X-Rite to Present at drupa Touchpoint Packaging Forum

X-Rite Incorporated, a global leader in color science and technology, announced that it is participating in the drupa 2024 touchpoint packaging (TPP) forum. The company will demonstrate the latest digital color solutions, helping brands and suppliers produce accurate color across various packaging types and substrates. In Hall 3, Booth B31, X-Rite brand packaging color experts will present multiple sessions on how color specification and quality control software help brands go to market faster while enabling sustainability objectives.

“Consumer attitudes are shifting towards personalization and sustainability adding new complexities to the packaging process from design to production,” said Cindy Cooperman, VP of Global Brand Sales, X-Rite. “At drupa touchpoint packaging, visitors will learn how X-Rite and Pantone digital color solutions and services are helping brands manage print quality across packaging types including recycled and eco-friendly substrates and between global suppliers for color accuracy and consistency on the shelf. As companies introduce new products and SKUs, implementing digital color workflows improves time to market by ensuring a consistent brand identity and removing guesswork that generates waste for up to 30% fewer claims.”

X-Rite continues expanding PantoneLIVE capabilities and will demonstrate PantoneLIVE Private Library Manager, a new feature allowing brands to add custom brand colors to the PantoneLIVE ecosystem. Brands can leverage pure spectral values for custom color specification throughout the production process to accurately reproduce brand colors on a variety of label and packaging substrates using various printing technologies and ink types.
