Duchy Originals
The Duchy range features Spectra’s popular Flat Based Boston Round design.
The packs have been moulded in PET. Spectra used their unique frosted etched effect finish to add a premium look and feel for the bottles.
Traditionally, etched frosting is achieved using a pearling process, however this doesn’t actually affect the feel and can often produce a milky appearance. However, Spectra have developed a unique way of creating the effect during the moulding process, which actually disrupts the surface of the bottle resulting in a genuine glass-like frosted etched feel. This can be replicated on all of our standard PET containers.

This was then cleverly finished with stylish gold foil blocking which appears to overlap the other printed elements on the bottle.
Natural Look Packaging

Touch
Spectra has introduced Touch, a tactile print solution that gives brands the opportunity to add Braille to their packaging.
Dots can be printed directly onto the surface of the bottle using extremely accurate control measures, which means the height of the Braille alphabet remains consistent throughout the packaging run without the need for custom tooling.
