Bespoke Spot Colours

Custom formulated inks for unique colour creation and precise brand reproduction.

Bespoke spot colours allow custom ink formulations to be created beyond standard Pantone references.

By carefully combining specialist inks, unique colours can be developed to achieve specific visual effects, brand requirements and packaging applications.

At Pressision, we work with specialist ink suppliers to develop custom spot colours for luxury print and packaging, delivering exceptional consistency and colours that cannot always be achieved using standard process printing or off the shelf colour libraries.

What are Bespoke Spot Colours?

Bespoke spot colours are custom formulated inks created specifically for a project.

Unlike standard Pantone colours, these inks are developed by combining specialist formulations to create unique colours that may not exist within recognised colour libraries.

Printed using a dedicated press unit, bespoke spot colours provide exceptional consistency and allow brands to create colours that are truly unique to their products, packaging and printed materials.

Proven in Production

We recently developed a bespoke fluorescent green. The resulting colour sat outside the standard Pantone library, creating a unique fluorescent chartreuse tone developed specifically for the project. This demonstrates the flexibility of custom ink formulation and the ability to create colours that cannot be specified using standard references alone.
