In its 2019 suncare range, Clarins presents a nomadic case for which the brand has sealed a close collaboration with Texen Beauty Partners.
Its tinted formula, with a fluid, fine, light texture and a dry, velvety finish, gives all skin types a luminous, tanned complexion and effectively protects them from the sun and free radicals.
This compact case slips easily into a handbag for touch-ups in all circumstances. Screen-printed, it contains a mirror in its lid, and a tray for collecting the formula with a PU sponge. It is injected in ABS to guarantee perfect compatibility with the cream.

A foolproof patent
To meet the brand's need for an ultra-protective pack that's easy to pack and convenient to use, Texen Beauty Partners has opted for the exclusivity of a Korean industrial partner. This partner has developed a patented airless system based on an inverted piston that descends to dispense the cream, rather than the other way round. In addition to providing absolute protection for the product, this system increases its restitution rate.
Another subtlety in favor of easier packaging for the brand: the case is delivered in 2 components, "fillable" from the bottom before snapping the shutter.

 Absolute cleanliness
This box has been designed to guarantee real hygiene quality:
- The label positioned on the formula's outlet orifices ensures tamper-evidence before first use.
- The formula's smooth, generous dispensing platform makes for easy, clean gripping.

Ensuring optimum hygiene conditions, this pack combines air-tightness, optimal restitution and application, and practicality of use in all circumstances thanks to its pocket format (11.5 ml capacity).

To support the development of mini products within the group, Carestia Arcade Beauty, leader in perfume discovery through sampling, is stepping up its production of small cases and sample cards. In this way, the site responds to brands' expectations by sharpening its technical skills and investing accordingly.
Printing, folding, gluing, ultra-fine die-cutting, gilding registration... the Carestia factory is expanding its expertise to meet the growing demand from brands for miniature cardboard packs. The range of machines is being expanded to enhance technical expertise and encourage flexibility and competitiveness, particularly for short production runs.

Co-creation

Carestia supports its customers with technical and creative advice and the preliminary production of test mock-ups. The company then applies its expertise to the choice of materials, printing and finishing techniques, color development...
"Our cases and cardboard boxes business accounts for a growing share of our sales. This growth phenomenon can be explained by a craze for a material with low ecological impact, the success of small production runs, and of course, the technical and aesthetic rendering offered by this type of manufacturing", explains Marie-Hélène Marcelli, Director of Carestia.

Market of the future

To support its development in this segment of sample or mini-product cartons, Carestia is continuing to innovate and is setting out to conquer new markets such as spirits and delicatessen.
