Transparent garnet
A red exterior lacquer covers the visible glass, including the heel. Aim for a readable central face and luminous edges rather than an opaque burgundy block.
DESIGN STUDY · DG-006
Rubis 06 Garnet & Bronze
A smooth central facet holds the R monogram and fragrance information. Around it, angular shoulders and side planes break the light into ruby highlights. The bronze cap repeats that geometry at a lower, wider scale.
DESIGN DIRECTION
Keep the lettering still while the edges catch light.
Rubis 06 concentrates decoration on one face. There is no printed border competing with the bevels: the geometry creates its own frame. Red continues through the visible heel, where thicker glass and longer light paths produce a deeper tone than the central panel.
Antique bronze
A satin bronze tone gives the polygonal cap weight without mirror-like glare. Match its collar closely while allowing the bevels to reflect differently.
Pale champagne
A single metallic-ink artwork carries the geometric R, RUBIS 06, EAU DE PARFUM and 100 ml / 3.4 FL. OZ. Keep every character inside the broad central facet.
BOTTLE & COMPONENTS
Use the central facet as the decoration datum.
The Faceted Luxury reference supplies the angular body direction. Confirm the flat printing land, bevel junctions and shoulder geometry on the actual glass drawing. The low polygonal bronze closure requires its own dimensional and retention review.
- Glass geometry
- Broad polygonal body, angular shoulders and a smooth front facet. Confirm 100 ml nominal fill, glass distribution, standing surface and neck finish before tooling selection.
- Colour coverage
- Transparent garnet lacquer on the visible body and heel; no clear base band. Protect the mouth and sealing surfaces and define the hidden fixture-contact area.
- Artwork boundary
- One champagne metallic-ink pass on the central facet. Specify clearances from every bevel junction and confirm the minimum reproducible line width with the decorator.
- Closure alignment
- Satin bronze polygonal shell with a fitted insert and matching collar. Set an agreed orientation to the front facet and verify actuator clearance.
PROPOSED DECORATION ROUTE
Build colour depth without losing the facets.
Red lacquer can appear much darker at corners and in the thick heel. Establish its distribution first, then qualify metallic print and closure alignment on the same finished bottle.
- 01
Set the printing land
Position the geometric R and text within the central facet. Locate the fixture from the base and side geometry so print rotation is repeatable.
Approval pointApprove bevel clearances and the final capacity wording.
- 02
Protect the functional glass
Clean the body and mask mouth and sealing areas. Define a support point beneath the base while leaving the visible heel available for colour.
Approval pointInspect edge cleanliness and fixture stability before spraying.
- 03
Balance the garnet coating
Trial controlled passes across the face and angled sides. Avoid excess build at bevel junctions; cure within the selected coating system’s validated window.
Approval pointReview colour on the face, corners and thick heel with the intended fill.
- 04
Print the champagne identity
Screen print the R, RUBIS 06, fragrance type and capacity onto the flat facet using a compatible metallic ink. Keep the screen clear of the surrounding bevels.
Approval pointCheck metallic coverage, fine lines and adhesion to the red coating.
- 05
Finish the bronze components
Develop the satin bronze cap and collar together. Review the polygonal edges for uneven finishing, and assemble the retention insert.
Approval pointApprove metal colour, edge coverage and cap-to-collar consistency.
- 06
Align the completed pack
Fit the selected pump and orient the cap to the front facet. Use a shaped pack insert that supports the body without loading its projecting corners.
Approval pointCheck cap position, spray operation, leakage and contact points in the pack.
SAMPLING & APPROVAL
Approve the appearance. Validate the complete pack.
Colour across the geometry
Compare the central face, bevel junctions and heel under agreed lighting. Evaluate filled samples, because the liquid and glass thickness change the perceived red. Set acceptable variation from a physical reference.
Metallic print on lacquer
Test ink and coating as one system for adhesion, rubbing and fragrance exposure. Inspect the R corners and small capacity text for missing ink or loss of contrast.
Edges, closure and transport
Inspect glass edges and standing stability. Confirm cap orientation and retention, then assess abrasion and impact in the proposed packaging with filled bottles.
Give your next fragrance a faceted identity.
Define the red, metallic artwork and bronze closure as a coordinated packaging programme.
