Eden Airless Package receives DuPont Award for Packaging Innovation

6/16/2011 6:00:00 PM

We are proud to announce that we have received a DuPont Gold Award for Packaging Innovation for the Eden All Plastic Airless Dispenser.

Now in its 23rd year, the DuPont Awards for Packaging Innovation is the industry's longest-running, global, independently judged celebration of innovation and collaboration throughout the value chain. Each year an esteemed panel awards diamond, gold or silver honors based on "excellence" ratings in one, two or all of three categories: Innovation; Sustainability; and Cost/Waste Reduction.

"The Packaging Awards program is an opportunity to celebrate how collaborating throughout the value chain can bring cost-effective innovation to the market to help solve the big issues," said Shanna Moore, global director sustainable packaging, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers. "The Eden airless package captures the spirit of innovation to resolve complex global challenges."

Eden is an all plastic airless system that offers many consumer benefits. Eden is the first airless dispenser with a certified recyclability because it is composed of only one plastic family of plastics, polyolefin. Eden is well adapted for organic cosmetics because of the conformity of the materials (positive ECOCERT material list) and protection of low preservative formulas.

Eden also offers a performance comparable to the most sophisticated airless systems. It has a very soft actuation making it easier to dispense products, as well as a precise and progressive dosage for the right application. It is also leak proof before, during and after use.

Eden is available with several options: a 30 and 50ml slim package, a 50 and 100ml compact package and two actuator options.

The Eden Airless Package Collection Charms the Floressance par Nature Brand

1/16/2012 5:00:00 AM

For its two new facial skin care products, Floressance par Nature has chosen Eden Slim and its new Divine actuator. The selection asserts Lea Nature’s dedication to its environmental responsibilities and principles.

The collection’s unique versatility on the cosmetics market, designed for everyday consumption, truly appealed to Léa Nature. Léa Nature chose Eden because of the customization capacities available with the Aptar group. Working together, the two companies created Divine, an actuator with an eminently feminine design, elegant curves and shiny finish. The Divine actuator is a decidedly charming asset to add to the many possibilities offered by Aptar beauty+home's innovative collection.

Aptar beauty+home have effectively made their mark on the movement towards sustainable packaging. The Eden collection is 100% recyclable and in compliance with organic cosmetic standards. It also provides absolute protection of the bulk, an un unfailing airless system (piston) and optimal restitution of formulas.

Only Eden could preserve all the virtues of the pomegranate fruit which is included in the composition of the two new creams, Grenade Eclat Radiance Enhancing Day Cream and Revitalizing Night Cream.

Diesel calls upon Aptar beauty + home to create LOVERDOSE

10/4/2011 4:00:00 AM

To make its latest women’s fragrance a reality, Diesel called upon the expertise of Aptar beauty + home: Loverdose was thus created - an oriental, woody and wonderfully tempting fragrance with a mesmerizing trail.

Aptar beauty + home responded to the brand’s design and aesthetic requirements by developing a range of black tube coverings in polypropylene combined with a VP4 crimp pump in three sizes for the bottle (30 ml, 50 ml and 75 ml).

In addition to preserving the integrity of the fragrance and respecting the desired aesthetics, these dip tube coverings also have to withstand all stages of the manufacturing process, from mounting them on the pump right through to the packaging itself.

Finally, Diesel’s aesthetic choice, with the heart-shaped glass of the bottle which gives Loverdose its identity, required a detailed study of the length of each tube covering during the development stage to prevent any interference with the bottom of the bottles.

Brand identity was completed with the engraving of the name DIESEL on the top of the metal actuator.

“Loverdose, weapon of seduction, symbol of passion”

Thanks to Aptar, Swarovski’s AURA is Simply Dazzling

3/7/2011 7:00:00 AM

Swarovski’s new fragrance has an ultra-modern feel and made even more alluring by Aptar’s inspired design.

In collaboration with Clarins Fragrance Group, the crystal manufacturer is launching its very first fragrance, Aura. To capture the visual essence of the Swarovski sparkle, Aptar beauty + home lead the creation of seamless packaging topped with their distinctively cut and faceted crystal.

The new design confirms Aptar beauty + home’s creative ability and technological expertise when portraying the personality and values of a brand.

The bottle was designed to form an aura of light. Mixing glass and metal, this bottle delivers a continuous play of light, illuminating the scent in a shape of intense silhouettes.

To create Aura, Aptar beauty + home chose a low profile VP4 screw-on pump and designed a special collar with a low tucking bead. They also developed a special engraved actuator which picks up the sparkle of the Swarovski crystal.

With Aura, Aptar beauty + home offers a new example of tailor-made creation.

Aura is available in 15 ml, 30 ml, 50 ml and 75 ml.

