Can you match my logo's colour?

It is our intention to match as closely as possible to all Pantone numbers/colour swatches. However, as our inks have to comply with certain safety standards, it is not always possible to give a perfect match, especially on units other than white. This may result in a significant colour difference when printing on coloured units, i.e. red on black units, yellow on blue units. Please take this into consideration.

Will I be charged a colour match charge?

Exact colour matches for non-standard Pantone colours are available for an additional $30(G) charge per colour. We offer many Pantone colours as standard, including some additional Pantone colours that match the respective trim or grip colours of certain products.
