Night fever
The new Color Fever Lipstick packaging from Lancôme (L’Oréal) features a distinctive cap that is partly translucent and partly metallic in appearance - an effect achieved through Crown Risdon’s partial electroplating process.
The manufacturing process produces a geometrically precise, rectangular cap with a ‘window’ on two panels. The effect is accomplished by bi-injecting the cap using two types of plastic materials that interact differently with the electroplating function. The resulting cap is then electroplated in a shiny white bronze finish, and finally decorated by hot foil stamping protected by a coat of UV varnish. The base was also produced using a bi-injection process and electroplated in the same finish to give the entire package a high quality, elegant look.
