FAQs
What material is the ribbon made of?
The ribbon is made of polyester, which gives it a shiny and soft-to-touch surface.
What are the dimensions of the ribbon roll?
The ribbon has a width of 40mm and a total length of 25 metres per roll.
Can this ribbon be used outdoors?
While durable, prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather may cause fading and degradation. It is best suited for indoor use or temporary outdoor decoration.
How many colors are available?
The Neel Blue ribbons come in a very wide variety of colors, including this particular red shade.
Is the ribbon suitable for food decoration?
The ribbon itself is not edible. However, it can be used for decorative elements *around* food presentations, such as tying cake boxes or decorating serving trays, provided it does not come into direct contact with the food.
Can I machine wash the ribbon?
Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the sheen and texture. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method for minor marks.
How should I store the ribbon?
Store the ribbon roll in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its color and quality.
Troubleshooting
Ribbon frays when cut.
Use a very sharp pair of scissors or a rotary cutter. For a clean finish, you can lightly singe the cut ends with a flame (carefully and briefly) or use a fabric sealant.
Color appears different than expected.
Colors can vary slightly between screen displays and the actual product. Check the specific shade name. If significantly different, contact customer support.
Ribbon loses its sheen.
Avoid excessive friction or washing. Store properly to maintain the polyester's natural luster.
