I am the Wardrobe Master and Shop Foreman in a Costume Shop in Oklahoma City. I have been searching for bulk dye to re-up my supply for our summer season and my boss, our designer, and I were havng this exact conversation. We COMPLETELY agree. The new packaging is ridiculous and impracticle. I will be taking our advice and writing to the company about our dissappointment. Having used many different dyes before we have found that Rit is the best for our uses...but come on, I wan the dye on my selected fabric... not all over myself.
