PMS color matching

Pantone Matching System (PMS) is a standard color system that many printers and packaging experts use to identify and match colors in logos and designs. There are approximately 5,000 colors in the Pantone system, each assigned a name or PMS code number.

That way, your custom packaging tape blends seamlessly with the rest of your collateral and packaging materials. 

To specify a PMS color that you want us to use in your design, click the white “Pantone” box under “Select Ink Colors” when placing your order, and enter the custom PMS number.
