CARLSTADT, N.J., May 1, 2018 – Pantone, provider of professional color management services and tools, expands its offering of On-Demand Prints with the introduction of Super Chips and Super Swatches to the Pantone Graphics System. Designed to enable better color communication and evaluation, new Pantone Super Chips and Super Swatches offer graphic, print and packaging designers customizable color references for Pantone Matching System® (PMS) colors in larger formats. Designers can use Pantone Super Chips and Swatches to develop specific palettes for a project and more easily evaluate, present, and communicate color to stakeholders and throughout the supply chain.
“We understand that designers can become frustrated by smaller chips and swatches that aren’t suitable for layering, incorporating into mood boards, evaluating color next to larger project samples, or as leave-behinds,” said Adrián Fernández, Vice President and General Manager of Pantone. “These customizable formats of the traditional Pantone chip are ideal solutions for the interactive workflow process and fit seamlessly into the Pantone Graphics System product suite, alongside the essential Formula Guide and Chip Books.”
Pantone Super Chips and Super Swatches are available for any of 1,853 PMS colors and are produced by Pantone color technicians at the lowest Delta-E variances for strict color accuracy. Both formats offer ample space for easy color, contrast, and light effect evaluation and are ideal for rush projects as they ship within 24-48 hours. Additional product specifications include:
Pantone Super Chips:
- One-sided 8.5” x 11” sheet with up to six different PMS colors (2.5” x 3 7/8”)

- Customizable to include and arrange up to six colors on the same sheet as desired
