Correct answer btride

You suggest that I will create the pantone color,

And with your explanation it looks easy.

But would it be correct?

If you want the color quickly:

Go to the Pantone site and search for the color you want:

https://www.pantone.com/color-finder

Take notes of the RGB / CMYK color values

In Illustrator create a New Swatch color.

Give it the exact Pantone color name.

Select Color Type > Spot Color

Enter the values in the Color mode you need and click OK.

How will it be printed?

If it's printed as a spot color, then it doesn't even matter. You create the artwork, set up a spot color, give it a name and whatever color definition you like and then tell the printing service to fill Pantone whatever into their machine.

btride,

"Even if I'm Adobes client it is like that?"

Pantone is an entirely different company.

"How much will I need to pay after?"

Once you have the libraries in place there is no need to continue; the trial is enough.

btride,

I read "menched" as "mentioned" and "SAP" as "ASAP" (as soon as possible).

Undoubtedly, the suggestion by Iwasaki Susumu is what you need; you may read on in this recent thread, the enhanced answer dealing with something else,
