Silk Printed Webbing Tape No 1
Screen printed words and patterns applied after weaving, the economical route to branded tape when a jacquard plate cannot be justified.
What This Item Is
Silk Printed Webbing Tape No 1 is produced to a customer drawing, not to a catalogue size. We weave it between 0.65 mm and 2.5 mm thick, with the width taken from whatever you send us. You approve the colour on woven material rather than on a screen, and the reserved dye lot keeps it that way. Samples take 3 to 7 days and production 7 to 15 days once the sample is approved.

- Screen printing

How It Compares
Weaving survives washing and abrasion far better because the mark is structural. Printing costs less to set up and holds finer text, which is why we recommend it for short runs and text heavy artwork.
Transfers sit on the surface as a film and can stiffen a narrow tape. Screen printing lays ink into the face and keeps more of the original hand.
Plain tape is always cheaper. Printing earns its cost when the strap is doing identification work as well as load work.
Use Guide
- Ask for a printed sample before bulk; ink behaves differently on each ground fibre
- Send vector artwork and state the finished cut length so the repeat lands correctly
- Avoid very fine reversed-out text on dark grounds at narrow widths
- Allow the print to cure fully before high temperature pressing downstream

Questions Buyers Ask About Silk Printed Webbing Tape No 1
What is the minimum order for printed webbing
1000 metres per artwork and width for standard production, with printed samples in 3 to 7 days so you can check the ink on your chosen ground.
Is printing cheaper than weaving my logo into the tape
For most short runs, yes. After the ribbon is woven you can screen words or patterns onto it, which is generally cheaper than weaving the same detail directly. Jacquard becomes worthwhile when the mark must survive heavy washing and abrasion.
Can our logo be added to this tape
Either woven in with a computer jacquard plate, which survives washing and abrasion, or screen printed after weaving, which costs less to set up on short runs.
How is this item packed for export
50 yards per roll and 30 rolls per carton as standard, with some items on 500 yard rolls. We pack to your own list when you have one.
Which shipping and payment terms do you work on
