PI Apparel Supply Chain Forum November 18 - 19, 2024
The traditional textile workflow is burdened with subjectivity, waste, and delays. Simply approving color can take anywhere from a few days to many weeks, plus shipping, which slows time to market and increases the carbon footprint of the textile industry.

To remain competitive and meet sustainability initiatives, apparel, footwear, and soft good brands must communicate color in a way that enables suppliers to quickly and easily match design intent.
X-Rite’s digital color ecosystem for textiles empowers brands to increase compliance, control, and consistency with objective color specification, resulting in faster time to market. For suppliers, digital color provides concrete data for formulation to achieve the color quickly and confidently submit the best digital match for approval with less waste and rework for any (including custom) brand color.
