Pressision Process Codes
Each Pressision process has its own unique reference code, creating a simple common language between inspiration, design and production.
Use the codes alongside our physical process swatches to explore techniques, understand what’s possible and reference the processes you want to use within your project.
Our physical process swatches are currently in production and will be available to order soon via the website.
