This bilayer matte metal effect enables products to subtly pop on the shelf, glistening from edges that reflect light, while darker curves of the object remain shrouded in luxurious mystery, Ampacet says.
The Muted Metal Collection delivers the dynamic reflectivity and visual softness of aged metal in six colorways: Distressed Gold, Vintage Copper, Blackened Steel, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Rewilded Brass and Brushed Titanium. Well suited for hair care, personal care, beauty and cosmetics packaging, the collection imparts a look of premium elegance for brands that seek to elevate their products’ shelf and web appeal.
