PANTONE PLUS Plastic Standard Chips Collection

With the PANTONE PLUS Plastic Standard Chips Collection, designers working in plastic can, for the first time, obtain a complete set of all 1,755 colors of the PANTONE Plus series as plastic standards.

The PANTONE PLUS Plastic Standard Chips Collection is arranged in three rotating carousels so that colors can be easily found and chips replaced. The collection contains one large format polypropylene chip (76.2 x 47.6 mm) for each color in the system. These plastic standards enable precise color specification and matching, providing maximum creativity and control when developing plastic products such as toys, consumer electronics, home furnishings, appliances, accessories and more.

This collection offers designers a wide selection of high-demand colors and also offers the ability to cross-match plastic designs with PANTONE colors for graphics and packaging. Each of the six tiers in the carousel is modular, so the desired compartment can be easily removed to work with a specific color grouping.

Remove the limitations of your design process by enabling precise color communication and control of color in plastics throughout the color development process. The polypropylene chip material is closely aligned to common, real-world production materials. This ensures accurate color reproduction in your product on many plastic substrates. The included pigment formulation combined with the engineered chip provide the most accurate standard combination.
