ADF, PCD and PLD the Paris Packaging Week 2022 shows: a unifying edition and a plebiscite from professionals!

A full house for both visitors and exhibitors

Some 6,912 visitors and a total of 10,509 attendees (including exhibitors' staff) and 637 exhibitors passed through the "cyan, magenta and yellow" doors of Paris Packaging Week. The event organized by EasyFairs brought together professionals from the aerosol (ADF), beauty and fragrance (PCD), premium beverage (PLD) and other luxury sectors. The magic of the synergy between these three worlds worked once again this year, with a loyal visitor base.

We are very happy with the numbers of visitors and exhibitors. The health context suggested a drop in the number of participants, but this was not the case! Paris Packaging Week is back to the excellent figures of its 2020 edition, with an additional human dimension: the pleasure of finally getting together. This is what struck me as I toured the show. The atmosphere was one of smiles, of communicative energy, of the joy of being face to face again. It was the reunion our industry needed. " says Josh Brooks, event director of Paris Packaging Week.

An event that met the expectations of its visitors and exhibitors

Paris Packaging Week is proud to have gathered for its exhibitors a very qualified visitor, composed of purchasing, packaging, design or marketing managers of brands, whether from the luxury, masstige or indie brands. We can thus mention some of the best companies in the industry: L'Oréal, Martell Mumm Perrier Jouët, Chanel, Hermès, LVMH, Nuxe, Coty, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Rémy Cointreau, 900.care, L'Occitane, Sephora, Pierre Fabre, Beiersdorf, Cartier, Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits, Pernod Ricard, Diageo, Campari, and many others

Highlights of Paris Packaging Week 2022

The 2022 edition of Paris Packaging Week was unique in many ways. It was unique because it was the first edition under the name "Paris Packaging Week" and with a transformed graphic identity. It was also special because it was held on a date that is unusual in the history of the show: the end of June, instead of the end of January. And a special edition with its share of novelties and events within the event.

The Innovation Awards are finally taking place in person!

After the results were unveiled last April, the ADF, PCD and PLD Awards ceremonies were held in the presence of all participants. Three highlights and an Innovation Awards gallery highlighted the most relevant packaging of recent months.

The Innovation Awards highlighted 5 key market trends:

  • The monomaterial,
  • Reduction or relief,
  • Recharging,
  • Personalization,
  • The customer experience.

Each ceremony was marked by a keynote speech from a leading figure in his or her sector: the PCD Innovation Awards by Franck Marilly, President and CEO of Shiseido EMEA, the ADF Innovation Awards by Alain d'Haese, General Secretary of the FEA (European Aerosol Federation), and the PLD Innovation Awards by Sandrine Sommer, Chief Sustainability Officer of Moët Hennessy.

The student challenges and the ESIReims premiere

Students from ESEPAC and ESP competed around the theme "How to reinvent unique, luxurious and sustainable consumer experiences for the luxury fragrance market?" Five projects were chosen as winners, and their creators were invited to present them on the PCD Talks stage.

For the first time in 2022, ESIReims proposed a double challenge to its students and offered them the opportunity to show their know-how to professionals of the sector, both industrial and brand. The challenge launched by Huda Beauty consisted in either totally reinventing a palette of 18 shades by making it refillable and recyclable, or transforming the secondary packaging of the Kayali brand's flagship perfume by rethinking it in terms of eco-design and industrialization.

These key topics that were at the heart of all conversations

Several topics stood out, whether in the aisles, in the conversations or in the conferences. Eco-responsibility has undoubtedly become the number one issue raised by brands and promoted by exhibitors. The 2022 edition has highlighted a tangible rise in refill solutions, monomaterial and/or lightweight packaging, attention to CSR, and the desire to integrate the circular economy, all in an approach that is always creative and modern. Today's packaging is in the midst of a green revolution, and Paris Packaging Week will have made its contribution to this essential transformation.

