The Prym No-Sew Color-Coding System
Prym has developed the non-sew colour-coding system to simplify the use of non-sew products. Colour-coded tool sets make it easier to match the consumables from the non-sew range. The consumables are gradually being supplemented with the corresponding colour marking. Each colour represents a specific application group - for example, orange stands for anoraks or blue for rivets.
Prym's tool sets include engraved processing tools and optional punching tools for a wide range of applications. Specially developed for the VARIO Creative Tool, they are also compatible with the VARIO pliers and the tripod.
