Spot Colours
Please specify all spot colours as Pantone references.


Matching Pantone Colours
Because the banners are printed CMYK we cannot match Pantone colours exactly. However, in practice we can get very close to the majority of Pantone colours. In critical situations e.g. matching a corporate colour, we prefer to supply colour proofs for approval. Please allow an extra 2-4 days to process and deliver.

Supply Colour Proofs
The banners are printed on CMYK inkjet machine to achieve the correct colour balance it is essential that we receive accurate colour proofs or swatches to match to. Colour run outs can be provided to check colour balance if critical. Please allow an extra 2-4 days to process and deliver if this is required.
