We're glad to hear that you’re pleased with the Tote Bags and the handles. However, we apologize for the strong smell from the off-gassing ink. Off-gassing can occur with freshly printed items, and while it typically dissipates over time, we understand that it can be unpleasant. Here are a few suggestions to help speed up the process: - Air Them Out: Spread the bags out in a well-ventilated area, preferably outdoors or in a space with good air circulation. This can help the smell dissipate more quickly. - Use Baking Soda: Placing an open container of baking soda near the bags can help absorb odors. - Sunlight Exposure: Brief exposure to sunlight can also help reduce odors. Just be cautious not to leave them out too long to avoid any potential fading. If the smell persists and prevents you from using the bags, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We can look into the issue further and discuss possible solutions. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience.
