a new makeup palette, lipstick, skin cream or fragrance, all packages require decorating

January 15, 2021

Whether a brand is launching a new makeup palette, lipstick, skin cream or fragrance, all packages require decorating—and most decorative effects aren’t as simple to achieve as they look. A combination of decorating processes and specialized techniques are usually needed, whether the deco is minimal or ornate.

Deciding which types of decorating processes will achieve the look your team envisions is often a challenge, but working with the right supplier partners often makes all the difference.

“We welcome a challenge and encourage close collaboration with our customers to achieve a desired look,” says John Schofield, Many of Screentech/Sprayetech’s customers ask for advice about the best ways to bring a designer’s vision to market.

 

At vice president marketing & business development, says one challenge he often sees is the difficulty visualizing the different types of looks that can be achieved using various decorating techniques. “Brands—as well as the supplier partners we work with—don’t often consider all the ways to combine processes; different combinations will produce truly custom effects,” he says. “A straightforward approach is always easier, but never the most innovative. We love to challenge our customers to come up with truly unique designs, to elevate a brand,” he adds.

The team agrees. Choosing a decorating process can be a complex process. When the team was deciding which decorating techniques to use for its skincare brand Joyome (shown and described in more detail below), settling on a strategy to execute its vision was slightly more complicated than anticipated. Commenting on the package development process, Garren Lofgreen, art director, Plexus Worldwide, says, “A collaborative effort ensued with many great concepts and ideas brought to the table—in a whirlwind of fast timelines.”

Mark Bellard, president/owner, says the brands he works with usually know the type of look they want to create, but often need advice on the best way to achieve it. “When a customer comes to us with just an idea, the dialogue begins, a conversation about all the possibilities,” he says. Siloa offers silk screening, lithography, offset, pad printing, hot stamping, anodizing, electroplating and vacuum metallizing—and various spray finishing techniques—and often advises brands on which techniques are best suited for a project.
