客户背景
Mosteb 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.
挑战
- 过去使用的表面处理工艺较差： 该研究所此前曾与其他装饰性香薰瓶供应商合作，但不同批次产品的表面处理工艺差异显著。蚀刻程度不均影响了对比测试中的视觉一致性，也降低了向外部合作伙伴提供样品的信心。
- 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 |
解决方案
- 加工时间和深度蚀刻工艺标准化。
- 改进模具定义，以保持相同的颈部垂直度。
- 在底座上增加一些厚度，以增强其在实验室工作台面上的稳定性。
- 提供预生产样品和全面的质量控制信息，供批量生产前审批。
结果
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.
