Guerlain and Alcan Packaging Beauty Reinvent the Terracotta Compact

When Guerlain decided to revive its Terracotta compact, it partnered with Alcan Packaging Beauty to turn designer Ora Ïto’s recreation into a stunning compact with sleek, gentle lines. The lid is comprised of three parts: a thick, transparent SAN lens with gold hot stamping between the amber varnish that brings out the Guerlain name in calligraphic style and an upper transparent UV varnish; a brown; metal-finish platform with an embossed, off-center orange silk-screened double G; and the hinge ring, which is made from brown metal-finish polycarbonate PB ABS. The three parts are assembled via ultrasound welding. The base, also brown metal-finished, is over-molded to comply with the solid part’s perfect geometry. For a closure that protects the bulk but is also more flowing, a magnet is located in the lid and in the base.
