Please refer to attached Pantone color swatches for actual print colors to be used. Because the colors will be printed on a clear cup surface, the natural contrast in the background necessary to highlight the colors’ vibrancy will be absent. This may result in the colors having a slightly more subdued appearance on the final cup print than appears on the Pantone swatches. The proof material approximates the clarity of the cup.
