Newell Brands Office Products Writing Instruments is committed to providing safe products which comply with all applicable laws, rules, restrictions that may apply to them.

It is our intention to match as closely as possible to all Pantone numbers/color swatches. However, as our inks have to comply with certain safety standards, it is not always possible to give a perfect match, especially on units other than white. This may result in a significant color difference when printing on colored units, i.e. red on black units, yellow on blue units. Please take this into consideration.

Exact color matches for non-standard Pantone colors are available for an additional $30(G) charge per color. We offer many Pantone colors as standard, including some additional Pantone colors that match the respective trim or grip colors of certain products.
