Specialty-packaging manufacturer AGI-Shorewood has announced that its Toronto site is the first packaging solutions printing facility worldwide to earn Pantone Certified Printer status. Pantone LLC is regarded as the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries. It introduced the Pantone Certified Printer Program last year to ensure that participating offset printers meet the company’s stringent color consistency and quality standards. The patent-pending program annually audits, inspects, analyzes, and qualifies the operations from intake and ink mixing to print production and customer handling, helping to ensure that designers, brand managers, and print buyers enjoy accurate print color reproduction, consistent and reliable results, greater confidence in choosing the right print provider, and timely and professional service.
