Wheaton, specialists in the supply of glass packaging, will once again be taking part in Luxe Pack Monaco. The event, which brings together premium packaging manufacturers from around the world, will be held on October 2, 3 and 4, 2023 at the Grimaldi Forum. 

With over 70 years' experience in Brazil, Wheaton is an internationally recognized brand for its packaging solutions for various segments such as perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and home care. Serving with agility, flexibility and the shortest response time on the market, it has a standard line with versatile packaging in different formats, capacities and designs. It also develops exclusive products. 

Part of this vast catalog of products will be presented at Luxe Pack Monaco 2023. Among the innovations to be presented, Inner Color is an internal paint that exploits the depth and distribution of the glass, as well as the thickness of the walls and bottom. This technique also produces a three-dimensional effect that gives the product a modern, sophisticated look.

Also on display will be a digital printing solution that enables illustrations and text to be printed in a translucent, solid form, as well as high-definition images in a realistic format on the packaging. This technique, which can be used to personalize bottles, allows a virtually infinite mix of colors from the Pantone range. 

Visitors to the event will also be able to discover scented silk-screening, a technique that offers sensorial packaging using perfume microcapsules, allowing the user to try out the fragrance before even starting to use the product. 

The Ecoglass line of sustainable packaging, which promotes the circular economy and aims to reduce the consumption of raw materials from nature, will also be highlighted. The line offers a lightweight bottle, which contains 20 % less glass mass than a traditional bottle and reduces CO2 emissions by over 30 %. Ecoglass encourages reuse thanks to features such as the threaded end, which allows the product to be finished, and refill bottles, for example.

The Brazilian company's exhibition space will feature a 3D screen to offer visitors a differentiated, immersive experience, playfully recounting the development of perfume packaging. Used by a number of international brands in major advertising campaigns around the world, this technique promotes what is known as "anamorphic illusion", giving an impression of depth to images and generating differentiated interaction with products.

Wheaton, a pioneer in the use of biomethane.

The company is committed to sustainable practices and is the first in the world to use this renewable fuel, which partially replaces natural gas. Biomethane is a gaseous biofuel obtained from the biological decomposition of organic matter. 

The company's work with this sustainable energy source has already saved around 7,000 tonnes of CO² emissions per year, equivalent to planting more than 50,000 trees over a 20-year period. 

"The idea of using biomethane is to show that it is possible to combine efficiency and ecological solutions. Brazil has distinguished itself in these sectors, and it will be an honor to represent the country at such an important event for the sector."concludes Ricardo Lopes, Wheaton's Sales and Marketing Manager.

Nuxe's sun tanning oil and Délicieux sun spray have been relaunched with a new spray pump: PZ Twist by Aptar Beauty. Nuxe was looking for a more eco-friendly, high-performance spray pump with an attractive design. Aptar Beauty responded with its latest spray pump innovation. 

The PZ Twist pump has been designed to incorporate twist-to-lock technology, i.e. an on/off locking system based on a rotary movement of the pump. No need for a cap! PZ Twist also ensures high spray performance and meets e-commerce standards*. The modern, elegant lines of the pump blend in with the rest of the pack's design, finished off with the brand's signature pearlescent gold.

Eco-responsible and compatible with e-commerce

The sun tanning oil SPF10, SPF30 and SPF50 and the sun spray Délicieux SPF30 and SP50 were launched at the beginning of the year in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The formulas are clean and non-toxic for the marine ecosystem, guaranteeing the best balance between high quality and respect for the environment. The new on/off pump system supports the brand's commitment to sustainable development, reducing waste and eliminating any risk of losing the cap on the beach, or in nature in general. PZ Twist is made primarily of polypropylene (PP) and contains no POM; it is combined with Nuxe's new PET bottle.

Practical and easy to use

The product is practical and easy to use. Thanks to a new intuitive gesture, consumers can lock and unlock the pump by turning the device on itself. It's also ergonomic. Designed with a wide, comfortable push-button with a soft-touch effect, the pump is convenient to use and hygienic, guaranteeing an optimal consumer experience. An audible click ensures that the pump is securely locked to prevent any potential leaks - a key feature that also guarantees its e-commerce compatibility. The PZ Twist pump is safe and portable, and complies with Amazon's Ista-6 protocol*. PZ Twist is also available with options such as anti-slip ridges and a nozzle cover for an even more hygienic solution.

