THE BUYING ANSWER

Start with a clear definition.

Compare ribbon width, surface appearance, edge finish and the way it forms the intended bow. Approve a made-up reference as well as the loose material. A ribbon that looks suitable flat can create a different finished shape.

The decision behind the detail.

Changing stiffness can affect bow loops and tails. Review the complete arrangement before fixing packing dimensions.
