Formula Guide – Coated & Uncoated | Professional PMS Color Matching System for Print, Packaging & Graphic Design | GP1601B

Recently added the Pantone Formula Guide to my workspace, and it’s a solid investment for any designer or print professional. Having two separate books for Coated and Uncoated stocks makes color selection much more practical and efficient, especially when working across different print finishes. With 2,390 total colors, the range is extensive and gives great confidence when matching and specifying colors accurately. The print quality and color consistency are excellent, reflecting Pantone’s industry standards. The guides feel durable and well-made, clearly designed for regular professional use. The packaging is also well thought out, keeping the guides protected and organized. Overall, this is a high-quality, reliable tool that truly supports precise color decision-making in design and print workflows. A must-have for serious creatives and studios. “I bought this for a friend from Sri Lanka and this is his review of the product.”

As a small artist, having the Pantone colors was an eventual purchase. It was definitely worth it! My chosen colors matched what my manufacturer sent over to me perfectly, it let me have peace of mind that the colors would be exactly how I wanted them to be. If you’re a small artist hesitating on this but are about to spend some serious capital on enamel pin projects - definitely get yourself one of these so your colors can be accurate!

Arrived fast, well packaged, and in perfect shape!

Needed these for my job! Did not disappoint!

Great product! Indispensable

It offers an extensive range of precisely defined shades, making it easy to select and communicate exact colors across different projects. The fan-like design is compact and easy to carry, with colors organized for quick reference. Each swatch provides essential details, including codes and undertones, ensuring accuracy in print and digital work.

Obviously a must have for the creative graphic design who works on print and packaging projects. The books are great, HOWEVER having to purchase an additional license to use them in the adobe suite is NOT. These books should come with AT LEAST a 1 year license so you can use them in actual projects and not just reference the book.

Great product as described. Perfect for finding the perfect color for print work.

Pantone books are expensive us designers all know this - with the problem of now pantone charging to use the swatches in adobe this is causing designers all across the world to pull their hair out as an added cost to what they pay for adobe software. My issue with these books is that they are not matching properly so they look shades different. Making it really hard to choose colours using this book. I am at a loss of what to do. Is anyone else having this issue with these books?

Cher mais c'est la référence ultime. Cela m'a servi de base visuelle pour choisir la couleur des murs de mes pièces (même si à la base ce référentiel est plus destiné au graphisme)

Es lo quexesperaba

Llegó en buen estado.

Perfetto, come da descrizione.
