Spandex introduces ColorBox app

Spandex has created a free app called ColorBox that gives its customers access to digital swatches for thousands of colours from various materials brands, and that has a ‘click to buy’ facility.

The Spandex ColorBox app features all of the brands stocked by the company - including 3M, Avery Dennison, Orafol and ImagePerfect - with products searchable by range, colour, product number, name or application. In addition to the colour swatches collection, the app provides access to product information and technical data sheets, and connects directly to the Spandex online store. It also offers a colour match feature, enabling the user to photograph a colour and use the app to find the closest colour match within Spandex’s range of vinyls. Leon Watson, general manager at Spandex UK, said: “The range of coloured vinyls is expanding continuously and physical swatches quickly become outdated, while the Spandex ColorBox app will be updated monthly to ensure it reflects the very latest product portfolio. Instant access to product specifications will help customers confidently choose media that is fit for purpose, and with ‘click to buy’ access to the Spandex online shop, we’re offering our busy customers unique functionality that will help to minimise the time they spend selecting and buying vinyl products.” The Spandex ColorBox app can be downloaded free from the Apple and Android app stores.
