Brand color matching & Pantone - what we can and can't do

The real question behind "can you match Pantone X?" is: will my brand green look exactly like the brand book? The answer depends on the line you pick.


ColorTrue™ - best match we offer:

11 dedicated ink channels, including green, red and orange printed direct (not built from a CMYK mix). For saturated palettes, specific brand colors, and shades regular print doesn't reach, ColorTrue™ lands meaningfully closer to the target Pantone than any 4-color CMYK print. The difference is visible to the naked eye - especially on greens, oranges and vibrant shades.


What we don't guarantee:

Certified 100% Pantone match, identical to an official swatch. That would require a Pantone-licensed flow (spot Pantone inks mixed per color), which isn't our model. We run process color with 11 channels - best approximation, no official Pantone paperwork.


Die-Cut UV 150 µm and Economy UV:

Standard CMYK. For neutral palettes and mid-saturation, results are very strong. For brand-critical colors (neon, saturated, brand-specific greens / oranges), they're not the line - that's where ColorTrue™ comes in.


Practical recommendation:

  1. Specify the target Pantone in your brief (e.g. "Pantone 165 C" for orange).
  2. Pick ColorTrue™.
  3. Run a small sample before the big volume, if perfect match is critical.


If you're not sure, message us in chat with the Pantone code and the palette - we'll say upfront how close we land.