A high-performance spray for Nuxe

PZ Twist features Aptar Beauty's PZ engine, which delivers high spray performance, even with complex formulas such as those in Nuxe's suncare range.

"Nuxe wanted a pump that was more eco-responsible, attractively designed and easy to use - possibly with a new gesture while maintaining the same level of spray performance. PZ Twist ticked all the boxes and immediately appealed. We designed this pump precisely for this type of demand: fewer components and e-commerce compatibility. Our innovation team succeeded in rethinking the PZ range by integrating twist-to-lock technology. We're very proud of our collaboration with Nuxe, and delighted to see PZ Twist convert the suncare packaging market".said Madalina Dragan, Personal Care & Home Care Emea Marketing Director.

* Conforms to Ista-6 protocol. Test results may vary according to container shape, size and sample formula.

From July 1, 2023, the activities of the two Italian companies, which are largely complementary, will come together 80 years after Bormioli Luigi was founded. The merger of Bormioli Rocco S.p.A into Bormioli Luigi S.p.A represents, according to Bormioli Luigi, "A fundamental milestone in the history of national glass.

The creation of an industrial division had already begun in 2017 with Bormioli Luigi's acquisition of Bormioli Rocco spa, as part of a long-term strategy aimed at devising innovative working methods: methods that motivate its employees and are tailored to the interests of customers.

This merger is a way for the Group to strengthen its structure and enrich its know-how by drawing on the cultures and synergies of both companies. As a result, the Group will benefit from more agile and flexible integrated processes, and more favorable profitability.

What's more, the merger will enhance the efficiency of strategic research, thanks to high-performance IT systems; the transformation will involve not only production and marketing, but also human resources, finance and supplies.

Bormioli Luigi in brief

• One of Italy's largest and most successful glass companies.
• International presence in sectors including the production of glass bottles and jars for the selective beauty market (perfumery, skincare and make-up), luxury bottles and decanters for tableware and the home.
• The company employs 2,800 people at four production sites in Italy and one in Spain, as well as at sales subsidiaries in the USA, Spain, Germany, France, Asia and Brazil.
• The group distributes in over 120 countries.
• The Group is stepping up the pace of its growth and development in order to consolidate its leading position in its areas of expertise.

Cosmogen's new collection of sponges for face and body care and make-up is made from bio-sourced polyurethane, a material composed of corn, cassava, sugarcane juice, castor oil and plant pigments.

On the care side, the face sponge is easy to use thanks to a fingertip insert, while the body sponge is generously sized. Their texture combines cleansing and light exfoliation with circular movements.

On the make-up side, sponges have a much finer texture, suitable for applying blush, concealer, foundation or illuminator. They can be used wet or dry, depending on the desired coverage. The two models, peach-shaped (2 sizes) or half-heart-shaped, each have a rounded and a pointed part, ideal for all situations.

Maison Berger was created by Maurice Berger, a pharmacy technician, at the end of the 19th century, to purify the air in hospital wards. Its catalytic diffusion system destroyed odors rather than masking them.

A unique French creation, with patented catalytic burner technology, the Berger lamp sells 480,000 units every year. 

New for 2023: the Berger Joy lamp. Maison Berger took advantage of Mother's Day to launch this new lamp by Sylvie de France.

A true decorative object, this lamp's color and relief add a touch of femininity to any interior. Designer Sylvie de France has signed a new collaboration with Maison Berger Paris, full of creativity and elegance, which Stoelzle Masnières Parfumerie is proud to produce. 

"The Berger Joy lamp is imbued with femininity. Its roundness brings softness and a touch of originality with its chiseled geometric details, etched into the glass for a precious decorative effect. The body of the catalytic lamp, like its finely-worked motifs, is highlighted by an old rose-colored lacquer. Discreet refinement and charm are the hallmarks of this object, whose main challenge was to allow for accommodations in the engraving, without altering the aesthetics, so that the lamp could be unmolded "says Stoelzle Masnières Parfumeri.
