Luxury aesthetics, high quality and durability. Metals are a distinctive choice for the creation of packaging products.
Each type of metal — from zamak and aluminium to steel and brass — has its own technical properties. The choice of material is guided by the specific requirements of the design, functionality, and production performance. Alambicco specialises in the development of caps and decorative accessories for the beauty, home, lifestyle and premium distillery sectors.
- Zamak
Zamak is a highly versatile zinc-based alloy that is ideal for producing high-end packaging components. Its substantial weight and cold feel to the touch create an immediate perception of quality and refinement in products.
- Aluminium
One of aluminium’s key features – being both lightweight and strong – is its 100% recyclability, an infinite number of times. These properties make it one of the most sustainable choices for supporting a more environmentally responsible future.
Our manufacturing partners work with both die-cast and turned aluminium components.
- Steel
Steel's craftsmanship makes it ideal for small quantities and limited editions. With a higher specific weight than zamak, steel is one of the most suitable metals for producing valuable items. Its ability to achieve excellent surface finishes — refined and free from imperfections — further enhances its aesthetic potential.
- Brass
Brass is valued for its ductility and is commonly used to create exclusive details and decorative elements, such as labels and embellishments.
Thanks to innovative technologies and decorative techniques, metal articles can be finished in a variety of ways and combined with other materials to create a wide range of effects, textures and decorative details.
Furthermore, metal surfaces can be treated using various finishing techniques to meet the aesthetic requirements of the packaging project effectively. These include PVD, metallisation, galvanisation, epoxy and UV varnishing, sublimation, laser engraving, screen printing, hot stamping, enamel application and antiquing.
Combining metal with other materials such as leather, textiles, wire mesh, resins, wood, polymers, decorative enamels and rhinestones exponentially increases the range of customisation options available.
