The Cutting-Edge Round Box by Rissmann is aimed at perfume, delicatessen, wine and spirits brands, as well as the worlds of fashion, leather goods and high-end electronics.
While round boxes usually have straight edges, Rissmann innovates by setting them up as a real design element. The elaborate sculpture of the base and lid edges, judiciously positioned in relation to each other, reveals a three-dimensional universe to the eye.
A mountain-shaped circular cutout
When the box is closed, a circular mountain-shaped cut-out reveals a shimmering gold gradient. Suitable papers from Fedrigoni's Sirio Color range were selected for both the interior and exterior linings.
Customized cutting and finishing options
Customized die-cutting and a wealth of combinations of wrapping papers, decoration techniques and finishing options allow us to express a strong visual identity and build a narrative specific to each brand. This territory of expression is added to that of the box's exterior surface for enhanced impact. Diameter and height adapt to the volume of the product contained, guaranteeing a perfectly secure hold. Production is automated once specifications have been established.

Seppic launches Sepibright, a nutraceutical active ingredient derived from strawberry leaves. Backed by a clinical study, this eco-designed ingredient is presented for cognition and ageing well.
Sepibright marks the arrival of Seppic's first nootropic ingredient. It demonstrates benefits for long-term memory and learning, as well as stress reduction. As the world's population ages, cognitive decline has become a major health concern. This natural process, which can begin as early as the thirties, often translates into a progressive slowdown in memory and information processing speed. Preserving cognitive capacity through proactive nutrition is now a priority for some consumers, and the market for such solutions is booming.
Estimated at around $11 billion in 2024, the global market for supplements dedicated to brain health is expected to reach $23 billion by 2030, posting a robust CAGR of 13 %. In 2024, the memory enhancement segment dominated the market, accounting for almost 25 % of market share.
A premium nutraceutical ingredient derived from strawberry leaves
In response to this need, Seppic has designed Sepibright, a premium nutraceutical active ingredient derived from strawberry leaves. Backed by a clinical study, this eco-designed ingredient draws its efficacy from its standardized composition of polyphenols and ellagitannins. These compounds play an important role in improving cognitive performance, thanks to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out to demonstrate the efficacy of Sepibright in 98 healthy senior men and women aged 60 to 80 with cognitive difficulties. For 12 weeks, participants received either a daily dose of 300 mg Sepibright or a placebo.
Visual episodic memory: a significant improvement was observed as early as 6 weeks, marked by an 18 % reduction in errors and an 11 % increase in memory score.
Verbal episodic memory: in 60-69 year-olds, Sepibright significantly improved verbal memory after 12 weeks, with a 25 % increase in the number of words recalled (memorization) and a 5.5 % increase in immediate recognition ability.
Perceived stress: Sepibright significantly reduced perceived stress levels in just 6 weeks, a key factor in protecting cognitive performance.
A circular economy approach
Anchored in a circular economy approach, Sepibright is 100 % French in origin, and comes mainly from Plougastel, a commune in Brittany renowned worldwide for the quality of its strawberries. Thanks to a five-year collaboration with local farmers, Seppic transforms traditionally unused strawberry leaves into a high value-added active ingredient, via a solvent-free extraction process inspired by the traditional uses of strawberry leaves in infusions.
For Salma Zahidi, Nutrition Product Manager: « With the launch of Sepibright, Seppic has positioned itself in the brain health market. This ingredient bridges the gap between clinical rigor and responsible commitment, meeting the expectations of consumers who want to take care of their cognitive abilities. "
Denim is making its mark in the world of luxury, with promotional items designed by Pure Trade for brands such as Jean-Paul Gaultier and Lanvin.
Pure Trade has brought denim to the fore by adapting it to the identity of luxury brands. This trend is part of a visual and lifestyle coding approach, embodying luxury that is both casual and accessible. In the perfumery sector, denim is used in promotional items designed to broaden the brands' fashion universe while modernizing their image.
Creations for Jean-Paul Gaultier
For Jean-Paul Gaultier, Pure Trade has developed a set comprising a case, wallet and purse. Made from denim cotton, these pieces feature a natural-tone bias, contrasting saddle stitching and a «Gaultier Parfums» signature embroidered on a sewn-on textile label.
Production for Lanvin

At Luxe Pack New York, Baralan presents for the first time the new Last Drop System, an applicator system with push-button mechanism designed to optimize product use and reduce waste.
The new device incorporates a button-activated mechanism that allows the applicator to reach the product at the bottom of the bottle with a simple, controlled gesture.
Optimize product use and reduce waste
This solution eliminates the need to unscrew and screw the brush several times when the product is almost finished. It facilitates use, reduces product waste in the final stages and improves overall system efficiency.
" This innovation stems from an analysis of actual usage patterns, where unused product remaining inside the bottle represents a loss, both in terms of formulation and packaging, » comments Maurizio Ficcadenti, R&D Manager at Baralan. « We have transformed this critical problem into a practical, immediate technical solution that can be integrated into existing industrial processes. "
This innovation also responds to the growing consumer focus on waste reduction, particularly in the make-up segment, where residual product often represents a significant problem. The system allows maximum use of the formula, contributing to more efficient and conscious consumption.
Flexible application and adaptability to different applicators
The system is designed to ensure flexible application and adaptability to different types of applicators, including nail polish brushes, lip brushes, mascara, concealer and other make-up solutions, broadening the application possibilities for brands.
The brush is also equipped with an automatic return system that retracts it into position when the cap is closed, for a cleaner, more precise and user-friendly experience, aligned with the expectations of contemporary consumers.
Polypropylene, polyethylene and glass packaging
In terms of materials, the component is made from polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), a design choice geared towards recyclability and simplification of end-of-life processes. This approach is in line with Baralan's ongoing commitment to developing solutions aligned with evolving European packaging regulations and brand sustainability objectives.
In this context, the solution also aligns itself with the growing trend for glass packaging in the make-up category, increasingly in demand by the market, combining advanced functionality with premium materials for a more sustainable and elevated positioning.

