Metal substrates are a primary method for brands to convey identity and brand values. However, two-piece metal packaging is expensive to produce. Not only is it difficult to evaluate color on reflective surfaces like beverage cans, but the high-speed production environment makes print color control a challenge.Color measurement is the fastest, most accurate, and cost-effective way to produce consistent color across processing plants and achieve sustainability initiatives.
Join our industry expert presentation to learn how to achieve accurate color on beverage cans.

Color Measurement for Beverage Can Manufacturers
We also invite you to stop by our table to learn more about color measurement for beverage can makers and see live demos of our solutions.
Featured Hardware Solutions
- Ci64 Sphere Spectrophotometer: Offers simultaneous SPIN/SPEX and correlated gloss to collect reliable spectral data for statistical process control. Using configurable menus, operators can view measurement procedures and data directly from the device for consistency across shifts and facilities.
- Cup and Cylinder Fixture: Has a sample-positioning arm to hold an un-necked beverage can and a bench to position the Ci64 at the correct height and angle for consistent measurements without deformation or distortion.
Featured Software Solutions
- PantoneLIVE: A digital, cloud-based repository that houses all Pantone digital color master and material-dependent standards so beverage can suppliers can retrieve spectral data of achievable target colors. The world’s leading CPG brands use PantoneLIVE to share Pantone colors as well as their own private brand colors.
- Color iQC Software: A configurable, job-based software solution helps operators easily evaluate whether a measured sample is in tolerance of the standard. With Color iQC, brands, suppliers, and manufacturers can define standards, tolerances, settings, and measurement modes and ensure correct color measurement practices between operators and across global locations.
- NetProfiler Software: A cloud-based blend of software and color standards automatically verifies and optimizes device performance to calibrate issues caused by age, wear, or environmental conditions. NetProfiler also identifies instruments in need of service before they result in off-color products and reduces variation between devices from different suppliers.
