Ribbon is everywhere in life. How can we distinguish the quality of ribbon?

Ribbon is a textile product. Everyone has seen it and used it, and basically contacts it every day. However, it is too low-key and unabashed, which makes everyone a little strange to it.
Basic concept of ribbon
Generally speaking, a narrow fabric made up of warp and weft yarns is called ribbon, in which “narrow width” is a relative concept, and it is relative to “wide width”. Wide fabric generally refers to cloth or fabric with the same width, and the unit of narrow width is generally centimeter or even millimeter, and the unit of wide width is generally meter. Therefore, narrow fabrics can generally be called webbing.
Because of its special weaving and hemming structure, ribbon has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, durability and stable function, and is often used as an auxiliary material in clothing, shoes, hats, bags, home textiles, automobiles, rigging, hair accessories, gifts, outdoor products and other industries or products.
What are the classifications of webbing?
1, according to the material
Can be divided into: nylon, Teduolong, PP polypropylene, acrylic, cotton, polyester, spandex, rayon, etc.
The distinction between nylon and PP ribbon: Generally, nylon ribbon is woven first and then dyed, so the color of the cut yarn will be white due to uneven dyeing, while PP ribbon will not be white because it is dyed first and then woven. In contrast, nylon ribbon is shiny and soft than PP ribbon, and it can also be distinguished by burning chemical reaction.
2, according to the preparation method
It can be divided into plain weave, twill weave, satin weave and miscellaneous weave.
3, according to the nature of use
It can be divided into clothing ribbon, shoe ribbon, luggage ribbon, safety ribbon and other special ribbons.
4, according to the characteristics of the ribbon itself
It can be divided into elastic webbing and rigid webbing (inelastic webbing).
5, according to the process
Mainly divided into two categories: woven belt and knitted belt. Ribbon, especially jacquard ribbon, is a little similar to cloth label technology, but the warp of cloth label is fixed and the pattern is expressed by weft; However, the basic weft of the ribbon is fixed, and the pattern is expressed by the warp, using a small machine. It may take a long time to make a plate, produce the yarn and adjust the machine every time, and the efficiency is relatively low. But you can make a wide variety of dazzling products, not always those faces like cloth labels. The main function of ribbon is decorative, and some are functional.
6, according to the characteristics
A. Elastic bands: hemming band, silk-clamping elastic band, twill elastic band, towel elastic band, button elastic band, zipper elastic band, non-slip elastic band and jacquard elastic band.
B, rope category: round rubber rope, PP, low elastic, acrylic, cotton, hemp rope, etc.
C. Knitted belt: Due to its special structure, it refers to the knitted belt which is transversely (dimensionally) elastic and mainly used for edge binding.
D, letter belt: polypropylene material, raised letters, bilateral letters, raised letters round rope, etc.
E herringbone straps: transparent shoulder straps, yarn straps and thread straps.
F luggage webbing: PP webbing, nylon wrapping webbing, cotton webbing, rayon webbing, acrylic webbing and jacquard webbing.
G, velvet belt: elastic velvet belt, double-sided velvet belt.
H, all kinds of cotton edges, lace T/ velvet belt: the velvet belt is made of velvet, and the belt is inlaid with a very thin layer of hair.
I, printed tape: tailor-made various patterns on the tape.
J, Eared Ribbon: Suitable for women’s skirts (hanging ears), sweaters, necklines, cuffs, etc.
Identification method of ribbon quality
1. Abnormal surface
Let’s see if the ribbon is polluted first. There should be no dust, oil pollution, dyeing, color marks and other abnormal conditions on the ribbon surface.
2, color difference
Observe whether there is yin and yang color on the surface of the ribbon, and the color, grain and needle edge should not be messy.
3. Needle
A good webbing can’t have needles. You can check whether there are needles by observing the surface.
4, raw edges
There must be no serious hairballs or burrs on the surface of the ribbon, which can be seen with the naked eye.
5, the size of the edge
That is, the ears on both sides can be one big and one small. This situation is mainly aimed at ribbed hat belt products.
6. Thickness and width
Good webbing products have the thickness and width.
① Thickness requirements: the thickness tolerance shall not exceed the range of plus or minus 025.
② Width requirements: measure the width with an accurate ruler, and the tolerance shall not exceed the range of plus or minus 0.02.
7. Soft hardness
According to the requirements of the guest’s version, it is judged whether the hardness of the ribbon product is almost the same as that of the guest’s version.
