For metallised packaging, precise and consistent colour is essential. The Ci64, X-Rite’s most advanced handheld sphere spectrophotometer, offers unmatched accuracy with features like simultaneous SPIN/SPEX, correlated gloss, and a UV option for measuring uneven surfaces.

Available with switchable apertures to measure a variety of samples, this innovative spectrophotometer can also evaluate optical brightening agents via the UV model.
Many beverage brands choose metal can packaging because it protects their products, extends shelf life, and can be recycled repeatedly. However, the reflective properties of two-piece metal packaging can make controlling colour a challenge for metal packaging manufacturers. If packaging colour is not consistent on the shelf, shoppers may question product quality and reach for another brand, jeopardising brand integrity.
Implementing colour measurement for tin can packaging is the fastest, most accurate and cost-effective way to achieve original design intent and produce accurate colour across processing plants.
