How do you cut double satin ribbon without it fraying?

The simplest way is to use hot-blade scissors or pinking shears. Alternatively, after cutting with normal scissors, you can quickly run the flame of a lighter along the edge to seal the fibres. For those working with large quantities, the heated tool is more efficient.

Are longer reels (100 m) cheaper per metre?

Generally yes: 100 m reels in thin widths (6 and 10 mm) have a lower cost per metre compared to 25 or 50 m reels. If you need to make a large number of wedding favours, it's worth comparing the total price of the available options before ordering.

Furlanis

Q: How many metres should I buy?

As a rule of thumb: for each wedding favour with a simple bow, calculate approximately 40–50 cm of 25 mm ribbon. With a 50 m reel you can make around 100 wedding favours. For larger widths (40–43 mm) the consumption per bow increases to 60–80 cm. It's always best to buy an extra 10–15% for unexpected use and trials.

Q: Is Furlanis double satin ribbon suitable for automatic packaging machines?

The 6 and 10 mm widths are compatible with most tabletop packaging machines for wedding favours. For larger widths (25–43 mm) the ribbon is usually applied by hand. Always check the technical specifications of your machine before purchasing.

Q: Which Furlanis colours go best with white confetti?

Optical white and natural white are the most neutral and match any confetti. For a colour effect, powder pink or lilac work well with classic white confetti. Acid green and yellow are suitable for more informal ceremonies or floral-themed events. You can find the complete range of [wedding favour confetti](/collections/confetti-maxtris) on L'Arcolaio.

Features and types of Furlanis ribbons

Double satin ribbon: the material

Furlanis double satin ribbon has a glossy surface on both sides. This makes it ideal for bows, ties and favour bag closures, because the result looks neat even when the knot is turned inside out. Satin does not fray easily at the edges, which makes cutting with zigzag scissors simpler for those who want to finish the ends.

Available widths

The Furlanis catalogue on L'Arcolaio covers five main widths:

6 mm — perfect for tight ties on small bags or confetti tubes
10 mm — versatile for delicate bows on boxes and trays
16 mm — good balance between visibility and discretion
25 mm — the most requested size for standard favours; available in optical white, natural white, powder pink, light salmon, lilac and acid green
40–43 mm — for more eye-catching decorations: large bows, rosettes and table settings. The ribbon Double Satin 43mm Gold Silver on a 25 mt spool is suitable for ceremonies with gold or silver palettes

Colour palette

The range includes classic ceremony colours — optical white, natural white, baby blue, powder pink, lilac — and more contemporary shades such as coral, salmon, acid green, yellow and sulphur. The bicolour gold/silver is designed for those who want a metallic detail on elegant favours.

How to choose the right ribbon

For weddings

The 25 mm ribbon in natural white or powder pink pairs well with organza or linen bags. For a gold-themed wedding, the 43 mm gold/silver ribbon on a 25 mt spool is the most straightforward choice. If you have many favours to prepare, consider a 50 or 100 mt spool so you don't run out halfway through.

If you're also looking for confetti to match, on L'Arcolaio you'll find the Maxtris confetti section with the full range available for weddings and other ceremonies.

For christenings

Baby blue (40 mm, 25 mt spool) is the most requested colour for boys' christenings. For girls, powder pink or light salmon at 25 mm width give a delicate result. The 50 mt spool is sufficient for approximately 80–100 favours with a standard bow, depending on the knot chosen.

For communion and confirmation

For communion and confirmation, optical white from 10 mm on a 100 mt spool is among the most purchased formats: the longer spool allows you to cover large quantities without additional shipping costs. The 25 mm lilac is suitable for ceremonies with purple palettes, which are especially popular for confirmation.

How many metres should I buy?

A practical rule: for each favour with a simple bow, calculate approximately 40–50 cm of 25 mm ribbon. With a 50 mt spool you can prepare approximately 100 favours. For larger widths (40–43 mm) consumption per bow rises to 60–80 cm. It's always wise to get 10–15% extra for unexpected uses and tests.

I Maxtris confetti are often paired with these ribbons: check that the ribbon colour coordinates with the shade of confetti you've chosen for the ceremony.
