REAL BLACK - Archroma

Can we enjoy deep black dyes that keep our water clear?

WHAT WE LOVE:

Intense deep black paper packaging that looks good for longer
Buying or eating food from a wrap or box that doesn’t stain

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

During the dyeing of deep black paper packaging most of the colorant ends up in the backwater…
… leading to the need of laborious machine cleaning and backwater treatment
Many dyes used for deep shades tend to bleed and fade making them unsuitable for food and luxury packaging
