Metallising
Metallisation is a sophisticated multi-stage process that gives your packaging a brilliant, mirror-like metallic finish. We first apply a precision base coat, followed by vacuum deposition to cover the cap in a genuine metallic foil. Finally, a specialized top coat of coloured glaze is applied to protect the surface and achieve the desired aesthetic.

FAQ
Q: Can further decoration be applied to a metallised surface?
A: Yes. We can enhance metallised caps with additional layers of branding, including screen-printing, hot-stamping, or even specialized decoating techniques to create intricate designs.
Q: Is partial metallisation available?
A: Yes, we offer partial metallisation for projects that require a contrast between the metallic finish and the base material of the cap.
Q: Is metallisation compatible with any fragrance?
A: Not necessarily. Because fragrance formulas vary in strength and chemical composition, we perform a case-by-case compatibility test to ensure the finish remains pristine when in contact with your specific product.
Q: Is metallisation available in any colour?
A: While not every possible hue can be achieved, we offer a broad and versatile range of metallic colours to suit most branding requirements.
Q: What resistance tests are conducted on metallised surfaces?
A: To ensure maximum durability, we perform "cross-cut" adhesion tests. The surface is scratched in a criss-cross pattern to verify that the metallic layer remains firmly bonded to the cap.
Q: Does the cap need to be a specific material to be metallised?
A: This process is highly versatile and suitable for almost all materials, with the exception of wood and aluminium.