Aptar beauty + home & L’Occitane: a Divine combination

3/1/2011 11:00:00 AM

To reveal the beneficial effects of Immortelle Divine Eyes (eye contour) and Immortelle Divine Extract (Serum), two of the three products in its unique new Divine global anti-aging skin care range, L’Occitane chose to call upon the creativity and expertise of Aptar beauty + home.

The French beauty brand chose to incorporate the Alpha 150 mcl mechanism which guarantees optimum dispensing of the formula while protecting it from any contact with metal. The Alpha mechanism has a little plastic ball which was designed to prevent the spring from having any contact with theproduct.

Sturdy and reliable, the Alpha mechanism, combined with the Metropolitan design, was the appropriate solution for fulfilling the high-quality expectations of L’Occitane!

Particularly adapted to the dosage of creams and highly viscous products, Alpha also impressed L’Occitane with its low actuation force, its high-precision and high-quality dispensing as well as its back-suction ability: at the end of the dosage, Alpha enables the very last drop of the product to move up inside the actuator so that the nozzle remains completely clean after each use.

And last but not least, L’Occitane was delighted with the design of the Metropolitan pump, with its pure and gentle lines, to which a specific color was added to the metalized actuator and metal ring especially for the Divine range.

With this collaboration, Aptar beauty + home has once again confirmed its place as the essential partner of beauty brands looking for high-performance and proved its ability to offer them the most suitable solutions.

DIPTYQUE Chooses Aptar beauty + home For it's New Eau de Toilette

2/1/2011 8:00:00 AM

Aptar beauty + home customizes vintage style for the new eau de toilette by DIPTYQUE

The highly refined Perfume House diptyque, a symbol of the true art of living, is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. For this occasion, they have created a new range of perfumes and home fragrances named 34 boulevard saint germain: a signature range that pays tribute to the address where the story of diptyque began.

Confident in their expertise, won over by their collaboration with the biggest names in the world of perfume and cosmetics, diptyque has teamed up with Aptar beauty + home for the design of its new eau de toilette bottle for both the 50 ml and 100 ml.

The idea was to use fabric as a nod to the brand’s origins and evoke the memory of the emblematic candle wick of the Perfume House and the beginnings of its success.

In partnership with a braided sheathing manufacturer, Aptar beauty + home developed an over-tube in black and white to cover the diptube in the manner of an old-fashion oil lamp wick. The diptube was then assembled on the VP4 pump, the perfume industry’s best seller by Aptar beauty + home.

The result: another innovative product on the market which gives a whole new dimension to the diptube.

Aptar B+H and MBF Plastiques behind Bvlgari for the latest Bvlgari Man line

11/1/2010 12:00:00 AM

With its new line dedicated to men, Bvlgari wanted to maintain its inimitablestyle while giving Bvlgari Man a genuine identity of its own. The brand handed over production of the spray cap to Aptar Beauty + Home, whose expertise and creativity have proved their worth with the top names.

Its brief was to think up a complete ensemble with clean, futuristic lines, like a monolith with an almost architectural design. Aptar Beauty + Home thus joined forces with MBF Plastiques (Aptargroup) to develop a black, glossy spray cap with a strong, sober design giving full expression to Bvlgari Man's values of the powerful and exceptional.

For the fragrance:

Design of two spray caps of 60 and 100 ml, including an on/off system. Supported by a 100-mcl dose VP Compact pump, they each integrate a completely new actuator incorporating a fixed spray technology designed in collaboration with MBF.
For the 30-ml capacity: produced with a 70 dose VP Compact pump, the spray cap has a standard metal actuator and metallic collar with a high profile bead. Its cap is an exclusive design by MBF.

For the 100 ml after-shave lotion:

Production of a specific cap consisting of three different parts, to which MBF has added a tightness stem. This product also features a Seal Tight dropper with metallic collar with a low profile bead.
Aptar Beauty + Home and MBF Plastiques have thus worked in total synergyto create a design that is aesthetic, symbolises Bvlgari and reflects the character of the fragrance.

ORIFLAME has chosen Aptar B+H for its new product restoring eye cream

10/1/2010 4:00:00 AM

An exclusive Aptar beauty + home product, Pinpoint combines direct application to the area to be treated and controlled high-precision dispensing in an easy to use and optimized way: consumer comfort is morethan ever at the very core of Aptar beauty + home products. In addition, with a soft touch silicone applicator and special protective cap, Pinpoint guarantees the preservation of the formula and total hygiene when inuse.

Poison by Dior: innovative designs for mythical perfumes created by Aptar B+H

9/1/2010 4:00:00 AM

Ever the innovator, this year the House of Dior wanted to rethink the packaging design of one of its emblematic perfume ranges, Poison, while maintaining its seductive spirit.

