FAQs
What material is the ribbon made of?
The ribbon is made of 100% polyester, providing a soft, satin finish.
How long is the ribbon on one roll?
Each roll contains 25 metres of ribbon.
What does 'double-sided' mean for this ribbon?
It means that both the front and back of the ribbon have the same satin finish, so either side can be displayed.
Can this ribbon be used outdoors?
While durable, polyester can fade with prolonged exposure to UV rays. It is best suited for indoor use or temporary outdoor applications.
Is this ribbon suitable for sewing onto clothing?
Yes, it can be sewn onto clothing, but use a fine needle and appropriate thread. Be aware that the smooth surface may require extra pins to hold it in place during sewing.
What is the best way to store the ribbon?
Store the ribbon rolled in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color and finish.
Can I use this ribbon with a hot glue gun?
Yes, but use caution. Apply the hot glue to the surface you are attaching the ribbon to, rather than directly onto the ribbon, and use a low-temperature hot glue gun if possible to avoid melting the polyester.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon frays when cut.
Ensure you are using sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for a clean cut. You can also lightly singe the ends with a flame (carefully!) to prevent fraying, especially if the ends will not be enclosed in a craft.
Color appears different than expected.
Color can vary slightly due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Refer to the product image and description for the closest representation.
Ribbon is creased or wrinkled.
Hang the ribbon for a few days, or gently iron it on a low heat setting with a pressing cloth to remove creases. Avoid high heat, which can damage the polyester.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This ribbon requires no setup. It comes ready to use off the roll. Simply cut to the desired length using sharp scissors for a clean edge.
Compatibility: Compatible with most adhesives used in crafting, such as fabric glue or hot glue (use caution with hot glue to avoid melting the polyester). It can be sewn onto fabric, though care should be taken due to its smooth surface.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking, as excessive moisture can affect the satin finish. Do not machine wash.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Keep it rolled to maintain its shape and prevent creases.
