Berry Global

Using advanced manufacturing and decoration processes, RPC beauté has created the luxury cap for the recently-launched Joy Forever by Jean Patou perfume, created by Designer Parfums.

The stylish closure, which features a wide top and intricate detail on the stem to complement the attractive square-curved bottle, is injection moulded in ABS. The complex design involves the manufacture and assembly of several different components to achieve the overall effect.

High-end decoration using electroplating and hot stamping with a double-sided film creates the eye-catching gold finish that conveys the premium image of the perfume and helps to maximize on-shelf presence.