See you at Paris Packaging Week 2023

The next edition of Paris Packaging Week will be held on January 25 and 26, 2023, still at Porte de Versailles. It has already been announced with two major novelties: the integration of the Packaging Première show and the partnership with the FEA (European Aerosol Federation).

Having embarked on a relocation project 6 years ago, the company analyzed a portfolio of over 80 manufacturers. " It's a challenge, because little know-how is available in Europe, and it means that we have to rethink our particularly complex products so that they can be industrialized on European soil. We're delighted to have the support of experts. Their interest in our project reinforces the choices we've made and attests to the relevance of our rational relocation approach. At Cosmogen, we're now embracing the 6R*! "underlines Priscille Caucé (*).Reduce, Recycle, Renew, Recharge, Reuse, Relocate)

Eviosys launches EvioLink, bringing metal packaging into the digital age

On the occasion of ADF - Paris Packaging Week - which took place from June 29 to 30, Eviosys, leader in metal packaging, announces the launch of its latest innovation, EvioLink. This unique QR code printed directly on each product meets consumers' expectations (personalization and renewed consumer experience) while providing manufacturers with a solution to their major challenges: sustainable development, traceability and anti-counterfeiting.

EvioLink. a new personalized and infinitely customizable service

Constantly aware of the latest consumer trends, Eviosys takes a dynamic approach to innovation that reconciles the needs of its customers and those of end consumers, while respecting the environment. The launch of EvioLink for its promotional packaging and aerosol activities offers countless possibilities.

For manufacturers, EvioLink brings :

- Infinite personalization: brands will be able to upload specific content on each QR code to create a unique experience based on the person's profile or the place where they consume the product. Eviosys will also be able to offer solutions directly to customers with its partner Kurz, a world leader in marking and finishing technologies on various media.

- An anti-counterfeiting solution: brands, having each code, will be able to confirm if duplicates are scanned or if an incorrect code is scanned. According to the latest data published by the EUIPO, Europol and the OECD, counterfeiting costs Europe more than 15 billion euros per year.

- Enhanced traceability in case of product recall. EvioLink allows to prevent risks linked to product non-conformity and to know all the steps of the production and marketing process. Brands will be able to quickly stop the distribution of a recalled product and avoid many of the problems that could result from it.

- A solution for sustainable development. Each product can be scanned at different stages of the supply chain, allowing brands to transparently communicate data on the carbon footprint of transportation, location and filling date.

For end consumers:

- A renewed consumer experience can be offered. For online sales, the consumer will be able to download and integrate his own content in the QR code: digital card, video...

- Increased inclusiveness: the QR code allows all consumers to access product information. With over 30 million visually impaired people in Europe, EvioLink could provide essential information to these people.

New perspectives for the group

After receiving the codes from the customer, Eviosys prints them directly on the packaging. For the moment, this printing is only done in Eviosys' factory in Châtillon-sur-Seine, France. However, this new solution could be deployed in the group's various factories in Europe. Eviolink thus opens new growth and development perspectives for the group.

Isabelle Le Graët - Marketing, Communication and Sustainable Development Manager said: " We are constantly evolving our packaging concepts to make Hs modern, convenient and unique. EvioLink allows consumers to personalize the shopping experience and build trust with brands, we offer unique QR codes embedded in the packaging design. Printing a unique QR code is a technical feat and a major challenge. EvioLink is a testimony of our constant will to bring innovative solutions for our industrial customers and end consumers, while respecting the environment and opening new opportunities for the group.."

The Cosmetic, Measurement & Testing conference confirms the arrival of Artificial Intelligence in testing.

Co-organized by the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster and the University of CY Cergy Paris Université, the 4th International Congress on Cosmetic Measurement and Testing (CO.ME.T) brings together 200 researchers and leading equipment manufacturers in the field of testing, measurement and objectivity of product interactions with skin and hair.

