Matching Color on Health & Beauty Packaging from Design to Print to Shelf
Brand and cosmetic color must be consistent on all packaging types to portray product value and instill brand trust. While innovation is introducing unique packaging types to help cosmetic brands differentiate themselves, it is also making it more difficult to maintain color accuracy. To stay competitive, ensure brand integrity, and eliminate expensive waste, packaging printers must be able to achieve accurate color across a variety of cosmetic packaging materials.
A color control program can help establish achievable color print specifications and remove subjectivity in packaging, even across different inks and packaging materials. X-Rite Pantone’s end-to-end color measurement, management, and control solutions remove subjectivity throughout file preparation, proofing, and production for faster time to market and fewer quality control issues.
