About Us

Chris James is a world leader in film coating technology. Our seven-acre UK manufacturing plant uses purpose-built coating machinery to produce several million square metres of colour filter a year. Quality control procedures include a colour management system that ensures consistent colour production. Our team of highly qualified chemists rigorously test each filter before and after the film is coated. After thorough testing, each colour filter is accompanied by a spectro-photometric curve and a colour space analysis to make sure it will perform as expected when placed on a light source.
