Logo ribbon for gift wrapping: ideas for shops, florists, bakeries and Christmas
Seven ways a logo ribbon works in a shop, a flower studio, a bakery and for corporate gifts – with the widths that suit each and the date to order by for the Christmas season.
In December the packaging sells almost as well as the product: shoppers choose the shop that wraps the gift beautifully. A ribbon with your logo is the simplest way to do that without special boxes or large print runs. Seven ideas we see working.
1. A gift box tied crosswise
The classic for shops and e-commerce. A plain box and a 20–25 mm satin ribbon with your logo look like branded packaging even though the box is standard. A medium box needs about 1.8 m.
2. A bouquet
For florists the ribbon is the business card: bouquets get photographed and shown to others. Use 25–40 mm satin or, if the bouquet is tied with a bow, satin with a coloured reverse so no white back shows.
3. Cake and pastry boxes
In a bakery a 10–15 mm ribbon round the box is enough. It keeps the lid on and tells everyone where the cake came from when it lands on the party table.
4. A paper bag with a ribbon
A ribbon instead of handles, or a knot on the handle, turns an ordinary paper bag into a gift bag. Bag and ribbon can be matched in one colour.
5. Corporate Christmas gifts
If you give gift sets to employees and clients, a ribbon with the company logo ties everything together – even when the boxes are plain. For premium gifts choose premium satin: it is denser and holds a bow better.
6. Cosmetics, candles, craft goods
For small jars and boxes a 10–15 mm grosgrain ribbon works well: matt, non-slip and a good match for kraft paper. For natural cosmetics brands – eco ribbon made from recycled PET.
7. Openings and events
A wide 45–50 mm logo ribbon for a shop opening, a car handover or wrapping prizes. Here 25 m is enough.
Which colour for the season
Red, dark green and gold are a safe choice but not a must. A ribbon in your brand colour with a white logo looks just as festive in December and does not have to be shelved afterwards. If you order 100 m or more, that is more practical than a seasonal-only design.
When to order
Production takes 7–10 working days after artwork approval. For the ribbon to be in the shop at the start of December, the order has to be confirmed by the end of November. Orders start at 25 m; for prices and quantities see how much a printed ribbon costs.
FAQ
How much ribbon does a small shop need for the Christmas season?
If you wrap about 50 gifts tied crosswise, you need roughly 100 m. Tied simply once round the box, the same length covers 100 gifts.
Can the ribbon carry text as well as a logo?
Yes, for example a greeting or a web address. On narrow ribbons the text has to be short and large enough.
Can I order two different designs?
Yes, each design is a separate order from 25 m.
