Case Study
A heritage fragrance brand wanted a cap that combined multiple finishes to evoke their brand's history. GPBottles created a custom Zamac cap with an antique silver base, polished gold band in the middle, and laser-engraved brand crest on top. The multi-finish cap cost $1.10/pc at 10,000 units but elevated the fragrance's retail price from $85 to $145. The cap design became iconic and was featured in multiple design publications.
