Pantone codes are the closest recommended matches. Always confirm against a physical Pantone guide and an approved proof before a full run.
Scarves & ribbons
- Send the mill a physical color swatch — silk takes ink differently than paper.
- Use Pantone fabric codes (TCX) for textiles, not the paper (C) codes.
- Always approve a strike-off (a printed test piece) before production.
- Supply artwork at true size and 300 DPI — Ribbon 34" × 2", never stretched to fit.
- Match school colors to the school's own licensed palette; b.Honey gold is for our marks, labels and packaging.
Business cards
- Standard size is 3.5" × 2" plus a 0.125" bleed on every side.
- Keep text at least 0.125" inside the trim line.
- Choose rounded corners and a matte stock at checkout — they're print finishes.
- For the gold back, ask for Pantone 7562 C ink or gold foil instead of a CMYK gold.
- Use 100% black (K100) for small text; rich black only for large solid areas.
- Scan every QR code on the printed proof before approving the full run.
