Luxury in Aluminum: Keva’s Signature Perfume Bottles

The beginning of the cooperation story

Keva is an excellent perfume brand from Indonesia, specializing in high-end fragrance and essential oil products. Initially, they have been using glass bottles as packaging, but with the brand upgrade and the growth of market demand, the limitations of glass bottles gradually emerged: Fragile: easy to break during transportation and use, increasing losses. Heavy: Glass bottles are heavy, resulting in high logistics costs. Inconvenient to carry: For consumers, glass bottles are not convenient to carry. So, Keva began to look for a lighter, safer, and more brand-friendly packaging solution to upgrade their product packaging.

Keva's doubts

• Can the Aluminum bottle maintain the quality of the perfume?
• Is there a high-end craftsmanship?
• What is the visual effect?

At MERRYNEWON, when faced with unclear customer needs, our team takes a step-by-step guidance approach to help them clarify their ideas and provide professional advice.

Step 1: Keva provides some simple size requirements and reference pictures of several glass bottles.

Step 2: In combination with Keva’s brand tone and design style, we recommended different aluminum bottle shapes and introduced a variety of process options such as spray painting, silk screen printing, offset printing, and electroplating.

Prototyping Challenges: Solving the Difficulties in Customization

Challenge 1: Subjectivity of color customization the color of aluminum bottles may vary under different light, and high temperature baking during production will affect the color. We maintained close communication with Keva and made multiple rounds of adjustments to achieve the most ideal color effect.

Challenge 2: Accuracy of gradient color the gradient electroplating process requires a natural color transition, but there may be color differences between different batches. We finally achieved a gradient effect that satisfied Keva  customers through multiple experiments and adjustment of the control parameters of the gradient area.

Challenge 3: Fineness of silk-screen LOGO the silk-screen process requires precise alignment to ensure the clarity and durability of the LOGO. We optimized the printing solution to make the

LOGO more refined and in line with the brand's high-end feel.

Finally, we successfully completed the sample production and sent it to Keva for confirmation as soon as possible.
