Composed of SAN, the case’s vial component communicates the Wink line’s message of unabashed color through its own translucence.

New Launches
Quadpack released its new Flash Pen, which enables beauty brands to launch a high-performance pen for lip or eye color. Co-developed with lipstick specialist Brivaplast, this product introduces two important technical enhancements. First, the Flash Pen features a redesigned mechanism to prevent tilting. As a result, the color bullet twists up and down in a straight line, preventing damage and making application easier and more comfortable. In addition, the Flash Pen has a new, Quadpack-registered system for color identification. Flash Pen Coloris uses coin-shaped, color-coding discs—which can be decorated with a logo—that snap into the bottom of the pack. This way, the color code can be added during final assembly, allowing brand to buy and store the product ahead of time and prepare for a tactical response to market demand. When placed upside-down in a retail display, the color reference is visible without removing the pack from the stand. Alternatively, a metal bottom is available, and all pack elements also can be decorated using a host of techniques.

The Glass Enhancer decoration consists of a spray coloring on the inside of the glass bottle to enhance the beauty of glass by showing the clear and thick base of the bottle and to create unique visual effects. It also is available with pearled and metalized colors.
