The background color is light grey or silver depending on the material of the cans and boxes. Three different colours help to distinguish between power coatings, water-based coatings and oil coatings. The brand name always follows the shape of the packaging. All relevant information about the coatings are on the top of the packagings. This design is very unique for the Chinese market and expresses the high quality of the coatings.