To achieve this exclusive packaging, Dior chose to call upon the unique know-how and creativity of Aptar beauty + home, having complete confidence in their expertise.

This collaboration resulted in the packaging of the latest addition to the Poison range, the Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle fragrance. In the short term, the packaging of the other four fragrances in the range will all be based on this model. For Aptar beauty + home, it was a matter of being able to evoke the eminently sensual values portrayed by the entire Poison range, while accentuating the original design: the group and its partner, MBF Plastiques, thus developed exclusive integrated top packaging deliveredfully assembled.

The deep amethyst Surlyn cap was meticulously designed – more distinct hollowed and accentuated shapes – which included an injection and cooling process followed by a finishing process. For an optimized spray, Aptar beauty + home gave thebottle a VP4 100μl Seal Tight pump.

A special decorative collar was made in metal-coated champagne gold to ensure overall product harmony. The anodized champagne gold actuator has a “CD” engraving, the symbol of the House of Dior.

VP4 screw pumps from Aptar B+H provide a refillable spray function for the new Kenzo Flower presentation

6/30/2010 11:00:00 PM

For the 10th anniversary of FlowerByKenzo, Kenzo wanted its emblematic fragrance to be involved in sustainable development: the brand thus chose to entrust its desire to the skilful know-how of Aptar Beauty + Home, fully confident in its expertise.

To reply to Kenzo’s expectations, Aptar Beauty + Home replaced the classic VP4 crimp pumps with VP4 screw pumps so that FlowerByKenzo is now available as a refillable spray.

An exclusive Aptar Beauty + Home creation, these new pumps are of the same diameter as the previous ones: only a few modifications were required so the existing bottles and caps could be kept.

For the 50 and 100 ml sizes the same version of the VP4 screw pump was used on a CV 15 mm neck with a silver anodized aluminum collar customized for Kenzo, while for the 30 ml bottles a VP4 screw pump was used on a CV 13 neck.

Aptar Beauty + Home developed and produced an innovative protocol beforehand which enabled testing the VP4 on a CV 15 mm neck with a “refillable” function and validating its perfect suitability. Optimum quality (leak-proofness, durability, etc) was thus guaranteed for its use.

With this new version of FlowerByKenzo, Aptar Beauty + Home has more than ever shown its capacity for innovation and demonstrated that technical can go hand in hand with ethical.

For Cacharel, Aptar B+H has put its mark on Jellies, luscious travel-format fragrances

3/31/2010 11:00:00 PM

To create its new Jellies collection, Cacharel called upon the creativity and expertise of Aptar beauty + home.

Cacharel Jellies bring you the brand’s 5 emblematic fragrances in an innovative new format: Anaïs Anaïs, AMOR AMOR, AMOR AMOR TENTATION, Scarlett and NOA are thus available in handbag atomizers (20 ml) that look like little sticks of rock.

A travel collection designed for you to (re)discover each fragrance!

To satisfy the technical, as well as the aesthetic, constraints of the product, Aptar beauty + home proposed a Rainbow pump, the all-plastic version of the VP4 Seal Tight. In white plastic, the rainbow pump plays it sober to better show off the colourful packaging of the scents.

At the request of the L’Oréal Group, Aptar beauty + home also built a special cap to match the fun, bonbon-coloured choice of bottles.

Joy creates a pleasant smiling effect

3/25/2011 8:00:00 AM

The “Small Joy" Snap Top®, available both with and without Aptar's SimpliSqueeze® technology, brings a smile to any package. The snap-on closure with a comfortably contoured finger recess not only creates an appealing aesthetic, but also eases opening and closing for the consumer while it remains secure during transit. Ideally sized for 125 - 250ml packages, the closure can also be conveniently inverted thanks to its flat lid and stable footprint that ensures easy dispensing right down to the last drop. Aptar’s active hinge also ensures that the consumer can easily open the closure and dispense the product with just one hand.

Introducing GS Affinity Metal-Free Pathway !

3/25/2011 1:00:00 AM

Affinity is the latest addition to Aptar’s GS dispenser offering. The Affinity has an external spring in the cartridge allowing for a metal-free product path. This feature eliminates compatibility issues with the metal spring and product formulations. The spring is hidden, making for a more aesthetic package when dispensing clear product formulations or using transparent bottles.

The Affinity dispenser has the same advantage of modular aesthetics offered within the entire GS lotion pump line. With nine different actuators and five different closures, there are endless options to create just the right look for your package.

The Affinity is perfect for personal care applications such as body, baby, sun and hair care with the ability to dispense a wide variety of product viscosities. Dosages of 1.2cc and 2cc are available with 24mm and 28mm closure neck sizes.

Metal-free product pathway
Leak-proof + water-protected: pump is sealed in both open and closed position
Twist to lock feature: easy to open and relock
