How much does a printed ribbon cost? Price per metre and how many metres you need
A satin ribbon with your logo costs from €0.52 to €2.59 per metre, depending on length and width. A price table, examples for 25, 100 and 500 metres and a simple formula for how much ribbon one box needs.
Three things set the price of a ribbon: how many metres you order, how wide it is and what it is made of. The number of colours does not matter – dyeing and full-colour printing are already in the price. Below are our catalogue prices excl. VAT.
Satin ribbon: price per metre
| Length | 10 mm | 25 mm | 50 mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 m | €2.59 | €2.73 | €3.79 |
| 50 m | €1.19 | €1.33 | €2.39 |
| 100 m | €0.74 | €0.91 | €1.46 |
| 250 m | €0.64 | €0.83 | €1.26 |
| 500 m | €0.59 | €0.77 | €1.19 |
| 1000 m | €0.52 | €0.63 | €1.09 |
Prices for the other widths fall in between; all of them are shown on the satin ribbon page when you pick a width.
Why 100 metres is better value than 25
For a short run most of the price is setup, not the ribbon itself. That is why 25 m of 10 mm ribbon costs €64.75, while four times as much – 100 m – is only €74.00. If you will use the ribbon after the season too, 100 m is almost always worth it.
Other kinds of ribbon
- Premium satin, grosgrain and eco ribbon – €0.14 per metre more than satin in the same width and length.
- Satin with a coloured reverse – a surcharge of €0.15 per metre up to 30 mm wide, €0.27 for 35–40 mm and €0.41 for 45–50 mm.
How many metres you need
A simple formula for a box tied crosswise with a bow: 2 × length + 2 × width + 4 × height + 60 cm for the bow.
- A 20 × 20 × 10 cm box: 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.4 + 0.6 = 1.8 m.
- Once round the box with a knot: about 1 m.
- A bouquet or a bag handle: 0.7–1 m.
So 100 m is enough for about 55 boxes tied crosswise or 100–130 bouquets. Add 5–10 % as a reserve.
Examples
- Florist, 100 m of 25 mm satin: €91.00 – about 100 bouquets, €0.91 per bouquet.
- Bakery, 250 m of 15 mm satin: about €172 – ribbon for cake boxes for several months.
- Corporate gifts, 100 m of 25 mm premium satin: €105.00 – for 55 boxes with a bow.

FAQ
Do I pay extra for each colour in the logo?
No. The print is full colour and the number of colours does not change the price.
Can I order 30 or 70 metres?
Yes. The price per metre is taken from the nearest lower tier – 30 m at the 25 m price, 70 m at the 50 m price. Rounding up to the next tier is often better value.
Are VAT and delivery included?
Prices are excl. VAT. Delivery in Latvia and the EU is calculated in the offer, depending on quantity and address.
