A ribbon is a thin band of material, usually cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily as a binder and a decorative bond. The cloth ribbon is made of natural materials such as silk, velvet, cotton, and hemp as well as synthetic materials, such as polyester, nylon, and polypropylene. Ribbons are used for innumerable useful, ornamental, and symbolic purposes. Cultures around the world use ribbons in their hair, around the body, and as ornaments on non-human animals, buildings, and packaging. Some popular fabrics used for making ribbons are satin, organza, sheer, silk, velvet, and grosgrain.

Fabrics

Along with cassettes, fringes, and other small items, the manufacture of cloth ribbons forms a special department of the textile industry. An important feature of the ribbon loom is the simultaneous weaving in one weaving frame of two or more nets, rising to as many as forty narrow fabrics in modern looms. To influence the joint throwing of all the freight and various other movements of the loom, automatic action of the loom is necessary, and it is a remarkable fact that the self-acting tape looms were known and used extensively over a century before the famous inventions of Cartwright. Looms where several narrow nets can be woven at a time are referred to as having worked in Dantzig towards the end of the 16th century. A similar loom was working in Leiden in 1620, where its use led to so much discontent and unrest on the part of the weavers that the generals must ban its use. The ban was renewed at intervals throughout the century, and within the same interval the use of ribbon looms was banned in most of Europe's major industrial centers. In 1676, under the name of a Dutch weaving machine or weaving machine, it was brought to London, and although its introduction there caused some disturbance, it did not seem to be banned. In 1745, John Kay, the founder of the space shuttle, was acquired, along with Joseph Stell, a patent for improvement in the ribbon loom. Since that period, it has benefited from the invention applied to the general weaving machine.

The ribbon weave is known to have been established near St. Etienne (dep. Loire) as early as the 11th century, and the city remained an industrial headquarters. During the Huguenot problem, weavers ribbon from St. Etienne settled in Basel, and there, established an industry that in modern times has rivaled the original place of trade. Krefeld is the center of the German ribbon industry; making special existing black velvet ribbons. In England Coventry is the most important ribbon making place, which is also being sued in Norwich and Leicester.

While satin and other types of ribbons are always used in underwear, the use of ribbons in the garment industry, while subject to fashion trends, saw the rise in the mid to late 90s. This increase led to improved ribbon manufacturing as well as new and improved manufacturing techniques. Due to more competitive production levels, as well as past experience in this field, companies in the Far East - especially in China - are gradually making sure they become the world's leading ribbon supplier and improving the quality and variety of their merchandise. to match their already established European and North American competitors.

Today, the North American continent remains the largest importer of ribbon and ribbon products (such as ribbons, roses, and other garment accessories made of ribbons). However, due to outsourcing of garment production by North American garment manufacturers, countries in Asia and South America have begun to contribute to the change in statistics on imported bands.
