Involving ColorWorks at the earliest stage of product development can simplify the development process, shorten time-to-market, control costs and feasibility, and manage global color consistency.
Once the framework is established, the development process kicks into high gear, utilizing a comprehensive toolbox of cutting-edge technologies: • Mood boards for conceptualization • Extensive color libraries, both physical and digital • Rapid prototyping and sampling • Photorealistic 3D rendering • Accurate cost and feasibility assessment tools This iterative process allows for quick turnarounds and efficient approvals, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations.
This collaborative design approach has been shown to reduce development times by 50% or more and generate substantial total cost savings.

Working together, we can help you arrive at an optimal solution with speed and accuracy, while helping to lower product development and manufacturing costs.
High strength produces parts with greater stiffness and warp resistance, again minimizing scrap-related costs.
Superior durability reduces breakage and resultant scrap related costs.

If you are debating that decision, however, consider the true costs and the potential impact on your operations.
Avient can help by reducing your inventory complexity and driving out cost to manage.
When you consider the hidden costs and potential distractions associated with in-house plastisol production, it may make sense for you to stay focused on your key priorities—keeping your customers happy and growing your business.

While leather offers a lavish look and feel, the production time and cost seemed excessive compared to slush molding.
Based on industry averages, a leather armrest typically adds $30 to the cost of producing a single door, while the approximate cost of a slush molded vinyl armrest is about $10 per door.
Given industry-specific cost structures for niche vehicle door production, this improvement can be estimated to save the customer approximately $100,000 annually.
