color design

Include COLOR DESIGN during the concept stage and throughout your design process to assure that repeatable and accurate color(s) can be achieved in the materials best suited for your design goals while increasing speed-to-market, saving on prototype costs, sampling waste, and increasing color accuracy. 

No matter what the material, your product colors need to be accurate and repeatable. Our expertise comes from producing thousands of custom color masterbatches every year, servicing the wide range of polymers, applications, and industries in the plastics space. Utilizing leading color capabilities, our colorists match to any color exhibit, including paper, fabric, and almost any other sample type. Active in the industry, our color and materials experts understand colorant performance characteristics, in various resins, metamerism, the importance of a brand color to your bottom line, color management, and more. 

We co-create brand new colors, taking a collaborative problem-solving approach for your design to deliver a specific feeling or outcome for your product. We can design any hue and formulate materials to meet your diverse manufacturing needs.
