The story
Sirio Ultra Black is the deepest black in the Sirio family, dyed through the pulp without carbon black. That detail matters on press: metallic foils do not oxidise or speckle on it the way they can on carbon-dyed blacks, so gold, copper and silver stay bright. It runs from 115 gsm up to a 680 gsm laminated board, enough for rigid business cards and box covers. Pair it with white ink, foil or blind deboss for stark, quietly expensive work.
