Printed Ribbon

Hi everyone

I am looking for a bit of advice. I am looking to get some ribbon printed - I genuinely don't have the time to attempt it myself ( I have 3 monkeys :) ) so I am looking to get about 20m of ribbon printed up with my company name, there are lots of sites offering to do this but I have no idea if they are any good or not, and what the going rate is!

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

    I was looking into this a while ago and came across this site which seems to be quite reasonable. (Edit: may not be reasonable after all, see post below.) I havent actually ordered any yet as considering personalised labels instead but will keep an eye on this thread just incase anyone else has any tips in relation to ribbon.

    I would say the prices on the above link are a bit steep as no discount is offered for having more the price for 1 and 10 mts works out the same price.
    What type of ribbon are you looking to get printed and what will you be using it for, if you are intending to use it for labeling it would be a totally different print as a different foil is used, unless you see it advertised as waterproof they are not so not suitable for labelling.

    I make lots of things out of fabric that people give as gifts, so I was looking for some way of putting my company name on each item so that the recipients know where they come from!

    The sort of thing I am looking for is similar to the name tags you sew into kids clothing I suppose.

    Not sure if these would be any good.

    I know they are good as I was recommended them by a lady on one of the sewing forums. You can put your own logo etc on them too as well as whatever wording you want.
