Techtextile 2025 May 6 - 8, 2025

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.

Visit X-Rite Pantone at Techtextile

At Techtextile 2025, we will be showcasing our industry-leading textile color measurement solutions for all aspects of the workflow – design, formulation, production, and quality control – on a variety of textile applications. Our color specialists will be available to demo key features that will help you:

• Communicate color specifications along with tolerances and illuminant requirements and digitally approve lab dips to reduce the approval cycle from weeks to days.
• Formulate dyes using software that yields better matches in fewer steps and with fewer corrections and work off wasted material during color formulation.
• Measure color on a moving fabric production line using inline color measurement instruments that minimize waste and improve color quality throughout production.
• Measure materials using benchtop and portable color measurement spectrophotometers for textiles that capture color on transparent, translucent, reflective, textured, and optically-brightened surfaces and materials.

With our digital color solutions, you can achieve more accurate color, shorten time to market, reduce waste and rework, and build a more sustainable process.
