An orbiting scroll of a scroll compressor includes a platter wall having a first face including a spiral structure projecting therefrom, a second face having a coupling structure configured to couple the orbiting scroll to a drive mechanism of the scroll compressor, and a circumferential surface connecting the first face to the second face in an axial direction of the platter wall. The orbiting scroll includes a mass reduction feature provided as an inwardly indented channel formed in the circumferential surface. The channel is further configured to form a retaining feature for retaining a rim of a mask during a process of coating the spiral structure of the first face with a surface coating.
