site-industries-cosmetiques A woman uses her phone to browse cosmetics.

At Cosmetic 360, to be held at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris on October 18 and 19, Avery Dennison will be demonstrating how brands and retailers can become drivers of change and innovation by adopting digital identification technology, including RFID and connected products.

As an example, Bastille, a young French company specializing in natural and sustainable fragrances, recently launched a fragrance transparency initiative using RFID technology. The project, which combines the use of RFID sensors with QR code technology, offers greater visibility throughout the supply chain, and enables an enriched customer experience through the sharing of information with consumers.

The collaboration includes Avery Dennison's comprehensive technology solution, including its atma.io connected products cloud, as well as customer experience experts SharpEnd, a global design studio whose mission is to help brands embrace the Internet of Things.

Avery Dennison will also present solutions to reduce supply chain waste through its atma.io connected products cloud. The company will detail how the platform and RFID technology enable a true digital ID card to be issued to any product, providing valuable and transparent information on the supply chain, product traceability and carbon footprint, enabling brands and retailers to make better decisions  

Maryna Grytsenko, European Beauty and Cosmetics Market Development Manager at Avery Dennison Smartrac, states: "Brands and retailers are looking for transparency, traceability, sustainability and ways to engage their consumers, but also a way to digitize and manage the supply chain efficiently. They want to encourage richer interactions with consumers beyond the point of sale. Avery Dennison's atma.io digital identifiers and connected product cloud establish a single source of truth that brands can trust, providing an additional level of authenticity and traceability throughout a product's journey: from manufacture to shelf and beyond. We look forward to demonstrating all these benefits to Cosmetic 360 visitors."

On Wednesday, October 18 at 11am, as part of the CleanTech conference, Avery Dennison will share its insights on how to better manage supply chain waste and overproduction. In addition to sharing unique expertise and insights, the session will also include key findings from the company's report dedicated to the true cost of supply chain waste, " The missing billions ".

New equipment for handling cardboard drums

Dalmec-Manipulator Cardboard drums

Dalmec presents a new "trade" version of its latest Partner Equo PEC type manipulator, custom-designed and developed for lifting, moving and palletizing cardboard drums. This manipulator is aimed in particular at the chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food (especially for transporting and storing dry, pasty and semi-liquid products, etc.), packaging, building and construction materials sectors.

A genuine "weight canceller", this articulated-arm equipment features an adjustable gripping device with suction cups designed to facilitate the handling of cardboard drums of varying sizes, shapes and weights. The tool enables drums to be retrieved and positioned on a pallet for transport and storage. 

To ensure controlled, optimal gripping of cardboard drums weighing up to 400 kg, depending on the products contained, the manipulator's gripping tool uses a modular system of 6 suction pads in line, with a vacuum generated by a multi-stage "Venturi" injector. Connected to the manipulator's terminal arm, the gripping tool benefits from an ingenious vertical arm system on which the suction cups are mounted, enabling drums to be picked up, lifted, moved and set down, adapting perfectly to the proportions of each part to be handled, without any effort.

In this particular case, the Dalmec Partner Equo PEC articulated arm manipulator has been designed and built to perform repetitive and particularly meticulous manipulations, offering a large radius of action of up to 3500 mm for a maximum force of 400 kg. 

Tailor-made to the dimensions of the part being handled, the suction cup gripper tool will easily enable cardboard drums to be picked up in a balanced way, while holding them in a perfect vertical position. Last but not least, this new manipulator can be fully integrated into cramped working environments, thanks to its evolutive structure and the infinite possibilities of varying the shapes and dimensions of the terminal arm.

Using compressed air as its sole energy source, the new manipulator offers users a high degree of maneuverability. As a result, the operator can move the load anywhere in the work area, with the utmost ease and in optimum ergonomic and safety conditions. All movements in the space are free, and are achieved with minimal effort, simply by the operator's direct action on the gripping tool or manual guidance on the load itself. Physical effort and the risk of RSI are thus totally eliminated, with improved working conditions and, ultimately, a remarkable gain in safety and productivity for operators.

Fedrigoni upgrades its Imitlin range

site-industries-cosmetiques The fedricion packaging is set against a muddled pink background.

Elegant and resistant, Fedrigoni's historic Imitlin range is evolving and becoming even more versatile. It promises the packaging world new embossings such as the leather effect, new colors, elegant finishes and a range of high grammages.

