PANTONE Solid Chips Supplement Coated & Uncoated | 224 New Spot Colour Chips
Pantone Solid Chips Supplement with 224 new removable coated and uncoated Spot Colour Chips for specification, sharing and approval.
The PANTONE SOLID CHIPS SUPPLEMENT | COATED & UNCOATED is a professional update set for designers, brand teams, printers and production specialists who want to expand their existing Pantone Solid Chips Books with the newest Pantone Graphics colours. Featuring 224 new trend-driven Pantone Spot Color Chips on coated and uncoated paper, it brings fresh colour options into physical design, specification and approval workflows.
This supplement is designed specifically for use with existing Pantone Solid Chips Books. Instead of replacing the full chip book set, teams can insert the new pages directly into their current system and continue working with a consistent physical Pantone reference. This makes it a practical solution for studios, agencies and production departments that need the latest colours but already own a recent Solid Chips edition.
The 224 new Pantone colours were developed to expand creative range and support more nuanced palette development. The selection responds to current market demand for more expressive, bold and optimistic colours, including vivid purples, citrus yellows and other saturated shades suited to maximalist design directions. For branding, packaging and visual communication, these new colours create more room for distinctive identity systems, seasonal updates and attention-grabbing print concepts.
Each page provides seven Pantone Colours, and each colour includes six individual removable chips measuring 1.2 × 0.8 inches, or approximately 3 × 2 cm. The perforated format allows chips to be removed cleanly, shared with clients, attached to artwork, included in production folders or sent to printers and suppliers as physical colour references.
This removable chip format is one of the main advantages of the Solid Chips system. Colour decisions rarely stay in one place. They move between design teams, brand owners, print suppliers, packaging converters, production managers and approval stakeholders. Physical chips help make those decisions clearer and reduce the ambiguity that can arise from screen colour, office printouts or verbal descriptions.
The supplement includes both coated and uncoated versions of the new colours. This is essential for professional print work because paper surface has a major effect on colour appearance. A Pantone colour can look more vibrant on coated stock and softer or more absorbent on uncoated paper. By including both surfaces, the supplement supports better decisions for packaging, stationery, editorial design, marketing materials, labels and corporate print systems.
The pages are printed on commonly used paper stocks: 100 lb / 148 gsm coated paper and 80 lb / 118 gsm uncoated paper. These stock weights provide a practical reference for many commercial print applications and help teams evaluate colour in relation to real production conditions.
The colours are arranged chromatically, making it easier to browse related shades, compare new colours with neighbouring tones and build coherent palettes. Each colour is displayed with its corresponding Pantone number, supporting precise colour identification and clear specification. For international teams, this numeric system is essential because it gives designers, clients and printers a shared language for colour communication.
The removable chips have three-sided colour bleed, making them especially useful when comparing and evaluating colour combinations. Without a heavy white border around the chip, colours can be placed next to one another more effectively. This supports palette building, mood boards, packaging concepts, product sketches and brand colour systems where direct colour-to-colour comparison is important.
For branding and corporate identity, the Solid Chips Supplement helps teams introduce new Pantone Spot Colours into logos, identity systems, campaigns and printed brand materials. It is particularly useful when a brand needs a fresh accent colour, a more expressive palette or a new seasonal direction while still relying on Pantone’s established print colour language.
For packaging design, the supplement supports colour evaluation from concept to production. Packaging often requires strong shelf impact, consistent colour reproduction and precise stakeholder approval. Removable chips can travel with artwork, packaging mock-ups and supplier instructions, helping printers and converters understand the intended spot colour more clearly.
For product development and creative direction, the supplement is valuable during early ideation, colour story building and range planning. Chips can be grouped, rearranged and combined with material samples, sketches, mock-ups and presentation boards. This makes the supplement useful not only for print production, but also for visualising how colour supports a broader product or brand concept.
For graphic design and marketing, the chips help specify colours for brochures, catalogues, campaigns, event materials, displays, direct mail, promotional print and premium communications. They create a physical reference point that supports conversations between designers, marketing teams, clients and printers.
For print manufacturing, the supplement supports clearer communication before proofing and press checks. Physical Pantone chips can be transported to press checks, included in job folders or used during colour review meetings. They do not replace proper press control, but they give production teams a more reliable target than digital previews alone.
For digital design teams, the supplement is still useful because many brand systems must work across print and screen. A physical Pantone chip can define the intended print colour first, while digital values are managed separately for web, interface, motion or presentation use. This helps maintain a stronger relationship between printed brand colour and digital design execution.
The PANTONE Solid Chips Supplement is a focused update tool, not the complete Solid Chips Book set. It is ideal for users who already own compatible Pantone Solid Chips Books and need to add the newest 224 colours. Teams needing the full current Pantone Graphics chip library should consider the complete Solid Chips Books instead.
For professional colour communication, this supplement offers a compact, efficient and production-relevant way to keep existing Pantone Solid Chips Books current. It supports inspiration, palette development, colour specification, client approval, supplier communication and quality-focused print workflows with removable physical Pantone Spot Color Chips.
