Takemoto Packaging recently developed a new type of vacuum metallization process called Luminist. It is shown in the photo below, on the cap of the company’s new powder sifter low profile jar. “With Luminist, soft and ‘milky’ vacuum metallized colors can be achieved,” says Atsko Fukada, senior director, Takemoto Packaging.
This decorating process entails using a silver vacuum metallization process, followed by the application of a coating of Luminist lacquer. Any color can be done, but the supplier recommends using light, pastel colors. “It looks completely different from the typical shiny vacuum metallized looks, in shiny silver and gold,” Fukada says. “Luminist achieves a more nuanced high-end look with a feminine touch and youthfulness. This type of decoration is ideal for cosmetics packaging, as it invites the consumer to touch the product,” she adds.
(NOTE: Takemoto’s Luminist decorating process was featured in Beauty Packaging’s December 2017 issue in Decorating Decisions, but the photo was incorrectly identified as TIGI Cosmetics’ line.)
