  • Can anyone help me match a vinyl from a pantone reference?

    Posted by Liam Pattison on February 4, 2010 at 4:55 pm

    Hi there,

    i have been give the pantone numbers as follows:

    Light blue: 542

    Dark Blue: 5405

    The 5405 is Ral number 5007 going by my chart, can’t find a ral equivalent for pantone 542 though.

    Can anyone help me to match these with a vinyl please? Or as close as possible.

    Many thanks

    Liam Pattison

    Liam,
    Just had a quick look through some Oracle swatches and there is nothing that comes close to either shade

    Thanks everyone for looking. Thanks for pointing out that colour Chris, i agree it’s quite close.

    If i can’t find anything close to the other colour i may have to advise customer it needs to be printed or maybe ask them to pick a vinyl as i’m sure they have more colour charts than me.

    Thanks all for checking.

    Liam,

    There is no vinyl anything like RAL 5007.

    However, it might be your lucky day!!

    I get some specially made in Avery 800 for a particular client, and have quite a bit of 1220 in stock.

    If it might be of help, I would suggest that the best thing would be for me to send you a sample.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for that!

    I might be in contact with you tomorrow to sort things out. I’ve got to speak to the designer about this. And i’ll let you know the outcome.

    Thanks again

    Liam

    OK Liam.

    Why not just pm me your address anyway, and I’ll get a sample in the post tomorrow.

    That way you will have something to show the designer for their decision.
