The use of color measurement in the beverage can making industry has been commonplace for many years. However, industry adoption and standard practice of color measurement is lower than in other packaging sectors. 

Color Measurement & Tolerancing for Two-Piece Metal Packaging

Color measurement is set to play an integral part in the ongoing development of the beverage can industry. Using digital data for color standards not only enables more consistent, more accurate production, but is also the key to faster design and print times and more efficient color communication. 

Written by Sun Chemical and X-Rite Pantone Color Experts, this whitepaper explains how to appropriately use color measurement, including proper procedures and techniques to capture and evaluate color data on beverage cans.

You Will Learn:

  • How manufacturing variabilities can lead to color issues
  • Why visual evaluation alone is inadequate for this industry
  • The most common issues encountered when using color measurement instruments
  • The differences between specular included vs. specular excluded measurement data and which to use
  • How to choose the correct tolerancing method to harmonize the acceptance of color, both visually and digitally
