PMS color

A plain-English definition for print, promo, sign and decoration businesses, and what it means for your quotes and jobs.

What is PMS color?

PMS color refers to a color from the Pantone Matching System, a standardized way to specify brand and print colors.

Why does it matter?

Customer logos often need accurate brand colors. Without a PMS reference, color matching becomes subjective across suppliers and decoration methods.

How does TaggIQ handle it?

TaggIQ keeps artwork and decoration notes attached to the job so PMS references can travel with quotes, proofs, and production instructions.
