Lacquering bottles
Lacquering is a traditional technique that makes it possible to colour a bottle with a variety of effects. Lacquer is applied with a spray gun. It may be total or partial, matte or shiny, translucent or opaque. Colour is generally applied to the exterior of the bottle, but it may also be applied to the interior using a specific technique.

Questions & Answers
-
Is it possible to apply a decoration to a lacquered surface ?
Absolutely. The decoration can be achieved through a number of techniques: screen printing, pad printing, or hot stamping.
-
Can the colour of a bottle be perfectly matched to that of its cap ?
Colour prototypes and various tests make it possible to align the shades. However, it can be difficult to compensate for the differences between materials and textures.
-
Is lacquer suitable for any fragrance ?
No, since each product contains different ingredients of varying strengths. It is necessary to perform a compatibility test on a case-by-case basis
-
Can several colours be applied to the same bottle ?
Yes, if the finish is identical across the full surface of the bottle (matte, shiny, translucent, opaque).
-
Can the level of a gradation be personalised?
Anything is possible using this technique.
