Axilone says its creation of a cap and ferrule for the two fragrances Boss Night and Boss Day is a fitting example of its expertise as well as the Ileos group subsidiary’s potential as a mold maker and injector. For this project, Axilone mastered a dual technical feat: injecting the massive Surlyn cap in a single process without distortion, and injecting it into a 12-cavity mold without creating an imbalance. This resulted in the top of the part being perfectly flat. The cap has a streamlined design with a discreet point of injection at its base.

For decoration and assembly, Axilone focused on integrating processes. The injected ABS galvanized gold ferrule is laser engraved to attain a high level of definition on an automated, robotic line. This line deconditions ferrules, engraves them, does a visual quality control, and then reconditions them. Cap and ferrule are then assembled and conditioned on an automated line. This same line visually controls the ferrule’s engraving as well as its positioning, in addition to controlling the assembly of ferrule and cap.
