Custom Challenge Coins and Pantone Color Match
What is the Pantone (PMS) Color Match System®?
The Pantone Color Match System® also referred to as PMS Color Match is a proprietary color space that was created in 1963 by its inventor Lawrence Herbert. This Color Match System standardizes colors and assigns each color a unique Pantone number and name that facilitates quick and easy access to your color choices. It is the essential go to tool when starting your custom challenge coins.
Our Team at RespondersPro.com refers to this constantly as it is the professional color matching system that both provides color correctness and standards as well as a high level of accuracy in the identification of colors, quality control and all aspects and specifications in all project applications.
Why is PMS Color Match System® important?
The PMS Color Match System accurately reproduces color and allows our manufacturing and design team to correctly reproduce and control the colors of your Logo, Department and Agency branding colors. RespondersPro.com makes creating your Custom Coins, Lapel Pins and medals easy and straightforward.
Creating & Designing your Custom Challenge Coin Project
Our team at RespondersPro.com loves working and designing with the PMS Color Match System and the harmonies of the Pantone system to create fantastic custom challenge coins, lapel pins, medallions, belt buckles and more. We keep your PMS Color Codes on file to ensure accuracy and repeatability on your repeat and new orders.
Since all colors will appear differently on every screen and monitor we always use the PMS Color Code to indicate colors used. As these colors are standard universally your custom coins, lapel pins, medals, patches and belt buckles will be accurately manufactured by RespondersPro.com.
When designing and creating your unique custom coins, lapel pins, medals and belt buckles with new colors that you have not incorporated into your masterpiece before, we recommend that you refer to a Pantone Color Swatch for accuracy in your color design as they are the best tool available for verifying your color choices. Also ideally you should be using a Color Swatch that is purchased within the past year as the inks printed on the swatch can fade and become yellowish as time passes. Also take note of the type of paper the Color Swatch has been printed on: matte versus coated finish as this can result in slight color variations between editions.
