Why Bangladesh Factories Need the GP1601A

  1. Buyer Compliance: Most European and US buyers specify color codes using the Pantone Matching System (PMS). Having an original guide prevents costly rejections.

  2. Versatile Application: Essential for logo design, brand marketing, garment accessories (hangtags, labels), and high-quality packaging.

  3. Accuracy: Features the largest gamut in the Pantone Graphics system, ensuring what you see on the deck is what you get on the press.

GP1601A vs. GP1601B: What’s the Difference?

While both serve the same primary function, the GP1601B is the 2023/2024 update that adds 224 new colors (totaling 2,390). However, many factories in Bangladesh still utilize the GP1601A as it covers the vast majority of standard buyer requirements at a more accessible price point.
