Changing the Game for artificial grass

ColorPoint Sports

ColorPoint Sports marks a transformational point in the history of artificial grass production. The technological leap forward that ColorPoint brought to tufted carpet, ColorPoint Sports is now bringing to turf.

More details about ColorPoint Sports

CMC’s patented ColorPoint Sports technology is a groundbreaking advancement in artificial grass manufacturing, developed over many years to transform turf design, installation, and performance. Here’s what makes it a game-changer for sports fields and more:

  • Full-Color Customization & Design Freedom:
    Unlike traditional methods requiring separate rolls of colored turf to be cut, glued, and assembled over days, ColorPoint Sports enables seamless, multi-color tufting in a single pass. This means complex logos, gradients, patterns, and backgrounds can be directly tufted into the turf, enabling truly customized, vibrant field designs that were previously impossible or impractical.
  • Up to 6 Colors:
    Create rich, multi-colored fields with up to six colors. Use various shades of green for natural-looking patterns and effects or vibrant accent colors for logos, advertisements, and unique branding.
  • Dramatic Reduction in Production Time and Waste:
    Production time for complex designs, is cut from multiple days to under an hour. This also reduces labor, inventory needs, and material waste, offering major cost and operational efficiencies.
  • Enhanced Durability & Stability:
    Perfect for high-impact sports like football, baseball, and soccer, ColorPoint Sports turf maintains integrity even in the most heavily used areas of the field. The tufting patterns and logos directly into the turf reduces seams and errors inherent in traditional cut-and-glue methods.
  • Increased Flexibility for Multi-Purpose Venues:
    With the ability to tuft logos and designs directly into turf, stadiums can easily switch branding for multiple teams or events. Fields can feature interchangeable logos or advertisements sewn in with precision, enhancing usability and boosting profitability.

ColorPoint Sports technology provides a leap forward in design aesthetics, cost savings, ease of installation, and creativity—offering your customers the most vibrant, flexible, and durable artificial turf solutions on the market.
