift wrapping

Acetate Satin or Polyester Satin?
Acetate satin is cellulose-based and has a slightly firmer feel, helping decorative bows retain their shape. This range is also manufactured using biodegradable acetate yarn.
Polyester satin generally has a softer handle and is better suited to applications requiring washing, greater flexibility or particular printing processes.
For decorative gift wrapping and packaging where a structured bow and biodegradable material are priorities, acetate satin is an excellent option.
Can 36mm Acetate Satin Ribbon Be Printed?
This particular acetate ribbon is supplied primarily as a plain decorative ribbon and is not our recommended option for custom printing.
