Hello,

I am working on a project where I am trying to get the same effect on the plastic as this plastic packaging for the Absolut Vodka Disco, I need to reach this disco ball effect.
I am guessing it is not from the pigment but from a post injection process.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance,

Yann
 
What kind of project is it? Year-end senior design?

You can create the faceted affect by the geometry of the mold, then use vacuum metalization to get a chrome (read: reflective) finish.

Although that would be more of a continuous finish where your image almost looks like it has individual mirrors attached.

Let me know what you come up with!
