PMS Color Cards

Pantone (PMS) color-matched cards for exact brand color reproduction across your cards, key tags and mailers.

Custom PMS Color Plastic Cards deliver precise, brand-accurate colour reproduction that standard CMYK printing cannot match. Using Pantone (PMS) spot-colour inks, these cards reproduce your exact brand colour — from vivid reds to subtle pastels — with outstanding consistency across every batch. Made of durable, waterproof PVC, PMS cards are ideal for membership cards, loyalty programs, gift cards, VIP passes and brand promotions where colour identity matters. We support full customisation: logo, text, serial numbering, barcode, magnetic stripe and optional NFC chip. Standard CR80 size with glossy or matte finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are PMS color cards?

PMS (Pantone Matching System) color cards are printed with pre-mixed spot-colour inks matched to a specific Pantone code, delivering exact, consistent brand colour on every card.

Why choose PMS spot colour over standard CMYK?

CMYK mixes four inks and can shift between batches; PMS uses a fixed formula so your brand colour stays identical across reorders and large runs.

Can I match my exact brand Pantone code?

Yes. Provide your Pantone (PMS) number and we print to that reference, with a physical proof available for approval.

Can PMS cards combine spot colour with full-colour printing?

Absolutely. We can print your brand colour as a spot ink and add CMYK areas for photos or gradients on the same card.

Are PMS color cards durable?

Yes. The PVC base is waterproof and scratch-resistant; a protective coating keeps the colour vibrant and fade-free.

Can I order samples before a large run?

Yes. Physical samples with your PMS colour are available so you can verify the exact shade before mass production.
