クライアントの背景
モステブ received a request from a fragrance research company in Lyon, France to design a bespoke decorative diffuser bottle. The institute required 200 ml clear glass bottles which were visually neat but professional enough to be evaluated for fragrance formulation testing and for client purposes.
The specified bottle had to be cylindrical in shape with thin vertical etched lines, stoppered with natural wood and could be used with standard wood reed diffusers. Consistent surface treatment and dimensional stability were also required for the project as the bottles would be reused in testing environments. They selected Mosteb due to our level of customization at the factory level, technical efficiency of communication, and experience in supporting applications of professional fragrances as opposed to retail application.
課題
- 過去に使用されていた表面仕上げの悪さ: 当研究所は以前にも装飾ディフューザーボトルを販売する他の企業と提携していましたが、表面処理はロットごとに大きく異なっていました。エッチングの不均衡は、比較試験における視覚的な一貫性に影響を与え、外部のパートナーにサンプルを引き渡す際の信頼性を低下させました。
- Functional Issues During Extended Testing: There were also cases of an unstable base, and non-uniform tolerances of necks in some of the diffuser bottles causing the stopper and reeds to sit inconsistently and have different evaporation rates during prolonged testing.
原因分析
| Issue | Likely Cause | Corrective Action |
| Uneven etched appearance | Inconsistent processing parameters | Standardized etching process |
| Reed instability | Neck dimensional variation | Improved neck mold control |
| Bottle movement | Insufficient base stability | Adjusted base structure |
| Batch variation | Lack of pre-production approval | Added sample and QC approval |
解決
- 標準化により処理時間とエッチング深度を固定しました。
- 同じネックと垂直性を維持するように金型の定義を改善しました。
- ベースに少し厚みを加えることで、実験室の作業面における安定性が向上します。
- 大量生産の前に、生産前のサンプルと包括的な QC 情報を提供して承認を得ました。
結果
The final bottles had a more uniform etched look throughout the batch. The new neck size also helped to ensure that the stopper and reeds will remain in place during testing and the strengthened base for improved stability on laboratory work surfaces. After this project, the institute affirmed continuous relationship with Mosteb on future diffuser bottle customization programs.
