The Haptic Luxury Experience

In a crowded market, the “Feel” of a product is a powerful brand differentiator. Our Soft-Touch technology transforms cold plastic into a warm, velvety surface that communicates premium quality instantly.

Soft Touch Bottle with Matte Finish

Why Tactile Packaging Matters?

Neuromarketing studies show that consumers are 40% more likely to purchase a product they have held. Soft-touch finishes increase the “perceived value” and encourage physical interaction.

Matte Elegance

High-gloss plastics can look cheap and reflective. Our Soft-Touch finish absorbs light, creating a deep, saturated color profile that looks sophisticated on the shelf.

Non-Slip Safety

For shower products (Shampoo/Body Wash), grip is a safety feature. Soft-touch coatings increase the coefficient of friction, preventing wet bottles from slipping.

Scratch Self-Healing

Unlike glossy PET which highlights every fingerprint and micro-scratch, rubberized coatings have elastic properties that can “heal” minor abrasions.

Technology I: Rubber Paint Coating

This is the industry standard for achieving a “velvet” feel on rigid containers. It involves a secondary spray process applicable to PET, ABS, and Aluminum.

The UV Curing Process

We apply a two-component polyurethane-based lacquer in our dust-free spray line. The bottle is then UV-cured to cross-link the polymer chains. This creates a coating thickness of 25-35 microns that is bonded chemically to the substrate.

Ideal Application: Luxury compacts, lipstick tubes, and rigid lotion bottles.

Technology II: In-Mold Softness

For brands avoiding secondary coatings (for cost or recycling reasons), we use material science to achieve the effect.

Soft-Touch PE (Co-Ex)

We use multi-layer Co-Extrusion blow molding. The outer layer is a specialized “Soft-Touch Resin” (blend of PE and TPE), giving the bottle a grippy, waxy feel without any spray.

Silicone (Natural Softness)

Наш сайт Silicone Series requires no coating. The material itself is soft. We sandblast the steel mold to VDI 3400 standards (texture grade), resulting in a dry, powdery finish that mimics skin.

Testing Adhesion & Durability

A soft-touch coating is useless if it peels. We subject every batch to rigorous “Torture Tests” before shipping.

  • Cross-Cut Test (ISO 2409): We cut a grid into the coating and apply standardized tape. A Class 0 result means zero peeling.
  • Alcohol Rub Test: 50 cycles of rubbing with 95% Ethanol to ensure the finish survives contact with perfume or sanitizer.
  • Environment Chamber: Stored at 45°C and 90% humidity for 72 hours to prevent “tackiness” (stickiness) over time.

Soft-Touch FAQ

Can I print on top of Soft-Touch coating? +
Yes, but it requires specialized UV inks. Standard silk screen ink may not adhere well to the rubberized surface. We use high-bonding inks or Hot Stamping foil formulated specifically for soft-touch substrates.
Does the coating become sticky over time? +
Cheap coatings do undergo “hydrolysis” and become sticky. We use automotive-grade PU lacquers designed to resist hydrolysis for 3+ years, ensuring your product feels premium until the last drop.
Is there a Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)? +
For Spray Coating, the MOQ is typically 10,000 pieces because setting up the spray line is labor-intensive. For Soft-Touch PE or In-Mold Texturing, standard MOQs apply.
