Gift Velvet Pouch - Red / 7x9cm

Important safety notice for gift wrapping in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the correct and safe use of gift wrapping (gift boxes and bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, fillers, ribbons, twine, bows, stickers/seals, and decorations). As these may include thin films, strings, and small parts, please follow the instructions below to prevent injuries, choking, and fires.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Plastic bags/films, small ornaments, and clips pose a choking and swallowing hazard; products are not toys.
• Strings and ribbons: Long ribbons and twine can cause strangulation or entanglement; do not use them on children's necks or strollers.
• Fire and heat: Paper, fillers, and decorations are flammable; keep them away from open flames, candles, sparks, and hot surfaces.
• Cutting edges and clips: Metal clips/wires and some cardboards may have sharp edges; handle with care.
• Adhesives and tapes: Use according to instructions; avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin contact.

Proper and safe use

• Use as intended: Materials are intended for gift wrapping; not suitable for food or prolonged direct skin contact.
• Load capacity of bags and boxes: Do not exceed the recommended weight of contents; support heavy items with reinforcement.
• Ventilation during wrapping: Do not cover the face with films or tightly wrap the body with ribbons; there is a risk of suffocation or injury.
• Attachment of decorations: Do not attach heavy decorations above areas where they could fall on people; use appropriate fasteners when hanging.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

• Cleaning: Wipe unprinted surfaces with a dry cloth; do not use aggressive cleaners that may dissolve colors and adhesives.
• Storage: Store in a dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight; keep paper and ribbons away from heat sources and flames.
• Condition check: Before use, check the integrity of bags, boxes, and adhesive joints; do not use damaged parts.

Specific health warnings

• Allergies and sensitivities: Some dyes, varnishes, glitters, and adhesives may irritate skin or respiratory tract; use in a ventilated area and discontinue use if a reaction occurs.
• Absorbents and items in packaging: If the packaging contains silica gel or other absorbents, do not eat them and keep out of reach of children and animals.

Disposal

• Waste sorting: Sort paper and cardboard into paper recycling; plastic films, ribbons, and fillers according to local regulations; separate metal clips.
• Safe disposal: Puncture or tie bags and films before disposal to prevent choking hazards; wrap sharp clips.

Incidents and contact

• In case of an incident (film choking, skin/respiratory irritation, cuts), immediately stop use and seek medical help if necessary. Keep the product and proof of purchase for reporting.
