Features and Types
The ARPIMEX catalogue available on L'Arcolaio is divided into five main areas. Each area meets a specific need: from the preparation of wedding favours to Christmas tree decoration, to gift wrapping.
Ribbons for packaging and wedding favours
Ribbons are the brand's largest category. You'll find the classic grosgrain ribbon (also in the Supreme version) in colours such as dove grey, white, chocolate and neon pink, available in widths from 10 mm to 40 mm and in rolls from 20 to 50 metres. The taffeta ribbon — in ivory, powder pink and other shades — is among the most requested for packaging favour bags for weddings and christenings. For a more rustic style, the jute ribbon in orange, lavender and other colours offers widths up to 5 cm on rolls of 18 metres. Completing the range is the lace ribbon, offered in white and ivory in heights from 2 to 4 cm, ideal for borders and decorations on ceremony packages and bags. The cotton balls of thread (e.g. orange colour, 4 mm, 500 g) are instead used for ties and hand-made decorative details.
Wrapping paper and packaging
ARPIMEX offers several types of paper in roll form. The Polymatt roll (H 1 m × 25 m) is available in a very wide palette — white, black, gold, red, pink, nude, sage, sky blue, dark blue — and is suitable for wrapping large gifts. The honeycomb rolls (H 50 cm × 20 m) in white, blue, green and natural are appreciated for sustainable packaging, thanks to the paper structure that protects fragile items without the use of plastic. The Carta Roccia d'Acqua (100% paper) in sky blue and yellow is an alternative for boxes with a particular texture. The paper bags (55 × 18 × 40 cm, white colour) complete the packaging department for those who need sturdy carrier bags.
Glass wedding favours and sweet bowls
For weddings, christenings and communions, ARPIMEX offers small glass bottles in two versions: height 10 cm with 4 cm base, and height 11 cm with handle. Both are ready to be customised with ribbons, labels and confetti. The transparent PVC tube sweet bowls (3.5 × 2 × 11.5 cm, pack of 50 pcs) are a practical solution for distributing confetti elegantly. In the selection you'll also find the arpimex glass jar candle: glass jar with wax, diameter 8.5 cm and height 10 cm, offered in Red version, as well as variants in glass jar candle black colour, brown e grey: four neutral colours that suit any ceremony theme.
Christmas Decorations
For the Christmas period, ARPIMEX offers decorative fabric angels in several versions: theChristmas angel in gold fabric 16 cm is an example to hang on the tree or use as a place card, as are the angels with tree skirt (h 17 cm, powder pink colour) and those with ivory star. The Christmas velvet bow 13.5 × 10 cm blue is ideal for decorating gift boxes, garlands or doors. The declared materials are fabric and velvet; no glass or plastic in this line.
How to choose the right ARPIMEX products
For wedding or christening favours: pair the transparent glass bottles with an ivory or powder pink taffeta ribbon. If you prefer a favour with a function, the glass jar candles with wax (available in black, grey, brown and red) are ready to give even without further decorations.
For gift box preparation: choose the Polymatt roll if you need to cover wide boxes and want a matte and resistant finish. Prefer the honeycomb roll if you want to protect fragile items with a 100% paper material, without adding bubble wrap.
For Christmas decorations: ARPIMEX fabric angels are used both as tree decorations and as gift toppers. Velvet bows adapt to boxes, wreaths and doors. Pair them with a jute or grosgrain ribbon for a coordinated result.
For ceremonies such as communions and confirmations: the transparent PVC tube sweet bowls of 50 pcs are practical to assemble independently; just a thin ribbon and a personalised label are enough to complete them.
On the colour front, the ARPIMEX palette covers both neutral shades (white, ivory, dove grey, nude) and vibrant ones (neon pink, orange, red) and seasonal ones (gold, powder pink, lavender). This makes the products suitable for both elegant ceremonies and colourful decorations for birthday parties or Easter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do ARPIMEX ribbons use?
Ribbons vary by material: grosgrain and Supreme are made of woven synthetic fibres; taffeta is a smooth and glossy weave; jute is a natural plant fibre. The lace ribbon has a perforated structure. The exact composition of each item is shown in the product sheet.
Are glass jar candles suitable as a complete favour?
Yes. ARPIMEX candles in glass jars (D 8.5 cm, H 10 cm) already contain wax and are available in four colours: black, grey, brown and red. They are used directly as a favour for weddings or christenings, possibly enriched with a matching ribbon.
Are ARPIMEX glass bottles sold individually or in multiple packs?
The bottles (H 10 cm base 4 cm and H 11 cm with handle) are sold as a single piece in the catalogue. The PVC tube sweet bowls, on the other hand, come in a pack of 50 pcs.
Are ARPIMEX wrapping paper rolls plastic or paper?
It depends on the type. Polymatt is a roll made of opaque polypropylene. The honeycomb paper and Carta Roccia d'Acqua are instead 100% paper. If you're looking for a plastic-free solution, focus your choice on the latter.
Are ARPIMEX Christmas angels only used on the tree?
No. Fabric angels — such as those with tree skirt (h 17 cm) or with star — are also used as place cards on the table, decorations on gift boxes or elements for Christmas table arrangements. The velvet bow 13.5 × 10 cm blue is instead suitable for decorating doors, wreaths and packages.
On L'Arcolaio we select ARPIMEX products to meet the most concrete needs of those who organise ceremonies or set up festive decorations: ribbons ready to use, glass containers to personalise and Christmas decorations already finished. You'll find everything in the grid above, with up-to-date availability and prices.
