Color can help differentiate your product from the competition on a retail shelf, dazzle your customers with a variety of unique choices, or even add an element of safety to your design.
One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%.
However, price per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost.
