Summary: Paramount partnered with a leading hair growth supplement brand, owned by one of the largest global consumer personal care companies, to create premium supplement packaging for its new capsule-based hair supplement. The elevated glass jar features a sprayed, multi-color silk screen decoration and a smooth plastic cap matched to the glass. The result: a seamless color match across materials and production runs.
The challenge: making glass and plastic look like one material
The hardest part of this project was getting two different substrates to read as a single, cohesive color.
Three factors made the match difficult:
- Substrate behavior: Sprayed coatings and silk screen inks sit and cure differently on glass than color does in a molded plastic cap.
- Light refraction: Glass bends and reflects light in ways plastic does not, which shifts how saturation and opacity appear to the eye.
- Surface texture: The decorated glass and the smooth cap have different finishes, so even identical color values can look mismatched side by side.
The solution: iterative testing and tight process control
We solved the match through close collaboration with the brand and our decorating and molding partners.
- Define the color target. We aligned with the brand on the exact color standard.
- Test and refine iteratively. We ran repeated decoration and molding trials.
- Evaluate side by side. Decorated jars and caps were reviewed together under consistent lighting to confirm a true visual match.
- Lock in process controls. Once approved, we standardized the process so color saturation, opacity, and finish stayed consistent run after run.
The results: a premium package that stands apart on shelf
- Seamless look across materials: Glass and plastic read as a single, unified design.
- Consistency at scale: Color, opacity, and finish hold across multiple production runs.
- Stronger brand identity: The package reinforces the brand’s premium, feminine positioning.
- Better consumer experience: An elevated daily ritual product that still works for everyday use.
