Pantone products to match your brand and style..

It’s a well known fact that colours have meaning. It's why many businesses go to great lengths when working with creative professionals to choose their corporate branding. They spend a lot of time considering colour to ensure their company colours match the values and goals they wish to portray.

At Pellacraft we are passionate about ensuring we are up to date with changing trends and the emergence of new products and print methods. We want to ensure our customers always have a wide range of business gifts and promotional merchandise that provide a wide choice of colour options as possible.

In fact, we have recently started to source and add many more items that can be coloured matched to your required Pantone reference, helping you to secure brand consistency and recognition. So, if you need a promotional gift in an exact colour, it's worth asking if we can supply it Pantone matched.

Pantone Colour of 2019

As you would expect, designers are very passionate about colour and keen to be at the forefront of emerging trends and a driving force behind colour innovation. So much so, that each year, experts from the Pantone Colour Institute comb the world looking for new colour influences and carry out a process of thoughtful consideration and trend analysis to arrive at the Pantone colour that will be selected as the Pantone colour of the year.

For 20 years, Pantone’s Colour of the Year has influenced product development and purchasing decisions in multiple industries, including fashion, home furnishings, and industrial design, as well as product, packaging and graphic design.

The chosen colour for 2019 is PANTONE 16-1546 Living Coral, chosen because the colour emits the desired, familiar and energising aspects of colour found in nature. PANTONE Living Coral is evocative of how coral reefs provide shelter to a diverse kaleidoscope of colour.
