COLOUR / WIDTH SELECTION: In certain sections of the website, we have placed colour charts - these are to give you an indication of the colour, but due to different computer monitors, these swatches must not be relied upon as a definite colour - if you are in anyway unsure of the colour or width, please ask for a sample prior to ordering - we cannot accept responsibility if the colour or width of your ribbon is not as you thought - we offer free samples for your assurance. If you do place an order and the colour or width is not as expected, we will accept a return for a refund minus a 20% restocking fee minus postage. PLEASE NOTE: This does not apply to bespoke products - these are not eligible for return unless faulty. Ribbon colours can vary from batch to batch, this is a normal occurrence in the manufacturing process and we have no control over this and therefore cannot be held responsible for any colour variation. We reserve the right to substitute standard ribbon / foil colours to the nearest shade – Every effort will be made to contact you (the customer) in this instance.
Please Note: With repeat orders etc. we cannot guarantee to match shades of ribbon / foil unless it is ordered together in a specific batch.
Ribbon Widths: All of our ribbons carry a +/- 2mm tolerance on widths - this is due to the manufacturing process of woven ribbon.
Customer Supplied Ribbon: There may be some minor loss of meterage in printing customer supplied ribbon due to the setting up processes etc. It is therefore advisable to include at least 10m additional ribbon to take account of this.
Cutting/Heat Sealing: Our cutting / Heat Sealing process has a tolerance of +/- 10mm – This is due to the stretching properties of woven ribbons.
Ribbon Use:
Printed ribbon has been developed for decorative purposes only and customers should satisfy themselves that the product is suitable for the application intended. As with most printed items, rough handling and excessive abrasion may lift the print in certain circumstances. Therefore care should be taken when handling. The majority of printed ribbon is not washable – If washable print is required, please contact us for information regarding this process.
Whilst the ribbon manufactures keep joins to a minimum, we cannot guarantee that a print run will be free of joins. We will guarantee that all orders of 3m or less contain no joins.
Samples:
We provide a free sample service by request for colour matching, Font size, Purpose of use and quality prior to print. If a customer decided to proceed with an order without requesting a sample, the customer accepts responsibility for the final print run. We can not be held responsible for a print run that has been completed without a sample request unless proven to be faulty.
Please Note: With repeat orders etc. we cannot guarantee to match shades of ribbon / foil unless it is ordered together in a specific batch.
