What are its characteristics?

They carry not only basic ribbons, cords, and tapes, but also products that can be used in a wide range of fields, such as underwear, sportswear, apparel, wrapping, and industrial materials.

They focus on developing original products, and handle many unique patented products.

Product Introduction

I would like to introduce some highly unique products from Inoue Ribbon!

7150 Soft stretch grosgrain

I think it’s rare to find stretchy grosgrain ribbon.
It has just the right amount of stretch, so it can be used as a size tape for hats to fit curves, or as edging.

7552 Light silk grosgrain

This ribbon is made of a silk, polyester, and nylon blend. It is a beautiful ribbon with the elegant luster and firmness that only silk, a natural material, can provide. It comes in a range of colors from subtle to bold.

4600 Air Mesh

This tape is made of mesh material and looks cool because it allows air to pass through. It is recommended for use around the waist of sportswear or under a bra.

1760 High Grip Tape

The surface of this tape has a rough, grippy texture that feels like it’s made up of tiny particles.

It uses “Nanofront,” a special ultra-fine polyester fiber with a nano-sized diameter developed by Teijin Frontier. It is also stretchy, making it ideal for preventing the waistband of underwear that comes into direct contact with the skin from slipping.

5501 Mesh Accordio

As the name suggests, this tape is shaped like an accordion. I’ve never seen a tape with a design like this before. The mesh part has a flap, making this tape both breathable and stylish.

This is a unique tape that expands in width as you move when used in areas like around the knees or waist of your trousers.

I think one of Inoue Ribbon’s strengths is that they offer a wide range of highly functional tapes that can be used for innerwear and sportswear items.

Conclusion

Inoue Ribbon’s product development capabilities can be seen in the fact that they carry everything from basic items to edgy ribbons and tapes.