Imitlin is distinguished by its refined, sophisticated style. It resists scratches, fingerprints and light. It yields to elegance without sacrificing performance. Embossed and woven like a canvas, it adds a touch of class to every creation. Imitlin paper is a historic Fedrigoni benchmark. 

Now it's even more versatile. Originally conceived for its resemblance to noble materials, Imitlin is now enhanced by Diana, a new embossing reminiscent of hammered leather. The evolution of Imiltin continues with the addition of new shades: Vibrant ochre, teal green, jade green, gray stone, pink sand and ginger brown, chosen in line with the latest market trends. 

For an even more original and creative touch, Imitlin now comes in two new 130 g versions, one with a Glow finish and the other with a Metal finish: the first features a glossy surface, the second a metallic finish. 

Allpack, weights dedicated to packaging

Allpack, the new version included in Imitlin, confirms Fedrigoni's leading position in the world of luxury packaging with its 210 and 350 gram weights. Thanks to its characteristics and performance, Imitlin papers reflect the Fedrigoni Group's "plastic to paper" approach, i.e. the objective of reducing the use of plastic in packaging. 

The many variations in the range make Imitlin the ideal solution for creating complete, high-level coordinates for the packaging and publishing sectors, with multiple combinations of grammage and finish.

"Imitlin is one of Fedrigoni's most famous papers, characterized by a unique style that combines elegance and strength, explains Micaela Di Trana, Marketing and R&D Manager at Fedrigoni Paper, While its essence remains unchanged, it has become more versatile and transversal, ideal for packaging design. What's more, Imitlin allows us to create beautiful combinations with other Fedrigoni ranges, and a fine dialogue between shades and textures."

Lavender fields

The European Parliament has adopted its position on the proposed revision of the Regulation on Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Chemicals (CLP Regulation). The International Fragrance Association (Ifra) and Cosmetics Europe have welcomed the European Parliament's position.

The changes to CLP welcomed by Ifra and Cosmetics Europe include the classification of renewable substances of plant origin and the grouping of substances. According to the two organizations, the adoption of the Parliament's position means that a key element of the Chemical Strategy for Sustainable Development (CSS) is now being put in place.

"Ifra and Cosmetics Europe jointly welcome the adoption of the European Parliament's position. It represents a significant advance on the draft text initially proposed by the European Commission in December last year".said Aurélie Perrichet, Ifra's Regional Director for Europe.

"The changes that members of the European Parliament have made to the draft regulation - notably through specific provisions for the classification of renewable substances of plant origin - are essential to support the future of natural ingredients used in cosmetics and fragrances, said John Chave, Managing Director of Cosmetics Europe. They play an essential role in meeting the EU's ambition to stimulate organic and circular economies."

"The European Parliament has recognized that the grouping of chemical substances must be based on science and comply with the provisions of the Reach Regulation".noted Aurélie Perrichet.

"We consider it essential that the provisions and principles proposed by the European Parliament be reflected in the final text following the trilogues, emphasized John Chave. The EU Council recognized the need for carefully crafted provisions for the classification of "complex substances" (containing more than one constituent) when it adopted its position in June 2023. We are now confident that a fair and workable compromise can be found in the negotiations between the institutions."

A finely crafted discovery box

site-industries-cosmetiques A set of five perfume bottles in a white box.

Inessens has developed a discovery box for the Anomalia brand. The box, which holds seven 2-ml bottles, is made in France in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. 

Inessens points out that this is not just a discovery box. It was designed specifically for the Anomalia brand, printed in Grasse. Part of it is hand-made.

Offered at the Formes de Luxe prize, on the occasion of the Luxe Pack trade show, this box is made up of three parts: the first is a printed, hot-marked (gold) and embossed sheath for a very haute couture look; the second part is a cut-out, printed, hot-marked (hot gold, pearlescent gilding) and creased pouch. The third part is the wedge.

The shape of the cut-out was specially designed to accommodate the seven Anomalia bottles. Due to the small size of the pouch, gluing and assembly were done by hand.

The box is made on FSC-certified perfume card, a more environmentally-friendly paper because its long fibers intermingle, with no additives in the manufacturing process to disrupt its totally neutral side. The black ink is based on non-GMO vegetable oil. The design is minimalist, with no flat tints. An embossing tool adds animation to the background.
