We supply ribbon printed either by Foil Blocking or Rotary wet ink process. The process used will depend on the length of ribbon required, the number of colours and the complexity of the design.

Foil Block Printing

This method of production is suitable for simple designs where short runs of single colour printing are required. The minimum quantity is 50 metres, with the exception of 9.5, 12 and 15mm ribbon where the minimum quantity is 200 metres.

 

 

Rotary Printing

Rotary Printing using wet inks is preferable where the design is not suitable for Foil Blocking as it can provide finer detail and be in up to six colours.

Set-up costs tend to be higher and since the minimum order is 1,000 metres, it is a medium mainly used for commercial and marketing purposes.

 

Artwork

Artwork must be supplied at the required printing size and be in Black and White, (Camera-Ready). Alternatively we can produce artwork for you if required (additional charges apply).

Plates

Whichever process is used, it is often necessary to produce printing plates from the artwork. This is a one-off cost of approximately £20 - £100 depending on the complexity of the job and the type of printing process used.
