Colour usage
For optimal colour usage in offset printing, we recommend using CMYK process colours. These colours are specifically designed for offset printing and offer a wide range of vibrant and accurate hues. By using CMYK process colours, you can achieve premium results while maintaining cost-effectiveness in your offset printing projects.
PMS (Pantone) colours
We recommended to use PMS-C (Pantone Matching System - Coated) colors. The "C" designation indicates that the colors are specifically formulated for coated materials. PMS-C colors create a bold and vibrant effect on top of the paper, particularly suitable for premium packaging. By utilising PMS-C colors in offset printing, brands can achieve exceptional color vibrancy and produce premium results.
Colour recommendations?
In offset printing, you have the freedom to use any colors, whether they are CMYK or PMS-C. Both colour systems are suitable for achieving a wide range of hues and tones. However, it's important to note that PMS colours may involve an additional charge due to their custom nature. These charges account for the specific mixing and preparation required for each unique PMS color.
Special finishes
Offset printing offers a wide range of special finishes to enhance your packaging. Depending on your requirements, you can take advantage of options such as embossing, debossing, spot gloss, metallic ink, foiling, and even taping. While these finishes add a touch of elegance and visual appeal to your final product, please note that they are only economical at volume, or for very high-value products.
