고객 배경
모스테브 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.
도전 과제
- 과거에 사용되었던 품질이 떨어지는 표면 마감재: 해당 연구소는 이전에 다른 장식용 디퓨저 병 판매업체들과 협력한 적이 있지만, 표면 처리 방식이 제품 배치별로 크게 달랐습니다. 불균형적인 에칭은 비교 테스트에서 시각적 일관성에 영향을 미쳤을 뿐만 아니라 외부 파트너에게 샘플을 제공하는 데 대한 신뢰도를 떨어뜨렸습니다.
- 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.
원인 분석
| 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 |
해결책
- 표준화된 고정 처리 시간 및 깊이 에칭 공정.
- 금형 정의를 개선하여 목 부분의 수직 형상을 동일하게 유지합니다.
- 실험실 작업대에서의 안정성을 높이려면 바닥 부분을 약간 두껍게 만드세요.
- 대량 생산에 앞서 승인을 받기 위해 사전 생산 샘플과 종합적인 품질 관리 정보를 제공했습니다.
결과
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.
