Labels · Packaging buyer’s guide
Consistent label color starts with a reference everyone can identify. An old photograph, a screen image, and an approved printed sample may show different versions of the same brand color.
The short answer
Use a named approved reference and record the stock and finish associated with it. A monitor image does not capture all the effects of substrate, lighting, and decoration. Review changes to those conditions before reusing an earlier color approval.
What to review before approving production
Identify the reference for approval and record the material and finish used with it. Review how the label looks on the finished product under agreed viewing conditions. When changing stocks or finishes, request a new comparison rather than assuming the old result will transfer unchanged.
