Custom Made Packaging provides three color modes for your packaging i.e., Pantone, RGB or CMYK. These color models play a significant role in giving a new outlook to your packaging. If you want to increase your sales and want to make your packaging appearance more vibrant then you have to carefully choose between these three-color modes. If you are still confused about choosing which color model, we have got you covered and this blog will help you out in choosing the best color model for your packaging or you can also reach to our support team for more assistance.Â
RGB stands for Red Green Blue and they are the primary colors of white light. The RGB color mode is an additive color model. In a nutshell, this means that the more red, blue, and green light you combine, the closer you are to white. Computer monitors, television screens, digital cameras, and digital scanners all use the RGB color mode.
Every digital screen is made up of small units called pixels. So, when you’re watching TV or looking at something online, you’re looking at thousands of little pixels with different values to convey color. Each pixel has a different value for red, green, and blue light. The mixing of these three colors in pure intensity will create white color. Saturation, vibrancy, and shading are easily controlled by the designers.
At the most basic level RGB color mode is used primarily for digital communications like television or websites. CMYK is used for print pieces like brochures and business cards. RGB stands for the three primary colors, Red, Green and Blue. Mostly packaging here in Custom Made Packaging are done with CMYK colors but if customers want then the same color scheme can be provided with CMYK methods.Â
In addition to being the default mode for new Photoshop images, the RGB model is used by computer monitors to display colors. This means that when working in color modes other than RGB, such as CMYK, Photoshop converts the CMYK image to RGB for display on screen.
CMYK color stands for cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K for “key”), and is the color mode used by commercial printing equipment to create full-color graphics and images. The printing process involves combining varying amounts of the different color inks to produce a full spectrum of color. The “K” representing black, for “key”, refers to the printing plates being keyed, or aligned, to the black printing plate. CMYK color is also called process color, or four-color process.Â
CMYK printing is the standard in the industry. The reason printing uses CMYK comes down to an explanation of the colors themselves. CMY will cover most lighter color ranges quite easily, compared to using RGB. However, CMY by itself can’t create very deep dark colors like “true black,” so black (designated “K” for “key color”) is added. This gives CMY a much wider range of colors compared to just RGB that’s why Custom Made Packaging always prefers to have this type of printing method.
Pantone is a company that specializes in products that accommodate color matching, called the Pantone Matching System, or PMS for short. Is there a specific shade of orange or blue that is included in your logo? For consistency, you want to make sure your brand colors are the same on every marketing project, so selecting a PMS color for those hues is important. Pantone sells swatch books with formulas for color so that every printer around the world can match their ink to a Pantone color. Pantone colors are also referred to as spot colors.
To create an image using CMYK colors, printers define four separate printing plates that combine together in dot patterns to make up a full image. One plate is used for each of the four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) and is designed to lay down a very specific amount of pigment on the image. While this may sound like a simple way to print, it has worked effectively for hundreds of years.
PMS colors are slightly different than CMYK colors because they are mixed before they are applied to a plate surface. The pure spot color, or PMS color, is a mixed ink that allows for a wider range of reproduced colors than the CMYK spectrum. PMS inks are not laid in a dot pattern but can be screened in a halftone to produce a variety of shades.
Pantone, CMYK, and RGB pertain to three distinct varieties of color standards commonly used in both online design and printing industries. While it can be challenging at the outset, it’s wise to learn at least the basics, especially if you’re in charge of your company’s marketing strategies. Speak with printing personnel and graphic or web designers if you’re unsure about the best way to use these color models. Here are the primary takeaways to keep in mind:Â
   1. RGB incorporates light to combine colors on PC monitors for digital viewing.
Â
2. CMYK works with ink to combine colors on sheets of paper or other tangible things.
3. Steer clear of the RGB model for printed projects since PC monitor settings are different with the real shades we see. The colors on your PC are more vivid than on print.
4. Look for a Pantone color that most closely fits your company’s signature colors, so you don’t have to settle for having 50 shades of blue (or any color) for your printed projects.
To create a captivating brand color for your company, you need to: one, understand how these color models work; and two, collaborate with a reputable service provider that produces the right, consistent, color you need across the board. Smart color management results in improvements and innovations in process control, which reduces production time – and consequently boost the net profit of any business regardless of its size.Â
Your business competitors are seeking to power up client satisfaction, decrease production time and waste, and minimize business economics. Deciding on the best color path, the right resources, and the right provider helps your company attain a more colorful marketing strategy.
