Ribbon
A ribbon is a thin band of material, typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily as decorative binding and tying. Cloth ribbons are made of natural materials such as silk, cotton and jute and of synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon and polyproylene. Ribbon is used for innumerable useful, ornamental and symbolic purposes. Some popular major types of ribbon are Satin, Organza Sheers,Velvet and Grosgrain.
While satin and other sorts of ribbon have always been used in lingerie, the usage of ribbon in the garment industry, while subject to fashion trends, saw an upsurge in the mid to late 90's. This upsurge led to increased ribbon manufacturing as well as new and improved manufacturing techniques.
Pieces of ribbon are used as symbols of support or awareness for various social causes and are called "awareness ribbons".
Ribbons are used in some ceremonies, such as in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Ribbons also find use in gift-wrapping, symbolic reference to the opening of a new event etc.
