Neopac: Tube caps with customised branding Qualipac results from a complex, high-speed three-piece assembly process which perfectly fits the bot- tle’s shoulders. Specific tests have been performed to ensure it func- tions properly. The gluing of the heel gives the final touch to this packag- ing solution, whose technical chal- lenge resides not only in the concep- tion and execution of the different components, but also in their opti- mal adjustment. www.groupe-pochet.fr Tesem developed, manufactured and assembled the spray cap on the 50ml version of the classic Stiletto bottle for Good Girl, the new femi- nine fragrance from Carolina Herre- ra. The spray cap is made up of six components. The outside consists of two injected plastic parts in black with a glossy varnish. The inside part, also in plastic, has technical features for the spray cap mecha- nism. The assembly is mechanically mounted on the elegant chrome-plat- ed Zamak heel. www.tesem.com Managed by Nithya Ram, head of Production at Comme des Garçons Parfums, designed by Fabien Baron, creative director, and team at Grace Coddington, the original curved bottle is inspired by Grace Codding- ton’s sketches and is a nod to the British designer’s passion for felines. This is evident by the two small pointed ears on the perfume cap. The perfume cap consists of an electro-plated ABS thermoplastic in- sert encapsulated in DuPont’s Surlyn PC-2200. This new grade was launched in 2015. It has Surlyn’s crystalline transparency, high gloss, chemical resistance, resistance against scratches and abrasion and is soft- touch. In addition, it offers greater design freedom by limiting technical hurdles. Due to the fluidity of the material, the part has no marks or joint lines and the injection point is concealed. www.dupont.com In order to show the pureness of glass in a bottle, Heinz Glas present- ed a concept showing a bottle with different glass weights creating a high quality look. Their concept A bottle with perspective features a glass bottle with an opening which can be filled with a cap made from Surlyn. The hole can be created in different sizes, just as the cap to fill the hole can come in different de- signs. The company’s GlasMeisterWerke is a newly-developed collection of the top 13 standard bottles, including practical closure solutions and inno- vative finishing ideas. Prospective customers are primarily smaller cus- tomers with smaller purchase quan- tities that are very fashion- and trend-oriented. www.heinz-glas.com WestRock’s Melodie Touch is a new fragrance delivery system with a small, refined spray, created in order to provide a discreet and direct- ly-targeted dose for touching up in public spaces. It is also well-suited for concentrated perfume formulas, an emerging trend among prestige brands. Melodie Mystery is the sev- enth sprayer in the Emotions of Spray collection. It maintains the magical aura of the fragrance via a prolonged, sensual and fine spray yet maintains a focused and targeted application. www.westrock.com. More sophistication for skin care HCT’s Gel Tip applicators have a very soft “skin” that applies a smooth, even layer of product every time. The applicator offers an application process so natural, it feels as if users are applying the product with their own finger. Competing materials such as silicon and TPE cannot achieve this extremely soft texture because the softer these materials are made, the more slick and sticky they become. www.hctpackaging.com Hoffmann Neopac launched the tube closures Tin Caps to create custom- ised branding on the closure, too – with 6-colour offset printing, an opaque or metallic finish (var- nished), different varnishes and em- bossing/debossing. www.neopac.com □ DuPont: Perfume cap with two pointed ears made of Surlyn Applicator that feels like applying the product with a finger PACKAGING 46 l COSSMA 11 I 2016 COS1611_44_LuxePack_Nachlese.indd 46 27.10.16 08:08 COS1611_44_LuxePack_Nachlese.indd 4627.10.1608:08
