In a world where consumers are bombarded by advertising messages, promotional products stand alone. A print ad, an internet pop-up, a television ad or a radio spot all interrupt and distract consumers. But a promotional product engages and is welcomed by the consumer and then integrated into their lifestyle. In fact, it’s the only marketing medium that the consumer says thank you for.

Pantone PMS colours are a universal colour identification standard. All screen printers have Pantone PMS books like this, and when you tell us that its PMS 485, we know exactly what shade of red you mean.
Check out Pantone’s Wikipedia for more information about the system.
CMYK is a way of printing many colours using 4 primary colours.
It stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key. CMYK inks are applied in set patterns of tiny dots that appear to create a solid colour when printed – similar to the pixels on a digital image. Layers of these dots in different amounts of ink can create any shade or colour.
We use CMYK to print Supacolour and to print Digital Transfers.
Exact colour matches can be problematic as you must work out what the combination of the 4 colours will make up the exact PMS, and some colours like bright oranges, deep blues and intense greens can be difficult to achieve. More information here on Wikipedia.