BASF presents at in-cosmetics Global two revolutionary new cosmetic actives, NeoHelix Regenerate and SkinNexus Collag3n.
BASF announced the launch of two new cosmetic actives, NeoHelix Regenerate and SkinNexus Collag3n, at in-cosmetics Global in Paris. These innovations reflect an integrated approach to skin rejuvenation. NeoHelix Regenerate is a precision peptide that enhances the skin's natural repair mechanisms for adaptive collagen renewal. At the same time, SkinNexus Collag3n redefines the concept of collagen banking by introducing a bio-identical collagen III fragment.
NeoHelix Regenerate: an intelligent peptide for skin regeneration
NeoHelix Regenerate represents a significant advance in the field of targeted skin rejuvenation. This peptide is designed not only to support collagen, but also to reinforce the skin's communication and self-repair mechanisms, which are essential in the face of the effects of time and daily stress. In fact, it is particularly active in damaged areas of the skin.
An in vivo study measured the efficacy of NeoHelix Regenerate on biopsies from five women aged 60-70, demonstrating a 41 % reduction in damaged collagen after 56 days of application. In addition, levels of hyaluronic acid in the body increased by 65 % over the same period. Results also indicated visible improvements in skin thickness, tone and forehead wrinkles, outperforming a competing peptide benchmark.
SkinNexus Collag3n: a new approach to collagen banking
With SkinNexus Collag3n, BASF introduces a recombinant collagen III fragment, responding to growing consumer interest in proactive collagen banking solutions. This ingredient is obtained using a biotechnological yeast fermentation process, and is distinguished from traditional products by its 100 % sequence, identical to that of human collagen.
In a 3D dermis model, SkinNexus Collag3n promoted an environment conducive to collagen balance, showing respective increases of +48 % collagen I, +82 % collagen III and +71 % collagen V. In clinical studies with women aged 53 to 70, topical application measured improvements in skin tone and a visible reduction in wrinkles after four weeks, outperforming a market collagen benchmark used at ten times the concentration.
Charm, ethereality, beauty. Just a few words to capture the essence of MOON, the first mascara in glass developed by Lumson, leader of primary cosmetic packaging, in collaboration with Ponzini, global center of excellence in applicators for mascara.
MOON is an entirely ‘Made in Italy’ project and a new milestone in Lumson's evolutionary journey. Following its entry into the world of fragrances in 2025, and coinciding with the 50th anniversary of its foundation, Lumson now delivers on a significant challenge for 2026: to bring glass - a precious, noble material widely used for skincare, foundation and fragrance - to the world of the best-selling and most beloved of all eye make-up products: mascara.
MOON: material, depth, character
MOON is a 10ml glass bottle featuring a clean, streamlined design conceived to enhance the formula within through transparency, reflection and depth. Glass represents a style choice, embodying responsibility and functionality that all ensure greater formula compatibility, improved long-term stability, and full recyclability.
Thanks to Lumson's consolidated experience in the decoration of glass, the bottle can be customised with a variety of decorations and effects, instantly transforming the mascara inside into a luxury object. When paired with Ponzini's brushes, MOON becomes a packaging solution that provides a strong visual impact - created to make a brand's premium and distinctive product stand out.
ALL EYES ON ME: TAILORED PERFORMANCE
Collaboration with Ponzini has brought about the creation of a new collection named ALL EYES ON ME. It consists of three mascara interpretations, combining the MOON glass bottle and three different brushes - developed in-house using proprietary technologies and unique machinery - where each is designed to deliver a specific performance: - Volume and Length: a minimalist brush in elastomer, designed for an intuitive application and complete coverage, even on very short lashes. - Volume - Curl - Separation: a fiber brush featuring a distinctive three-sphere design, engineered for a rich yet controlled product release. - Volume - Definition - Separation: a high-performance multi-fiber brush, created to deliver an all-in-one effect.
Three is just the beginning. Ponzini offers its expertise and an extensive portfolio of applicators - distinguished by shape, fiber and technical configurations - that, together with the MOON glass bottle, mean that brands can develop their own ‘custom’ solutions.
This collaboration between the two companies has generated an open and highly flexible system that blends Lumson's expertise in glass and Ponzini's applicator know-how, providing brands with an instrument that is at once unique and creative.
Aesthetics, luxury, functionality. MOON redefines the universe of mascara through a lens that is new, forward-thinking and responsible, while still preserving performance and preciousness.
THE MEETING OF TWO ITALIAN EXCELLENCES
Founded in 1975, Lumson is a point of reference in the world of primary cosmetic packaging. It is recognised for its innovation, design and Made in Italy quality. With MOON, this Italian company brings glass to the make-up world through a product with high aesthetic appeal.
Founded in 1962, Ponzini is global leader in mascara applicators. It has the in-house production expertise needed for the development of highly customisable applicators that are flexible and can be tailored to meet market needs.
With these foundations, MOON is more than a glass mascara; it is an object designed to capture attention... quite literally!
