Although color matters in many industries, plastics manufacturers face unique obstacles when it comes to maintaining color quality. Variability in raw materials and processing conditions make it difficult to ensure consistency from one batch to the next, especially when multiple masterbatchers or production locations are involved. In addition, getting the right formulation often means balancing color against competing demands such as strength, flexibility, chemical and thermal resistance, permeability, UV protection and other properties.
Digital color management can help reduce much of this uncertainty while simplifying or eliminating hurdles common to other types of manufacturing. From formulation to quality control (QC) of finished products, there are tools to help you achieve greater control over color accuracy, reduce waste, eliminate errors, and ease communication across your supply chain.
