Calypax Library
Materials and finishes,
made clearer.
A growing reference for the techniques, materials and surface effects that shape beauty packaging. Use it to understand the possibilities, compare directions and find the right language for a brief.
DecorationMaterial effectsSurface + tactilityNew techniques
01 · DecorationScreen printing
Direct, precise colour applied to the pack surface.
+
Ink is pressed through a fine screen onto the component. It is well suited to logos, lettering and controlled areas of solid colour, especially on cylindrical or gently curved packs.
- Best for
- Clean graphics, opaque colour and durable branding
- Consider
- Artwork detail, colour matching, substrate and print area
02 · DecorationHot stamping
Foil transferred with heat and pressure for a crisp accent.
+
A heated die transfers metallic, pigment or specialist foil onto the pack. The result can create a sharp luxury detail without coating the entire component.
- Best for
- Logos, fine lines, metallic accents and premium cues
- Consider
- Surface geometry, artwork size, foil choice and registration
03 · DecorationLaser marking
A precise mark created directly on the material surface.
+
A laser changes or removes a controlled surface layer to create text, codes or graphics without adding ink or foil. The final contrast depends on the material and any coating beneath it.
- Best for
- Fine detail, permanent coding and understated graphics
- Consider
- Material response, contrast, depth and test results
04 · Material effectPearlescent effect
Soft, shifting luminosity built into colour or coating.
+
Pearlescent pigments can be introduced through the material, colour masterbatch or a surface coating. They reflect light with a softer, more dimensional effect than a flat metallic finish.
- Best for
- Luminous colour, skincare cues and elevated tactile objects
- Consider
- Base colour, pigment scale, opacity and viewing angle
05 · SurfaceMetallisation
A reflective metal-like layer across all or part of a component.
+
A thin deposited layer creates a polished, satin or tinted metallic appearance. Selective masking can combine reflective and uncoated areas for a more architectural result.
- Best for
- High-impact shine, colour-tinted metal and precise contrast
- Consider
- Substrate, masking, topcoat, handling and recyclability goals
06 · SurfaceSoft-touch coating
A low-gloss surface with a velvety hand feel.
+
A specialist coating reduces gloss and changes the tactile impression of the component. It can make simple forms feel warmer and more considered in the hand.
- Best for
- Matte colour, tactile differentiation and restrained luxury
- Consider
- Wear, formula contact, colour shift and compatibility testing
About Calypax
Manufacturing,
made easier to explore.
Calypax is a product showroom built by people who manufacture, engineer and deliver beauty packaging. We know the operational work behind every product; this platform brings the products themselves forward in a clearer, smarter way, so brands can find what they need and move into a focused conversation sooner.
Why we built Calypax
The work begins
before the brief.
A brand does not begin with a mould number. It begins with a formula, a consumer, a price point, a launch window and an idea of how the product should feel. Calypax reorganises our product and manufacturing knowledge around those decisions.
That makes it easier to search, compare and identify the right starting point—before repeated emails, catalogue exchanges or a fully formed brief are needed.
Make products easier to find
We organise what we manufacture around the way beauty brands actually search and decide.
Move faster together
A better starting point creates a clearer conversation and a faster path to execution.
Our manufacturing capabilities
Capability behind
the products.
Tooling, moulding, tube production, finishing and assembly in China and Vietnam support the products shown throughout Calypax. The capability is here when a brand is ready to develop, validate and deliver.
01
Tooling + engineering
Integrated tooling and moulding support structure, materials and production validation.
02
Automated assembly
