G.pivaudran, a specialist in metal processing, showcased its latest achievements at the Luxe Pack trade show held in Monaco on September 30, October 1 and 2, 2024.

The company, a partner of luxury brands, has been involved in the creation of two fragrance lines.

She created the anodized aluminum plate and cap that adorn the bottles of one of the new season's launches. The cap features a fine engraving on the top. Its special anodizing gives it a high-gloss effect that underlines the purity of the object. 

A fourfold technical challenge was met by the g.pivaudran teams: curving the curvature of the plate, enhancing the design, mastering the angles and sublimating the complex shaping of the chimney. The experts at g.pivaudran were also able to adapt the process to the different formats, each with its own specific features. 

Particular attention has been paid to the color of the hood and nameplate, to match the overall look.

"The challenges of luxury brands drive us every day. With the cap and nameplate for this new fragrance, our teams have risen to an unprecedented challenge with flying colors. Every project has its share of novelty and technical challenge. This project demonstrates the expertise of g.pivaudran, who know how to deploy the technical skills of their trade for each brand's projects.said Marc Pivaudran, President of g.pivaudran.

A silk-screened anodized plate for Montblanc

G.pivaudran also took part in the creation of Montblanc Collection, the first fragrance collection from the house of Montblanc, comprising four fragrances to be launched in May 2024 in 125 ml sizes - Black Meisterstück, Patchouli Ink, Extreme Leather and Vetiver Glacier.

Each bottle is adorned with a shiny silver anodized plate enhanced by a black silk-screen print. This decoration is a tribute to the iconic Meisterstück pen, the German company's flagship piece, which celebrated the centenary of its creation in 2024.

G.pivaudran designed the angle at the top of the plate, which follows the shape of the bottle. His expertise was also evident in the finesse and precise positioning of the silkscreen.

"All brand projects become projects of the heart. This was all the more the case with the fragrance collection from the iconic house of Montblanc. Transposing the distinctive aesthetic of the Meisterstück pen onto a bottle was an exciting challenge. We are proud to have contributed to this beautiful project.said Hervé Delaigue, Sales and Development Director.

G.pivaudran will soon have a new automatic anodizing line. Installed at the Souillac site in the Lot region, this latest-generation line will be inaugurated in November 2024. It will enable the company to double its current surface treatment capacity, while reducing water, energy and chemical consumption by a third. The facility is part of a two-pronged approach: to boost production and accelerate the company's CSR transformation. This €7.5 million investment will be accompanied by the recruitment of some fifty new employees over the next three years.

The Heinz-Glas group has announced that its innovative glass closure for high-end perfumery and cosmetics products is now an integral part of its standard range. 

While plastic closures continue to play an important role, this glass cap offers an elegant alternative that enhances the luxurious look of products by bringing the aesthetic and functional advantages of glass, already widely used for bottles and jars, to the closure.

"Our glass closure is more than just a functional component: it's a statement of quality and style. As part of our standard range, it is now easily accessible to our customers".says Heinz-Glas.

As many decoration options as for bottles

The advantages of this cap are manifold, thanks to high-quality materials and advanced decoration techniques.

All the sophisticated decoration options offered on bottles can be considered for glass stoppers: exclusive coatings, prints, metallization and customized designs. According to the manufacturer, each stopper can be transformed into a unique element that perfectly complements the overall look of its cliebts' products.

The rotary applicator for N°1 de Chanel Sérum Yeux Revitalisant and the refillable packaging with removable ball from Westman Atelier, two patented concepts, received the Formes de Luxe awards respectively for the categories applicators and Refill & Reload on the occasion of the Luxe Pack trade show held in Monaco from September 30 to October 3, 2024.

These awards recognize TNT Group's innovation, and confirm its diversification into primary packaging for luxury skincare products. 

Historically recognized for its expertise in metal (zamak, aluminum), which was mainly expressed in the production of unusual niche perfume caps, TNT Group had established itself on lipstick and make-up packaging projects, demonstrating its ability to work with all types of materials. The Group continues to pursue its strategy of bringing its customers' projects to life, across all product segments. 

What all the projects entrusted to the company have in common is their complexity. "Since its creation 11 years ago, TNT Group has enjoyed strong growth, generated by a winning combination of a dynamic niche perfume market and our engineering know-how, the heart of TNT Group's reactor, explains Thomas Diezinger, co-founder. To pursue this growth, it was crucial for us to complete our offer in the luxury make-up and skincare segments, knowing that our specific positioning and technical expertise lead us to cooperate on very high value-added projects. We are very grateful to Chanel and Westman Atelier for believing in us.  

TNT Group designed the massage accessory that accompanies Sisley's Supremÿa La Nuit Le Grand Soin Yeux Anti-Âge, the spatula for Chanel's Sublimage skincare, and the packaging for Sisley's RALs and balms, some of which are refillable. Jimmy Choo, Guerlain and Louboutin have also entrusted the design of packaging for their make-up lines to TNT Group. The development of packaging designed to hold and apply a precious skincare formula is a further step in this direction.

 " Beyond our technical expertise, we rely on our values, as well as the stability and commitment of our teams around the world. Our growth has been sustained since our creation in 2013. Our challenge is to consolidate what we have built together, with the trust of our brands, by continuing to structure our business and skilfully reconciling the enthusiasm that characterizes us with the maturity we have acquired. "concludes Toby Cattermole, the other founder of the group based in Hong Kong, New York, Paris and Shanghai.

At Luxe Pack Monaco 2024, Procos, a German manufacturer of high-end packaging, unveils new folding cartons featuring a magnet-free closure.

The Sunshine Box and its lighter variant, the Sunshine Light Box, renew the Yoga Box and its lighter version Yoga Light created by Procos in 2020, with an eco-responsible approach based on lightness, material savings and the absence of magnets.

The two new box models from Procos are both made of cardboard, including a lighter corrugated cardboard for the Sunshine Light Box. What sets them apart is their closing system.

The paper tab found on the Yoga Box and Yoga Light now has an alternative. For its 2024 box versions, Procos has optimized its single-material closure system for even smoother, easier handling, and an ever more elegant design. The system, which is totally invisible from the outside, consists of an ingenious notch configuration on the front wall inside the can, combined with a button with a bevel that attaches to it. The closing click and resistance of a magnetized button remain!

The Sunshine Box and its light version also feature a tray for products, held in place by two Tencel ribbons.
