Yes, and sage in particular is one of the combinations we run most often. The muted shade suits the period profile better than a bright green does, since mid century cartons were produced in natural fiber tones rather than saturated colors.

We match to a Pantone reference or a physical sample as closely as pigmented fiber allows, and we send a formed sample for approval before production. Exact ink matching is not achievable in pulp. If the reference is a competitor’s carton rather than a printed standard, send us the physical carton and we will match against it directly.
