Paris Packaging Week is added to the list of events eligible for government support for new French exhibitors

French SMEs exhibiting for the first time at the 2022 or 2023 editions will be eligible for assistance of up to 50% of the cost of their stand, as part of public aid to the events sector.
Easyfairs announces that it has won a court case to add Paris Packaging Week to the list of events for which the French government will grant first-time French exhibitors aid towards the cost of their stand.
The decree was updated yesterday (May 16), adding the June 2022 and January 2023 editions of Paris Packaging Week to the list of events included in the program, which is designed to help reboot the French events industry and the global economy after the Covid period. 
Paris Packaging Week had initially been omitted from the plan, which applies to events with over 500 exhibitors; but a legal challenge by Easyfairs to amend the law led to the event being added to the legal text yesterday.
Under this program, French SMEs that did not exhibit at the last Paris Packaging Week will be able to claim 50% of the cost of their stand from the government. 

In practice, this means that for the June 2022 edition, support is open to companies who did not exhibit at the January 2020 edition, including those who have already booked their stand. For the January 2023 edition, assistance is open to companies that did not exhibit at the June 2022 edition. SMEs are defined as companies with sales of less than €50 million and fewer than 250 employees. Under the scheme, companies can apply for up to 50% of the cost of their stand, with a ceiling per company of €12,500 and a ceiling per event of €1.3 million. According to the government, a total budget of 96.3 million 

euros has been allocated to this initiative. Assistance is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to submit any application to the program.

Josh Brooks, Director of Paris Packaging Week, said: "We're delighted to have won this challenge to change the law and support the community of French SMEs exhibiting at our event.

"Although we are an international event, we know that many of our visitors come to the event looking for French suppliers and the "Made in France" label for their packaging. We hope that the addition of Paris Packaging Week to this government scheme will help stimulate the activity of a wider community of French suppliers and bring more innovation to the packaging market."

Fair trade and environmental issues: L'Occitane is committed

Within the framework of the Fair Trade fortnight, L'Occitane en Provence confirms its position in favor of an ethical economic model and commits to accompany all its iconic ingredient producers in their fair trade certification process. Sustainable and structuring, this certification is an essential prerequisite to meet the ambitious objective that L'Occitane has set for itself: to increase the resilience of all in the face of future climatic and social impacts.

L'Occitane and shea butter, a successful model of a fair trade industry

Since its beginnings, L'Occitane has chosen an ethical and sustainable approach: to protect nature and support the people who take care of it. This pioneering approach began in 1980, when the brand's founder met with women who produce Shea butter in Burkina Faso. The foundations of a fair and sustainable partnership were immediately established: the brand buys directly from women's cooperatives, from whom it purchases a processed product with high added value.

In 2009, obtaining the Ecocert Fair Trade certification, according to the international Fair for Life standard, will recognize the value of this partnership established on multi-year contracts, the implementation of pre-financing and the guarantee of a fair purchase price. For L'Occitane, it is the recognition of an exceptional collaboration participating in the preservation of traditional know-how and the improvement of living conditions for these communities of women.

On the solid foundation of this fair trade certification, L'Occitane is launching the Resist program (resilience, ecology, strengthening, independence, structuring and training) in 2018. "We have helped more than 10,000 women to preserve the shea trees of which they are the guardians, to modernize and limit the environmental impacts of their butter production processes and, above all, to become less dependent on L'Occitane's orders by developing their portfolio of activities and clients.says Justine Humbert, sustainable channels manager. Symbolizing a policy of continuous development, the Resist program consolidates the foundations of a sustainable future for the shea industry. The "exemplary" nature of this supply chain was praised by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 2013 and 2019.

Fair trade and agroecology, a sustainable goal

Building on its experience with shea butter, the L'Occitane brand is now committed to supporting all of its producers of iconic ingredients in Provence and Corsica, so that they can obtain fair trade certification by 2025. Among the sectors concerned are almond, cade wood, immortelle, lavender, rose and verbena. "This is an extremely structuring approach for securing our supplies. The recent health and political crises we have experienced have proven the need for multi-year contracts and the vital value of lasting partnerships.explains Justine Humbert. And this is and will be even more the case with the environmental challenges of our time. For producers, fair trade ensures the sustainability of their operations and allows them to invest in the future. "Fair trade is part of the solution, it offers everyone a much better resilience in an unstable environment."

