Stoelzle Parfumerie & Cosmétique is behind the Phoenix collection, a line of glass perfume bottles that meets market expectations for sustainable packaging, offering an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional perfume bottles.

The Phoenix collection combines aesthetic lines with environmental responsibility. It offers brands a consistent range of designs for all bottle sizes. One of its assets is its reduced weight. The glass is lightened, reducing its environmental impact and CO2 emissions. It is nonetheless sturdy, with enhanced practicality.

The classic cylindrical shape of Phoenix bottles adapts to the various fragrance ranges already available on the market, to which it is possible to add a small nomad bottle and a large refill bottle.

The 10 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml bottles feature an SNI15 neck, making them fully refillable and offering consumers a sustainable way to extend product life. The larger 150 and 200 ml bottles, fitted with GCMI 24-410 necks, offer greater flexibility. They can be used as refills for smaller formats, or for other products such as body care and lotions.

The entire Phoenix collection is designed for easy recycling, with screw rings for quick and easy separation of components during disposal.

An independent French company specializing in the decoration of recyclable glass and aluminum containers, Prad's customers include prestigious brands such as Cartier, Coach, Diptyque and Jimmy Choo.

Reductions over the last five years of 50 % in water and waste consumption, 40 % in VOC emissions and 20 % in energy consumption have, in particular, enabled the SME, founded 50 years ago near Valence (26), to position itself among the top 1 % companies worldwide assessed by EcoVadis.

EcoVadis, "the world's largest CSR policy assessment organization".The award also recognized Prad's actions in implementing its diversity, equity and inclusion policies. Among other things, the independent company focuses on raising awareness and preventing harassment and violence against women.

On the strength of this recognition, Prad is stepping up its commitment to CSR and has set itself the target of a dry factory by 2030. The Drôme-based SME has also carried out its first carbon audit and is committed to its transition.

High-end decoration on glass and aluminum

The company - which participates in the UN Global Compact program - relies on its teams and new equipment to offer brands ecodesign right from the laboratory phase, integrating virtuous production processes. Prad also plays an advisory role in the management of production waste and promotes systematic recyclability.

Prad masters the technologies of liquid metallization, lacquering, laser finishing, screen printing, pad printing and hot stamping. Used individually or in combination, these technologies enable a wide range of renderings, nuances, color and/or material effects, and extreme line precision.

Since 1905, Satab, an independent family-owned company, has been creating, weaving, braiding and knitting ribbons, braids, straps, cords... Specializing in narrow textiles, the company presented two printing techniques at the Luxe Pack trade show - held from September 30 to October 2, 2024 in Monaco: inkless printing and 3D printing.

The Haute-Laure-based company unveiled its latest innovation at the show: 3D printing on narrow textiles. This makes it possible to create volume prints, up to a maximum height of 50 mm, on rigid or elastic ribbons.

Thanks to opaque or transparent resins and an almost unlimited color palette, Satab promises unprecedented design freedom. The 600,000 colors available, plus the Pantone range in matte and gloss finishes, make it possible to create unprecedented effects. With the ability to 3D print on a variety of materials and ribbon widths, this technology offers the possibility of creating unique colored volumetric patterns, and opens up a whole new world of possibilities for packaging, perfume caps, spirits bottles and jewelry cases. 

With a view to protecting the environment, Satab has also added two new inkless printing processes to its printing expertise. Embossing, which consists of hot stamping, causes embossing and creates tone-on-tone designs on ribbons; color is replaced by relief.

Laser marking uses a beam of light to produce a durable mark on the textile surface; the color is "tattooed" onto the ribbon. These two printing processes require no water or ink, and enable ribbons to be personalized without impacting their ecological footprint.

For several years now, Satab has been developing an ever-expanding range of ribbons made from eco-responsible materials. This collection includes linen ribbons certified Masters of Linen, guaranteeing the traceability of premium linen grown in Europe, as well as ribbons in Tencel FSC, ecological and biodegradable fibers obtained from wood pulp, Gots cotton ribbons, paper yarns and GRS-certified fibers. The range's attractiveness is further enhanced by its inkless printing option.

Inkless printing processes represent the transition to packaging with a lower impact on the environment.

Berlin Packaging, a group specializing in the supply of glass, plastic and metal packaging and closures, presented its latest innovations for the beauty sector at the Luxe Pack trade show held in Monaco from September 30 to October 2, 2024. The company also announced the rebranding of its subsidiary Premi Industries at the event.

The Luxe Refill collection, with its sleek design and replaceable PP inner cup, and the Loose Powder accessories collection were among the products on show.

The Pockii collection, appreciated for its rounded, wraparound design, has been enriched with three new references: 50 ml and 100 ml glass bottles and the 50 ml Pockii Refill jar. With its rounded profile, Pockii offers an original, modern aesthetic that makes it easily recognizable. 

The decoration proposed for the entire Pockii line by the designers at Studio One Eleven is characterized by a matte finish and tone-on-tone accessories, capable of offering a look with strong visual impact. The rounded-bottom design, common to all references in the collection, adds a distinctive touch that appeals in particular to the youngest and most design-conscious consumers, according to the brand.

Last but not least, Heko's sophisticated design for refillable fragrances stands out among the company's new products. Heko joins the Infusion Refill and Euphoria Refill fragrance collections, designed for a constantly evolving sector.

The bottles in the Heko collection, available in 50, 30 and 15 ml sizes, have a modern, elegant and minimalist design, with clean, square lines that give them a versatility that can be combined with capsules of different materials and designs.

Thanks to an optimized use of glass, Heko bottles are lighter than traditional bottles of the same capacity. "The sophisticated design, combined with refillable functionality, makes Heko a perfect solution for brands wishing to combine aesthetics and sustainability in perfumery, positioning themselves in an increasingly demanding and environmentally friendly market. "says Berlin Packaging.
