alot of the smell come from the manufacturing process... most of the ribbon we use is a poly or nylon or a blend...these are all petroleum products... when these things are made the whole plant smells like gas/oil/burning ribbon and various other lovely ingredients that you REALLY dont wanna know about... needless to say it is made, wound on a roll, bagged, then boxed and sent to a distributor, who then will maybe unbox it and only open the sealed bags when needed to be bagged/boxed with other colors in your order, sealed in a box shipped to you to be opened.... and what do you get a odourous miasma of STENCH...

I Just got a big order from UB... it had the stangest odd smell to it when I opened it... I have a really sensitive sense of smell and I got the petroleum smell, a pesticide, a perfume, and pine.... really odd... NASTY but odd.... so I unboxed it an let it sit....that was 4 days ago... I pulled some of it to use an most of the smell has gone away... and I figure as I make mthings and the ribbon sits out in the creating process more of the smell will go away....before I mail anything I will give them a good sniffing... if there is anything yucky after that I will give it a good shot of febreeze an sniff again after it dries.... so far I havent had a problem and this has happened to me before.
