Marketplace: The latest new products and their packaging.
Cosmetic Bottles:
Chanel chose a new concept in skin-care packaging for its new Precision line. Two of the line's caps are molded in black SAN and hot stamped into a recess with the Chanel logo. These caps are then UV lacquered for high gloss, scuff resistance and improved chemical compatibility. A white polypropylene inner complete with a wad is snapped into the cap, which then screws down onto Adflex® bottles and tottles. Alflex material is soft to the touch, and contributes to the look and functionality of the package. Toly Products US

Lipstick Case:
Revlon has selected a stylish plastic lipstick case for its Almay Lip Creme product. The case is injection molded and finished in a soft, frosted-white color, accented at the center with an anodized silver band. The color and band give the package a modern appearance. It features the ColorTouch® system, which is engineered for smooth action and consistent torque to deliver a "luxurious feel" for the user. Risdon-AMS
Mirror Image:
A clever, yet inexpensive cosmetic case utilizes mirrors in its packaging to increase attractiveness and functionality. A use of corrugate materials on a soap box is an example of using innovative techniques to enhance packaging quality. Jewel Case Corp.

Aluminum Aerosols:

A contemporary graphics scheme set against the aluminum background is offset-printed in three colors to convey a striking point-of-sale image appropriate for the retail environment. CCL Container
