CLEAR, COATED OR ELECTROPLATED GLASS: HOW TO SET THE FINISH DIRECTION
Use the product, brand position and approval standard to choose a practical surface route.
Use the product, brand position and approval standard to choose a practical surface route.
Clear glass
Clear glass keeps the bottle structure and formula visible. It can work well for brands that value transparency and a clean material expression. Any requirement for light protection or formula stability remains the responsibility of product-specific evaluation.
Opaque and pearlescent coating
Coating can create solid colour, soft-touch, satin or pearlescent directions. Buyers should provide a physical reference or colour code, define gloss level and confirm whether the coverage includes the base, shoulder and difficult geometry.
Metallic and electroplated finishes
Metallic effects can create a stronger reflective surface and visual impact. Geometry, coverage, closure pairing and fingerprint sensitivity should be considered. The finish should be reviewed on the selected bottle rather than approved from a screen image.
Record the sample standard
Lighting changes how colour and reflection appear. Approve the sample under a consistent viewing condition and record the colour reference, finish name, gloss, acceptable variation and decoration relationship.