For L'Occitane, there is no agro-ecological transition without economic equity: fair trade establishes the prerequisites for the ecological transition. In order to support this certification process while accompanying its producers in their necessary agro-ecological transition, L'Occitane has decided to participate in the creation of the Agroecology and Fair Trade association in 2021, bringing together some fifteen partner farms. 

Its objectives are multiple: to enable its members to obtain fair trade certification by providing them with the necessary associative framework, to gain access to the fair trade development fund once certification has been obtained, and to pool learning and share knowledge in agroecology. In particular, the association benefits from the support of agricultural engineers from the Biodiversity and Sustainable Ingredients department and external experts to deploy experiments in agroforestry or soil cover. " While producers are on the front line of climate change, they are also part of the solution. It is our responsibility to implement commercial partnerships but also technical, financial and human support that will enable them to initiate this ecological transition. We must share the risks inherent in these changes in practices.according to Justine Humbert. She concludes: "Promoting equity, inclusion and regenerative agriculture is not philanthropy, it is the only possible response of our companies to today's challenges. It's also the only possible path as citizens, as parents, to provide a bright future for our children."

Verpack Group invests in digital printing

Since its first acquisitions, the Verpack Group has based its growth on extending its range of services. Historically recognized for its excellence in offset printing for boxes and cases, the company has added a digital printing activity concentrated at its new Tours site. The latter has just commissioned an HP Indigo 15 k HD press. This equipment meets the needs of brands for small and medium-sized packaging runs. It will also be able to handle delayed personalization projects that are more difficult to manage with traditional printing.

High value-added service

Originally, the PLV 37 workshop in Touraine offered printers a top-of-the-range service in screen printing, laminating, hot stamping, embossing, gluing, etc. With this investment, it is set to become a complementary site to the group's cases and boxes activity, particularly for short runs or multi-reference printing. 

A state-of-the-art machine

The HP Indigo 15 k HD Press is HP's latest technical platform for the next 5 years. The manufacturer anticipates upgrades and supports each of its customers, from getting started to ramping up and customizing the machine as production progresses.

This new-generation machine features an HD laser head. This guarantees the high level of finesse required by luxury codes. Its quality is equivalent to that of offset, if not superior, especially for images (close to photo quality). It produces a fine screen for a flat rendering identical to offset spot colors.

For L'Oréal, the Texen teams are pooling their expertise around a dual international launch

By

-

The star of the year, Maybelline's Curl Bounce mascara features a vitamin-rich design and a textured finish reminiscent of a Bluetooth speaker. L'Oréal has entrusted Texen with the dual launch of the product in two references in Europe and the United States.

The technical nature of the product and an incompressible schedule required close collaboration between the brand's teams and those of Texen in the United States and France.

An exemplary collaboration

Validation of key phases, harmonization of decorating processes, multiple tests, mold manufacturing, automation of industrial operations, etc.: according to Texen, this project owes its success to a winning human and industrial synergy. According to Texen, this project owes its success to a winning human and industrial synergy. Added to this is the multicultural communication and complementary nature of our businesses, honed by regular exchanges within the group. This strength is a major component of the "One Texen" culture.

The product development process was managed locally, then duplicated internationally under the control of a dedicated team.

This organization made it possible to maintain a schedule comparable to that of a local project, and even to absorb its contingencies. In a context of remote exchanges, risk management and validation methods have proved their worth.

Objectives worldwide

Texen managed this "transatlantic" project from France (development of molds, implementation of decorating processes, industrial automation, centralization of validations...). Production was then carried out in parallel in France and the USA, under the supervision of the brand's local teams.

The major challenge was to obtain identical 100 % rendering between the two parts of the product (bottle and cap) transformed using two different processes. Numerous tests and adjustments were carried out on the textured effect on the one hand, and on the decorations on the other.

Finally, Texen produced the wringer and supplied a brush sourced from its long-standing partners in the United States and Europe.

Maybelline's Curl Bounce is available in two formulas and two finishes: cream and waterproof in the United States and throughout Europe.
