The new show's mission is to connect the global community of designers, specifiers and suppliers of packaging for premium and luxury beverages, and to facilitate the transfer of technology and inspiration with the perfume and cosmetics sector.
Easyfairs, the multi-format trade show organizer and event venue owner, announces the launch of the new PLD - Packaging of Premium & Luxury Drinks trade show, which will bring together designers, innovators and packaging suppliers to the international premium and luxury drinks market.
The first edition of the event will take place on January 29 and 30, 2020 at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles in conjunction with ADF&PCD, the world's leading trade show for the design and development of packaging for the perfumery, cosmetics, aerosol and dispensing markets.
PLD is designed for all those involved in creating packaging for wines, spirits and other premium alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It will offer the sector a platform for creative inspiration, new technical solutions and a wide range of events to meet peers.
Animations and conferences, given by experts from brands, design agencies and distributors, will give an overview of the latest trends and innovations in this extremely dynamic market.
PLD's joint event with ADF&PCD will provide a unique platform for the transfer of knowledge, ideas, inspiration and influence between packaging designers in the premium beverage market and those in fragrances and cosmetics. In addition, PLD will be a partner of Pentawards, the prestigious packaging design competition.
Paul MacDonald, Global Director of Packaging Shows at Easyfairs, explains:
"Packaging professionals from the premium and luxury beverage market have already been visiting ADF&PCD for several years to research the next technology or trends in the fragrance and cosmetics market that they can apply to their own projects." So it was a natural step to strengthen this relationship at the heart of the event, and to create a genuine platform to facilitate these exchanges by developing a new international event in Paris, dedicated to this extremely creative market.
"The premium and luxury drinks market is the source of some of the most innovative and prestigious packaging, and I'm looking forward to seeing PLD encourage and stimulate the inspiration and creativity of this exciting market," explains Paul MacDonald.

Nuxe naturally turned to Note d'Aptar Beauty + Home to offer its new Prodigieux® fragrance a case worthy of its original, intense and sensual juice.
"Note" offers a delicate and precious gesture to deposit the right amount of perfumed essence on the skin. A soft, precise and progressive application, one drop at a time... and the fragrance comes to rest on the wrist, the neck or on a piece of clothing to perfume only the desired area.
NOTE, a state-of-the-art technology
The result of 5 years of research, NOTE is an innovative applicator, inspired by an ancestral perfumery tradition when the fragrance was deposited on the skin with a glass cap. The NOTE system integrates a transparent applicator that automatically refills with each use.
Mill designs and manufactures metal labels and decorations that mark luxury products and their packaging with the designer's signature. In the field of perfumery, the specialist has had the honor - for the past three years - of applying its know-how to the 26 eaux de parfum that currently make up the Maison Mizensir collection. This year, the collection has been enriched by four new creations: Lovely Alba, Cologne du Mate, Cologne de Figuier and the latest, Célèbes Wood.
"Célèbes Wood is a wood of spices. It's an instant invitation to travel, but in a totally dreamlike way," says its creator Alberto Morillas. This new eau de parfum (average retail price 190 euros, 100 ml) completes a range of compositions that are sometimes fresh and citrusy, sometimes sensual and carnal, sometimes frank and masculine.
A powerful plate, sometimes gold, sometimes silver For the entire collection, Alberto Morillas has chosen a sober, elegant 13.5 cm bottle that lets each fragrance tell its own story. At the top, the 42 x 42 mm square label is striking. Referring to the origins of the house, it bears its name, its seal, the name of the creation and its master perfumer.
Aluminum combines incredible lightness and strength The Mill team recommended this material to Maison Mizensir for both aesthetic and technical reasons. "In our desire to obtain homogeneous, high-quality aspects, aluminum gives very good results. And over and above the aesthetics, which must be beyond reproach, the choice of aluminum also enables us to internalize the entire Mizensir sheet manufacturing process. In this way, we optimize production, which has a positive impact on delivery times", explains Matthias Bodard, Head of Luxury Markets.
Chemical etching adds value to marking Depending on the composition of the fragrance, this marking technique plays on contrasts between matte and gloss, and hollow and relief effects. To achieve this, after screen-printing the targeted areas, the plates are placed in acid or alkaline baths, the duration of which determines the desired engraving depth. For gold labels, a finishing varnish is applied to sublimate the hue.
