Verpack: durable, refined boxes for Maybach fragrances

Verpack - Maybach Eau de Parfum

Asked by Mercedes-Maybach to design the boxes for its perfume collection, the Verpack group created a high-end cardboard packaging with an elegant, innovative design. Particular attention was paid to the interior and exterior layout, including the wedge, the box's centerpiece.

Each of the six fragrances is presented in an ivory box, embossed with the emblematic Maybach logo. The sleek box features a bowl and lid fitted with a concealed groove. This ingenious system ensures a closure that both protects and enhances the bottle and its carved wooden base.

Luxury, innovation and sustainability

site-industries-cosmetiques A perfume bottle adorned with the Maybach logo on the glass, and with a brown leather case at the base, recalls the elegance of a Brouillon car. Placed against an open white box, it reveals its intricately designed interior compartments.

Inside the box, a custom-designed, thick cardboard wedge holds the bottle and its wooden easel. This support also acts as a display stand, allowing the bottle to be displayed like an objet d'art. The lid also incorporates a custom-made wedge, following the contours of the interlocking parts for optimum protection.

The exterior of the box features silver hot stamping and offset printing, protected by a varnish. Subtly designed embossed borders surround the space reserved for the label bearing the name of each fragrance.

Made from recyclable materials, the box combines innovation and durability. It embodies the brand's commitment to eco-responsibility, while meeting high standards of practicality, sturdiness, aesthetics and refinement.

Coverpla illustration

As it approaches its 80th anniversary, Coverpla, which specializes in the design, manufacture and distribution of high-end standard and 100 % customizable packaging for the fragrance and beauty markets, has adopted a new visual identity to symbolize its ambitions.

Under the management of Sébastien Saussereau and the presidency of Bruno Diépois, supported by Geneo Capital Entrepreneur (accompanied by MACSF) and its historical shareholders (Bpifrance, Société Générale Capital Partenaires and BNP Paribas Développement), Coverpla intends to conquer new markets, relying on its boldness and innovation.

Oxytocin, a source of inspiration for Lucas Meyer Cosmetics

GlowCytocin

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant has announced the worldwide launch of GlowCytocin, a skin care ingredient that activates oxytocin receptors to deliver multiple benefits to the skin.

"GlowCytocin is a significant breakthrough in neurocosmetics and skincare, offering immediate and long-term benefits for skin appearance and emotional wellbeingsays Isabelle Lacasse, Head of Global Marketing, Product Line Management and Formulation at Lucas Meyer Cosmetics by Clariant. This innovation responds to growing consumer demand for multifunctional skincare products that deliver both visible results and positive emotions."

GlowCytocin (Inci: Glycerin and Water and Hyacinthus Orientalis (Hyacinth) Extract) is derived from the bulbs of the Dutch white hyacinth, "a plant that symbolizes pure love, aligning its origin with its purpose "says Lucas Meyer Cosmetics. 

GlowCytocin is able to activate receptors in the skin for oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone", and can reproduce its beneficial effects. Studies in vitro and organ-on-a-chip studies have shown, according to Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, that GlowCytocin increases proliferation of fibroblasts and sensory neurons, promoting skin rejuvenation and increasing skin receptivity to pleasant tactile sensations. In addition, this ingredient is said to reduce nociceptive nerve sensitivity for a comforting effect.

Lucas Meyer Cosmetics reports that in a placebo-controlled clinical study of 60 ethnically diverse male and female volunteers (aged 18-65), twice-daily application of 1 % of GlowCytocin for 28 days visibly and significantly improved the participants' skin appearance. Skin luminosity and healthy glow both increased, assessed by clinical grading and self-assessment to release the "Love Glow". In addition, the number of wrinkles decreased and skin elasticity improved, for a look and feel of rejuvenated skin.

In the same clinical study, receptivity to the pleasant sensations of touch was measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) upon contact with a feather on the forearm. 30 minutes after application of a single product, there was a significant increase in activity in the frontal cortex, an area associated with positive mood states and higher levels of happiness. This observation was confirmed by a significant increase in self-reported skin comfort and pleasantness. While improving receptivity to pleasant sensations, GlowCytocin also significantly reduced the effects of capsaicin on the skin.

GlowCytocin is Chinese standard compliant, Cosmos approved, vegan and has a natural origin index of 99.6 %.

Website Tunisia ©Verpack

The Verpack Group designs, develops and packages folding cartons and carton boxes for the premium beauty, wine & spirits, fashion and delicatessen markets. 

Of its six sites, five are in France. The sixth is in Sousse, Tunisia. Managed by a Franco-Tunisian team, this manual assembly and trimming operation has just moved into its new quarters on a 5,500 m2 site which formerly housed the zipper production facility of Japanese manufacturer YKK.

Verpack customized the building to its image and functional requirements. Since the beginning of the year, the 180 team members at Sousse have been working in optimal conditions, as the site can accommodate up to 400 operators. Taking advantage of the local textile industry's long history, Sousse's workers are all qualified and accustomed to high quality standards for precise, meticulous work. The site has been awarded bronze by EcoVadis and intends to continue its progress.

A short, safe circuit 

The Verpack Group confirms its choice of Tunisia for its expertise and proximity. The geographical position and organization of the workshop contribute to this. 

The materials, all sourced (FSC) and processed at the Group's French sites, are shipped to Tunisia in just a few days. For the return trip to France, the site is "under customs control", which facilitates logistics. On site, a customs officer validates the load and seals the truck for direct delivery to the customer without any further interaction. These logistics guarantee efficiency and security.

In-line centrifugal screeners

Gericke screening machines

The manufacture of powders or granules often includes a sieving stage to make a granulometric cut, or as a safety measure to eliminate undesirable particles.

Food, chemicals, minerals... Gericke centrifugal sifters have been used in all industrial sectors for over 70 years.

They are mostly gravity-fed by upstream equipment such as screws, feeders, sluices, vibrating tubes, etc.

Gericke also offers a range of centrifugal sifters that can be inserted into a pneumatic conveying line in dilute-phase pressure or vacuum. This less common configuration offers several advantages. In particular, the sieve shaker can be placed anywhere on the pneumatic conveying line, making it easy to install.

What's more, there's no need for a screen feeder. A further advantage is the automatic removal of rejects from the screening chamber.

The system is compact even for throughputs of several tens of tons per hour, and a single in-line screener can be sufficient to screen different products from different starting points.

Gericke's screening machines are available in a wide range of designs to meet the needs and requirements of industrial users.

The Group's test stations are equipped with an in-line sieve shaker on a dilute-phase pneumatic conveying line.