The two-day congress will focus on 4 major topical themes:

  1. From raw materials to finished products. New assessment methods for analyzing and controlling cosmetic materials, from raw materials to finished products.
  2. Skin-product-environment interactions. How can new in-vitro, in vivo and ex-vivo skin models detect and characterize particles in tissues?
  3. Instrumentation and sensory evaluation. From physical measurement to cognitive science, how can we optimize products at an early stage, before panel testing?
  4. Intelligent, connected beauty tools for personalization. The latest advances in AI and smart tools that can be adapted and developed for cosmetic science, for diagnostic purposes.

The congress brings together the world's leading measurement and cosmetics specialists, including four keynote speakers who will address the main themes of the plenary sessions prior to the 21 oral presentations.

Two prizes will be awarded to the 35 posters submitted for the congress:

Young researcher's prize awarded byCY Cergy Paris Université and Cosmetic Valley (€1,000)

Innovation prize awarded by the Communauté d'Agglomération de Cergy-Pontoise (€1,000)

The Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster mobilizes its troops in Rouen for a general assembly in solidarity and fighting spirit.

Meeting on June 28, 2022 at the Extraordinary and Ordinary General Meetings, Cosmetic Valley's members unanimously adopted all the resolutions put to them, from the modification of the cluster's bylaws and the conditions for appointing its president, to the return to the fundamentals of its business model (more than 2/3 of revenues from the private sector, mandatory surplus for the year, sales of nearly €5 million).

Marc-Antoine Jamet recalled that the 2021 financial year had seen Cosmetic Valley present on all fronts. The majority of events were held in person, with the Cosmetic 360 international cosmetics innovation trade show in Paris taking place in October, and a number of initiatives were undertaken to meet the challenges facing the industry in 3 areas:

The need to play as a team

This has always been a priority for the cluster, a society of equals between SMEs and major groups, suppliers and principals, a vector of open innovation and collaborative innovation. It has now become imperative if we are to make a success of the sector's ecological transition and face up to the economic turbulence. That's why, in partnership with the public authorities, Cosmetic Valley wants to extend the momentum launched, thanks to Agnès Pannier-Runacher, then Minister of Industry, with the creation of an industry committee specific to the sector and the états généraux de la cosmétique that the cluster organized. The cluster is now eagerly awaiting the launch of phase 5 of the cluster policy, so that its mission as national coordinator of the sector can be reinforced, its resources consolidated and new cooperative ventures established with public authorities. In this context, despite the rearguard action of a few local associations, Cosmetic Valley's objective remains to federate the international efforts of its members under the banner of a national brand, Cosmetic Valley France, and to promote, with Business France, "Made in France".

Focus on Europe

The opening of a branch office in Brussels and the launch of an S3 platform bringing together Cosmetic Valley and other European clusters that have chosen to focus on cosmetics, illustrate the cluster's determination to spearhead innovation and the cosmetics industry in Europe, at a time when many legal deadlines (changes to Reach and cosmetics regulations) will be looming in 2022.

The need to deepen regional cooperation

Following the example of the partnerships set up this year with Guyana, where Cosmetic Valley inaugurated a branch that will be an asset in its strategy to promote biodiversity, and soon with Martinique, and with Ile-de-France, the continent's leading economic region, other territories should follow in 2022, and negotiations have already been initiated in recent months with Hauts-de-France. By pursuing this territorial network, a veritable German-style industrial fabric, by taking its members international, and by driving the industry forward, Cosmetic Valley is giving itself the means, with new resources, new partners and new outlets, to maintain France's position as world leader in an increasingly competitive world.

Marc-Antoine Jamet declared: " These are difficult times, but they can and must also be times of opportunity. We need to be activists, not waiters. The city of Rouen, which hosted our cluster's annual general meeting, has reinvented itself and, while meeting the challenges of the times, has regained its appeal. This is an inspiration for Cosmetic Valley, which, together with its public and private partners, and backed by the wealth and dynamism of its members, is launching new projects to give the industry the means to succeed in its ecological, digital, geopolitical and technological transformation, in order to maintain its global leadership. My presidency has no other aims ".
