Troubleshooting
Ribbon appears creased upon arrival
Gently iron the ribbon on a low heat setting using a pressing cloth. Ensure the iron is not too hot to avoid damage.
Color doesn't exactly match expected shade
Colors can vary slightly due to monitor settings. Order a sample if an exact color match is critical for your project.
