At Australian Printed Ribbon we actively source environmentally sustainable ribbon. We keep up to date with emerging research and development so we can provide our customers with the latest innovations. We endeavour to be at the cutting edge (literally!) of new technology as environmentally friendly production is becoming an increasingly important factor for businesses when designing packaging as well as aligning with our own values.
For those clients who are after sustainable packaging, we can now offer both printed cotton ribbon and satin ribbon options. Additionally, these ribbons are printed in Melbourne, supporting the Australian manufacturing industry and reducing carbon miles.
Single Sided Satin Ribbon
Already the popular choice for branded ribbons for hampers, our Single Sided Satin Ribbon is an environmentally aware production credentials behind it, with improvements and advances being made continually.
Manufactured from wood pulp from certified plantations, it’s produced in a safe, closed-loop process with material wastes recycled back into the system for reuse with no release into the environment. Used water is cleaned and returned to the source with routine testing to ensure thriving biodiversity in the local river. This optimized, low-impact manufacturing process produces less greenhouse gas emissions and uses less water and has a significantly lower environmental impact compared to other conventional cellulose based fibres. The resulting material is 59% Biobased as certified under the USDA BioPreferred Program. The yarn itself holds independent certifications from TUV Austria regarding its ability to biodegrade in soil and water environments.
Available in a great range of popular colours, this ribbon also has the shortest lead time, and is one of our biggest sellers.

Cotton Ribbon Ribbon
Manufactured from 100% Australian grown cotton, with low impact production required to weave our ribbon, natural fibres result in the ribbon closest to nature. It’s completely biodegradable.
Our traditional Herringbone Cotton Ribbon provides a textured look with strength and substance, but it’s the tactile herringbone weave that makes it stand out. In spite of its texture, our superior printing technique means it prints beautifully, and even quite detailed logos are crisp and clear.
For something with a modern edge, then our Flat Cotton Ribbon with its clean lines and simplicity is a sophisticated choice.
We offer the popular natural colour for a more organic look, as well as classic white, in both our Flat and Herringbone Cotton Ribbon. Any PMS colour can be printed onto our Cotton Ribbon.
