FAQs
What is the ribbon made of?
The ribbon is made of 100% polyester material, giving it a soft feel and a shiny satin finish.
How long is the ribbon on one roll?
Each roll contains 25 meters of ribbon.
What is the width of the ribbon?
The ribbon is 10mm wide.
Can this ribbon be used for outdoor decorations?
While durable, polyester satin is best suited for indoor or temporary outdoor use. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather can cause fading and damage.
Is the ribbon washable?
It is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing is not advised as it may affect the ribbon's texture and sheen.
Can I iron this ribbon?
Yes, you can iron the ribbon on the lowest heat setting, using a pressing cloth to protect the satin finish from direct heat.
Does the ribbon have the same finish on both sides?
Yes, this is a double-sided ribbon, meaning it has a consistent shiny finish on both the front and the back.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon frays when cut.
Use very sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. For synthetic materials like polyester, lightly singeing the cut edges with a flame (carefully and briefly) can prevent fraying, but test on a scrap piece first.
Color transfer onto surfaces.
Ensure the ribbon is completely dry before contact with sensitive materials. While rare with quality dyes, test on an inconspicuous area if concerned about dye transfer, especially if the ribbon will be exposed to moisture.
Ribbon loses its sheen.
Avoid excessive friction, harsh cleaning agents, or high heat, which can dull the satin finish. Store properly away from abrasive materials.
Ribbon appears creased from storage.
Gently iron the ribbon on the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth, or hang it for a few days to allow creases to fall out naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This ribbon requires no setup. Simply unroll the desired length and cut with sharp scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. For intricate designs, a craft knife may also be useful.
Compatibility: Compatible with most fabric glues, stitching, and hot glue guns (use low-heat setting to avoid melting). It adheres well to paper, cardstock, fabric, and various decorative surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the satin finish and color.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and maintain the material's integrity. Keep it loosely rolled or flat to avoid creases.
- Cutting: Use fabric scissors or a craft knife for clean cuts. A pinking shear can create a decorative edge.
- Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use the lowest heat setting and place a pressing cloth between the iron and the ribbon to prevent melting or scorching.
