"PantoneLIVE is an efficient, effective and seamless technology that saves time and money, and helps ensure design intent makes it to shelf, whether we are creating a new Charmin package design, proofing an Olay label, mixing ink for Tide packaging or assessing the quality of Gillette packaging on press," said Phil Duncan, global design officer at P&G. "PantoneLIVE is an excellent solution for simplifying how we access digital color palettes for design, proofing and print. When fully implemented, the productivity benefits will be significant – both internally for P&G and for our suppliers."
To facilitate color standardization across all materials in the production process, P&G now has the ability to upload proprietary color palettes onto PantoneLIVE's secure, cloud-based portal, which suppliers can instantly access from around the world. This centralized color communication process helps minimize color revisions and reduce approval times, creating go-to-market efficiencies and, ultimately, lower development costs.
