Looking for advice on packaging photo chemistry

Trey · Mar 17, 2020

Awhile back at Gowanus Darkroom we started mixing our own developers and hypoclear to save money. It's been good mostly, but we've had some confusion around the packaging:

I'm wondering whether anyone here has done a similar thing and maybe has a better method. I think the labels could be more clear, but if I could simplify this in any way it would be appreciated.

I think it's pretty clear really. Maybe the leaflet that probably goes with it moght clarify any issues users may run into. But honestly, I don't think it gets much clearer than this. Nice job.

Btw PE once spoke his doubts on the long term usability of those ziplock baggies when I told him I keel my CD3 and CD4 in them. This will not be an issue up to something like a year or so, so I'm not sure if it needs looking into, but I just wanted to rwlay what he said to me.

Looks nice! As Koraks indicates, the bags probably are not great for long term storage, so you might want to inform your users of that issue.

I would guess no one is stockpiling vast quantities, but you might let them know...

That all looks pretty clearly labeled to me.

Color-coded, letter-coded, pre-measured and described. Honestly, I’m not sure how you could make it any simpler.

Add clear written mixing instructions to each package.
