We Match the Color You Imagine
Whether you need a standard Pantone color or a custom-matched shade, we provide accurate and consistent color solutions for your injection molded parts.
Need Pantone Guidance?
Pantone color cards are crucial for achieving the desired color in customized plastic components. The system provides a standardized color – matching mechanism, enabling manufacturers to accurately match colors across different production batches and ensure consistency.
When designing plastic parts, the Pantone Matching System (PMS) is commonly used to select the precise color tone. Then, master – batch colorants or pigments that match the selected Pantone color tone are used to color the plastic resin, ensuring that the color of the finished product meets the expected specifications regardless of the production time and location
Methods for customizing the color of plastics
- Incorporating carbon powder into plastic raw materials
- Mixing carbon powder with raw materials and extruding
- Masterbatch method
Color Customization in Action
FAQ: Color Customization
Q1: How accurate is your color matching?
A: We use high-precision color matching systems and spectrophotometers. For Pantone-matched colors, we typically maintain a ΔE (color difference) of less than 0.5.
Q2: Can I send you a physical sample for color matching?
A: Absolutely. We accept plastic parts, fabric swatches, packaging, or any color reference. We'll match it and provide a sample for your confirmation.
Q3: Do I need to pay extra for custom colors?
A: For large orders, color matching is usually free. For small batches, we may charge a one-time color match fee or require a minimum order quantity for the masterbatch.
Q4: What if the sample color doesn't match my expectations?
A: We only proceed to production after you approve the matched color sample. If you're not satisfied, we revise it for free.
Q5: Which materials can be color-matched?
A: Most thermoplastics can be color-customized, including ABS, PP, PC, PS, PA, TPU, and more.
Q6: Do custom colors affect the lead time?
A: Slightly. Standard Pantone matches take 2–3 extra days. Custom sample matching may take 3–5 days depending on complexity.
Q7: Are your colorants eco-friendly?
A: Yes. We use RoHS and REACH-compliant masterbatches and can provide certification if
