Why Colors May Differ Between Batches?
Cork is a natural material, and slight color differences between batches are normal and expected. Unlike synthetic materials, cork is not produced under fully controlled conditions, which means each production run may vary slightly in appearance.
What causes color differences?
Several factors can influence the final color of cork fabric:
Natural variation in cork bark (tree age, growth conditions, harvest cycle)
Differences in raw material selection between batches
Environmental factors such as sunlight and moisture exposure
Production processes, including cutting, pressing, and finishing
What does this mean in practice?
The overall look and quality remain consistent
However, slight differences in tone (lighter/darker) may occur
Variations can exist even within the same roll, especially with natural cork patterns
Is this a defect?
No — these differences are not defects. They are part of the natural character of cork and are one of the reasons each product is unique.
Recommendations for production
If your project requires a consistent visual result:
We recommend ordering sufficient quantity from the same batch
Avoid mixing materials from different orders when exact color matching is critical
Consider reviewing samples before placing large orders
Color variation is a natural feature of cork and does not affect its performance, durability, or usability.
