shade card types

Full-Page Fan Decks

Full-page fan decks provide a comprehensive display of paint colors, with each card dedicated to a single color and options for laminated coatings. This layout is widely adopted in both decorative and industrial environments where coatings and materials must align with strict visual requirements, including flooring and wallcoverings.​

 

Striped Fan Decks

Striped fan decks showcase multiple shades on a single page, making comparison easier with custom sizes and die-cut shapes. This practical structure is highly valued by interior designers, color specialists and companies in the textile and plastics industries, where evaluating transitions and undertones is crucial. As experienced color shade card printers, we offer customized layout, sizes and finishing options and protective varnishes for wear resistance.​

 

Color Books

Color books are compact, versatile, and ideal for professionals who need a portable reference tool with embedded color codes. They are commonly used not only in paint and décor, but also in textiles and other material-driven sectors where frequent shade consultation is required. Each color is cataloged with precision to support consistent reproduction.

 

Color Charts and Posters

Our color charts and posters provide large-format displays ideal for showrooms, retail stores and technical presentation rooms, with litho printing for vibrant results. They offer an intuitive overview of available shades and are particularly useful in coatings, flooring and wallcovering sectors. Various finishes and protective laminations are available to ensure durability in high-traffic environments.​
