Abstract
In a V-ribbed belt used in a manner of bringing the back face as well as the bottom face into contact with pulleys, a hiding layer for hiding the texture of the belt is formed on a part of the side faces of the belt body, and a mark indicating the history of belt manufacturing is provided on the hiding layer. This prevents the occurrence of inconveniences resulting from the formation of the mark on the belt back face and keeps the mark recognizable for a long time.
