GMG and Sun Chemical Announce Partnership

While the global packaging market continues to grow, brand owners and their supply chains are seeking more efficient approaches to communicating real, accurate, spot-color information within the value chain. Contract proofs are the preferred method to convey process-color information, but often the spot-color results refer to an attached chip or drawdown. With the newly announced partnership, there is a significant opportunity to rely upon a fully-digital spot-color workflow. As the product life cycle of consumer goods, for example, has become much shorter in recent years, new products are being developed and brought to market at a rapid rate. This in turn results in great time pressures for those involved in packaging design. Digitizing spot color management will noticeably shorten the approval procedure with brand owners and the response times of suppliers.
