By tampoprinting a layer of silver ink to the top of the cap using a special ink containing metallic pigments, rpc beauté was able to create a plate backing in a silver mirrorlike finish, visible through the clear dupont&trade surlyn® resin, without any visible glue or fixation mode. In addition, because the fragrance caps are heavy and require a long cycle time, rpc beauté met production capacity specified by lancôme by implementing a proprietary technique that reduces the cycle time of massive parts made of surlyn®, which subsequently reduces by the same proportion the number of molds and machines involved.
