Main risks

• Cuts from cardstock edges or when using scissors and craft knives.
• Choking or ingestion risk from small parts (offcuts, confetti, die-cuts), especially for children under 3 years and pets.
• Combustible material: can catch fire easily if exposed to flames, sparks or high temperatures.
• Possible colour transfer to skin, clothing or surfaces, especially when damp.
• Mild irritation from paper dust when cutting large quantities or during die-cutting; discomfort if it gets into the eyes.
• Jams and overheating in printers if the weight (gsm) is not compatible.
• Suffocation risk from packaging bags.

Safe use

• Handle with dry hands and cut on a stable surface; keep fingers clear of the cutting line and use tools in good condition.
• Use a cutting mat and, where appropriate, a ruler with a non-cutting edge to guide straight cuts.
• Keep the cardstock away from candles, lighters and other heat sources; do not place it on hot light fittings.
• Check the compatibility of the weight (gsm) with your printer before printing and follow the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
• Avoid putting the cardstock in your mouth and do not use it for direct food contact unless specifically stated for this product.
• Work in a ventilated area when applying glues, paints or aerosols to the cardstock, following the precautions for those products.
• Clear away offcuts and small pieces immediately to prevent trips and to stop children or pets from handling them.
• If paper dust gets into your eyes or you notice skin irritation, stop the activity and rinse with water.

Storage and maintenance

• Store cardstock in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from moisture, flames and heat sources.
• Keep sheets flat or in rigid folders to avoid warping and damaged corners; do not place excessive weight on top.
• Protect from direct sunlight to reduce fading.
• Keep the pack closed when not in use to prevent dust and moisture-related warping.
• Keep out of reach of young children and pets.
• If they get wet, allow to dry completely flat; do not use sheets with mould, bad odours or stains for children’s crafts.

Restrictions on use

• Not a toy. Do not allow children to handle it without supervision; keep small parts out of the reach of children under 3 years.
• Do not use near flames, embers, heaters, ovens, microwaves or on appliances that generate heat.
• Do not use to wrap hot or greasy foods or for uses involving direct contact with the mouth.
• Avoid uses that could obstruct breathing or vision (for example, costumes that cover the nose, mouth or eyes).
• Do not force use in printers, die-cutting machines or guillotines that are not compatible with its weight (gsm).
• Do not use as a structural element to bear weight or in electrical applications.
