Inaccurate color keeps discount stores in business and slows down production lines. Two pieces of a car’s dashboard that don’t match. The computer accessory whose color doesn’t align with the laptop line. The toy parts that don’t look right at final assembly. Or a packaging container that seems slightly off from the rest of those on the shelf?
These are just a few examples. While quality control issues might be good for discounters—who can buy these faulty products at a fraction of the cost—they are bad for brands and manufacturers, who don’t need the lost sales, extra costs and delays. From color specification through manufacturing to final quality control, color must stay true. And if it does stray, you must catch the issue early so adjustments can be made before it is too late.
