Nivea Lip Pen - Solid Know-How...

Rexam's expertise in air-tight pack solutions produced a case made from ABS, the airtight seal of which is guaranteed by the self-jointing assembly of cap and base.

17/11/06 Rexam has designed an original liner pen to protect the long-lasting wear of Extreme Stay lipstick

An air-tight case to protect a unique formulation

The challenge here was to design an air-tight pack in order to protect and preserve the long-wearing isododecane-based formula in the new Extreme Stay Pen.

Rexam's expertise in air-tight pack solutions produced a case made from ABS, the airtight seal of which is guaranteed by the self-jointing assembly of cap and base.

A fleur-de-lys finish: the art of highlighting a product's femininity and sensuality

This pen sits perfectly inside the new range of Nivea Beauty makeup launched in 2005 and reproduces the metallized light blue colour shade that Rexam had already developed for the 2 foundation cases (Pressed Powder and Foundation).

To create distinction for the first lipstick ever to use extracts of lily – well-known for their covering potential – Nivea wanted to reproduce this potent symbol on its Extreme Stay pen. So Rexam proposed an SAN thick-walled lens which, through a magnifying effect, helps to enhance the fleur-de-lys engraved in the cap mould. 

Solving technical requirements to bring out greater beauty

To ensure perfect alignment between the lens and cap, which are cut pieces, Rexam developed a special indexing system to facilitate manual assembly and guarantee consistent quality.
