Metallization at scale with consistent quality

Metallization plays a key role in creating high-end packaging that stands out. Whether it is a metallic look, partial decoration or translucent effects, the right application enhances both the visual appeal and the perceived value of a product.

At Vacumetal, we combine advanced technology with in-house expertise to deliver stable, high-quality metallization processes at scale.

Full, partial and translucent metallization
Our fully automated in-line production lines are designed to deliver consistent results, every single time. Equipped with modern technologies such as plasma pre-treatment, magnetron sputtering and UV lacquering systems, we ensure optimal adhesion, precision and finish.

Thanks to digital process control, we achieve exceptional reproducibility. This means that whether you produce small batches or large volumes, the result remains the same. Reliable, stable and of the highest quality.

Built on in-house expertise
What sets Vacumetal apart is our strong in-house capability. With our own sampling line, colouring lab and tooling department, we are able to respond quickly and accurately to customer requirements.

Our technicians specialise in colour matching and surface finishing, ensuring that every product meets the desired look and feel. At the same time, we continuously develop CMR-free and solvent free raw materials and test new lacquers and technologies to stay ahead in innovation and sustainability.

With our in-house 3D printing department, equipped to rapidly develop tooling, we accelerate the transition from concept to production and significantly reduce time to market.

Quality without compromise
Quality is at the core of everything we do. Vacumetal is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and follows strict quality procedures throughout the entire production process.

Our fully equipped quality lab performs extensive testing on raw materials, during production and on finished products. Only when all specifications are met, products are approved and released for shipment.

This structured approach ensures that our customers can rely on consistent quality, every time.

Reliable performance in every production run
With fully automated processes, advanced technologies and a skilled team, we are able to produce large quantities while maintaining the highest standards.
The result is a stable production process that guarantees the same quality over and over again. From the first sample to full-scale production, we remain in control.

Fragrance packaging as a key to brand experience

In today’s fragrance market, packaging plays a crucial role in how a product is perceived. Consumers are not only buying a scent, they are buying an experience. The look and feel of a fragrance bottle often determine the first impression and can be the deciding factor in a purchase.

At Vacumetal, we understand that aesthetics and brand presentation are more important than ever. That is why we support fragrance brands with high-end decoration solutions that help their products stand out on the shelf and strengthen their identity.

Creating visual impact in a competitive market
The fragrance industry is highly competitive and constantly evolving. New launches, changing trends and increasing consumer expectations require brands to innovate not only in scent, but also in presentation.

Packaging is no longer just functional. It has become a powerful marketing tool that communicates quality, luxury and brand values at first glance.

With our expertise in metallizing, lacquering and laser etching, we offer a wide range of decoration possibilities for glass and plastic packaging. Whether it is a subtle metallic finish, a bold design or refined detailing, we help translate brand identity into a visually striking product.

Consistent quality at scale
In fragrance packaging, consistency is just as important as design. Brands rely on uniformity across large production volumes to maintain a strong and recognisable identity.

Thanks to our fully automated production processes and advanced technologies, we ensure high reproducibility and stable quality in every batch. From sampling to full-scale production, we maintain strict quality control to meet the highest industry standards.

From concept to final product
At Vacumetal, we combine technical expertise with a strong understanding of the market. Our in-house capabilities, including sampling, colour matching and tooling, allow us to support our customers throughout the entire process.

From the first concept to the final product, we work closely with our customers to achieve the desired result, both visually and technically.

April Fools!

Dankje voor je enthousiasme, maar het was een 1 april grap! 😀 | Thanks for your enthusiasm, but it was an April Fools' joke! 😀

A message from Lex

After many years of dedication to Vacumetal and a long international career in sales, Lex is starting a new chapter. At the end of March he will take early retirement.

During his time with Vacumetal, Lex built strong relationships with clients and partners across the world. His enthusiasm for international collaboration, understanding of cultural differences and passion for connecting people have made a lasting impact on both our organisation and the many people he has worked with.

As he steps into this new phase, Lex would like to share a personal message reflecting on his career, the people he has met and the experiences that have shaped his journey.

Below you can read Lex’s message:

‘After forty years of working, a new chapter is beginning for me. At the end of March, I will be taking early retirement.

I’m looking forward to having more time for other things: discovering new interests, continuing to learn, and above all enjoying whatever comes my way.

At the same time, this moment also brings mixed feelings. Over all these years, I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredible number of interesting and inspiring people. The meetings, conversations, and collaborations have perhaps been the most valuable part of my career for me, and that is something I will certainly miss.

I have also been fortunate to work internationally and to experience many different cultures. In my field, sales, that also meant that purchasing and cooperation are approached slightly differently everywhere. Understanding and respecting those cultural nuances has always fascinated me and has helped me to be successful.

I would therefore like to thank all my contacts, clients, and colleagues for the trust, the collaboration, and the many great conversations over the years. You have made an important contribution to a career that I look back on with great pleasure.’
