Quadpack’s tottle collections come in a variety of capacities, from travel-friendly 5 ml up to 180 ml, and shape, from curved edges to elegant elongated silhouettes. Each model can be customized using a host of decoration options, providing an ideal concept for high-performance formulas such as sunscreens, hair conditioners, body lotions, face creams and foundations.

L’Oréal’s Maybelline brand selected Mega Airless dispensers for its just-launched, swirl-fill Instant Age Rewind The Lifter Lifting Makeup with Primer Inside. The Mega Airless Micro round neutral pump was used, as its design does not intrude into the container, thus retaining the integrity of the swirl during use. The 100% plastic, neutral, airless dispensers protect such skin care formulations that use active ingredients, as Instant Age Rewind combines a lifting makeup and primer. Its spiral, or “swirl,” form ensures simultaneous delivery of the two formulae and is initially available in 12 shades.

Pochet du Courval, the bottle-making unit of the Pochet group, works to develop unique bottles for fine fragrance products, including a bottle in which the perfumer is in suspension, underlined by a crystal smile, for La Vie Est Belle. The package for Jour d’Hermès captures an optical mirage with reverse silk screen printing that fades out and reflects from all sides, and a similar style is illuminated by a perfect ellipse for the Una de Natura bottle. These three creations embrace bold luxury codes and create a sensation of optical lightness and total equilibrium. They are the result of Pochet du Courval’s centuries of experience and know-how, as the control of internal distribution goes so far as to determine the shape, becoming part of the bottle’s aesthetics in its own right.
