Spectra Packaging’s colour matching service offers brands a powerful way to enhance shelf appeal while supporting sustainability goals. With a rich heritage in plastic colouring technology, Spectra collaborates closely with trusted masterbatch suppliers to deliver precise colour matches from a wide variety of sources, including Pantone references and physical samples .

Beyond exact colour replication, Spectra provides expert guidance on pigments and masterbatch integration during the moulding process, ensuring optimal results. Their extensive range of colour effects includes finishes like frosting, pearlescent, and natural speckled looks that emulate materials such as card or stone, giving packaging a distinctive edge.

Addressing environmental concerns, Spectra offers carbon-free masterbatch solutions, particularly beneficial for black plastics. Traditional black plastics can be challenging to recycle due to their carbon content, which hinders detection by infra-red sorting systems. Spectra's carbon-free alternatives enable these items to be more easily sorted during recycling, reducing the likelihood of incineration or landfill disposal.

All colour matching processes are conducted in-house, granting Spectra full control over quality and delivery timelines. This integrated approach ensures that brands receive packaging solutions that are both visually compelling and environmentally responsible.
