For the first skincare line from the young French brand Ten hectares, FaiveleyTech and Sulapac have signed dark marble-effect caps, produced at the Orgelet (Jura) site. The aesthetic rendering is based on a "sandwich injection" multi-injection process using four colorants simultaneously, after nearly a hundred trials.
New seasonal skincare brand Dix Hectares has chosen marble-effect caps for its first two products, Crème de Saison and Sérum de Saison. The project was entrusted to business unit FaiveleyTech Beauty, in partnership with Sulapac, with the aim of achieving a high level of visual purity consistent with an identity combining refinement, high standards and sensoriality.
Sandwich injection molding and colorimetric control
The heart of the system is a multi-injection system known as sandwich injection, which allows four colorants to be injected simultaneously. This approach, in which FaiveleyTech claims expertise, required almost a hundred tests to stabilize the shade/contrast balance and the delicate veining of the marbling, reconciling deep tones and light streaks within a material of biological origin.
Geometric constraints on flat surfaces
Beyond the visual signature, the design imposed specific industrial constraints. For the first time, the multi-injection technique was applied to components with large flat surfaces and unique shapes. The challenge was to maintain pattern homogeneity on geometries less forgiving than curved parts, while meeting Dix Hectares' aesthetic standards of visual excellence and tactile experience.
A functional sphere for gripping
The two caps are accompanied by a sphere positioned on the cream pot. Over and above its contribution to the overall design, this part was conceived to offer a precise grip, reinforcing the dimension of use and the sensory continuity of the gesture. All components were developed and produced at the Orgelet site in the Jura region, facilitating iterations between aesthetic fine-tuning and process validation.
FaiveleyTech-Sulapac alliance and brand anchoring
The choice of a case described as elegant and virtuous is in line with a positioning based on the terroir of a grand cru and a search for alignment between material, use and brand identity. FaiveleyTech and Sulapac, already partners on other developments, combined material know-how and process expertise to achieve the expected level of finish.
