ADF&PCD Paris, the world's largest event dedicated to the aerosol, dispensing, fragrance and cosmetics packaging industry, will return in January 2020 alongside a brand new show, PLD: Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks. This will create a new forum for packaging designers to share ideas and inspiration, as well as seek out new suppliers and products in their respective markets.
The ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 trade shows will be held on January 29 and 30, 2020 at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Paris, under the theme "Innovate Together". The theme is true to the show's role as an event covering the closely related markets of beverages, cosmetics and aerosols, and as an event for teams involved in packaging projects in design, marketing, packaging development and purchasing within brands.

Josh Brooks, Event Director for ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020explains: " We pride ourselves on being very close to our industry, and we listen carefully to the needs of buyers and suppliers in the packaging markets we cover. It's clear that packaging developers, designers and buyers face the same challenges in the cosmetics, beverage and aerosol markets, both in terms of technical challenges and brand positioning. The launch of PLD is a direct response to our community's demand for an event that offers packaging designers in the premium and luxury beverage markets the opportunity to acquire and share technologies and ideas, as well as to learn from their colleagues in aligned sectors.. "

Launch of the Advisory Committee

The conference program has been developed in close partnership with an official Advisory Board, made up of senior executives from across the industry. This includes experts from some of the biggest names in cosmetics, beverages and personal care, for brands such as Beiersdorf, Coty, Diageo, Edrington, Interparfums, Kao, Unilever and many others.
Josh Brooks says: " Our Advisory Board is an evolution of our existing relationship with the market. It is an important recognition of the quality content we deliver every year, both in our conference rooms and throughout the show. It also demonstrates how deeply rooted the ADF&PCD show has become in the community, since its launch in 2001. "

Confirmed speakers for the upcoming event include senior representatives from brands such as Beiersdorf, Diageo, Johnson & Johnson, Pernod Ricard and others. There will be 16 hours of content in total, covering the main themes and challenges in packaging development: technical challenges, sustainability and material choice, consumer and market trends, design inspiration and issues for multi-disciplinary teams.

This "multi-market"/pluridisciplinary philosophy extends to the event itself, which is organized to enable cross-pollination between ADF&PCD and PLD exhibitors. Suppliers operating in several vertical sectors are grouped together on a central aisle linking all the zones. An exclusive gallery of the winners of Pentawards, the world's leading packaging design competition, will also showcase the best achievements of 2019 from across the packaging world.

Other highlights include :

  • The ADF&PCD Paris 2020 Awards: The much-anticipated and hotly contested annual awards celebrate the best the sector has offered in 2019. Registration is open until the November 7 deadline..
  • Tours for visitors : the tours offered to visitors will include the Made in France" tourwhich presents the best suppliers on the French market and Eco-tourswhich showcase leading products and suppliers of sustainable packaging solutions.
  • Innovation and Technology Forum: the renowned Innovation and Technology forum will host new product presentations, launches and an overview of the latest technical possibilities in packaging, with themed sessions by product type to make it easier for visitors to find the new products they're looking for.
    Josh Brooks concludes: " ADF&PCD Paris is already a major annual event for the global packaging industry. The inaugural PLD broadens its scope and presents new perspectives from the $4 billion premium beverage market. The event offers a shared vision of the sector, and we aspire to engage the entire industry in dialogue on many of the long-standing and emerging challenges facing multi-functional brand teams. We are convinced that the ADF&PCD and PLD Paris 2020 events will become a forum for resolutely revolutionary ideas.. "

Presented under the theme "Paint it Red!", these products highlight the emotional richness and power of red, an emblematic color in the world of beauty.

An innovative concept: "Paint it Red!

Paint it Red!" is not just a slogan, but an invitation to explore the emotional depth of red (Pantone 186C Red). This choice of color, synonymous with passion and autonomy, evokes a sense of confidence and individuality.

The three flagship products for this event each have their own unique characteristics. The Made-to-Measure Concealer is composed of 90 % ingredients of natural origin and is PEG-free. Thanks to its biomimetic ingredients and a powerful algae extract, it promises to improve skin elasticity and hydration.

The Better Butter Blush & Bronzeroffers a remarkable sensory experience: its texture evolves from cream to liquid, then disappears without leaving a greasy film, while releasing vibrant color and a soft, focused finish.

Finally, the Vertical Loop Mascara pushes back make-up standards thanks to hyaluronic acid, which coats each lash with a nourishing, beautifying effect. " It nourishes lashes from root to tip, giving them a stronger, healthier appearance, application after application. "says a Gotha Cosmetics representative.

Celebrating its 20the anniversary, Gotha Cosmetics reaffirms its role as a leader in the cosmetics industry with these innovative products, presented at the Makeup in New York event.

TNT Grouprenowned for its expertise in the engineering and manufacture of metal packaging, has collaborated with Darphin to create haute couture packaging for the new Stimulskin Plus collection. The range features a cream and a serum, both presented in technically advanced refillable containers.

Each package consists of two zamak parts, invisibly joined together to guarantee a polished, homogeneous finish. The creation process required in-depth study of the layout of the structures to avoid defects during the injection and demolding of the zamak. A screw system holds the glass cream jar in place, while the serum bottle uses a bayonet system for easy replacement. Consistent golden tones have been maintained across the various elements for a harmonious visual effect.

TNT Group, with teams based in Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Shanghai, continues to distinguish itself by its ability to tackle complex technical challenges and deliver innovative solutions for the cosmetics, fragrance and make-up industries. Since 2013, the company has established its status as a leader in the design of iconic pieces.

Micro-needling: authorization for beauticians

A ruling by the Strasbourg Administrative Court on June 16, 2025 has authorized the controlled use of micro-needling by beauticians, marking a significant step forward for the entire beauty industry. This decision comes after the Union des Professionnels de la Beauté et du Bien-être (UPB), affiliated to the Confédération Nationale de l'Esthétique Parfumerie (CNEP), challenged the ban on promoting these devices to professionals in the sector, previously considered to be for medical use only.

According to the arguments presented, the Direction Départementale de la Protection des Populations du Bas-Rhin claimed that these devices, using fine needles, constituted a medical act. However, the Court noted the absence of technical evidence proving penetration beyond the dermis or posing medical risks. Conversely, the manufacturer demonstrated that the devices are programmed not to exceed a specific depth of 0.15 millimeters, and are accompanied by mandatory training to ensure safe use. The use of these devices is prohibited on sensitive areas such as the eyelids, and no additives are used.

While this decision is welcomed by industry organizations for its recognition of the skills of aesthetic professionals, it opens the way to broader practices, provided they remain within the limits set by this ruling. It should be noted, however, that this decision may be subject to appeal, and only a ruling by the Conseil d'Etat could make it definitive. Furthermore, it does not grant universal approval to existing devices, but only to those meeting the specified safety criteria.

" The implementation of these devices must be accompanied by rigorous precautions "UPB and CNEP point out. They emphasize that the future of aesthetic practices lies in recognizing beauticians as qualified to use these minimally invasive techniques.
