The concept of natural beauty now encompasses the whole spectrum of cosmetics, with high-end luxury brands offering first-class organic treatments, free from artificial ingredients.

For eco-skincare, Yonwoo&amp;#8217;s airless range enables cosmetics companies to use less artificial preservatives, by shielding the product from external contaminants. Apollo&amp;#8217;s patented foam pumps keep all metal parts out of the product part to ensure greater formula integrity.

The Eco Foamer uses a recycled PET (rPET) bottle sourced locally in Europe. This is combined with the superior performance of Apollo&amp;#8217;s foam pumps. With high-end decoration options including colour matching and metallised collars, this product is especially suitable for luxury organic brands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rPET bottle can be made with either 100% or 50% recycled content, depending on requirements. Quadpack has selected only European sources to reduce the product&amp;#8217;s carbon footprint. The bottle is available in standard 150ml and 50ml travel-sized packs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pump uses Apollo&amp;#8217;s patented foam technology to produce exceptional foam quality. Three different meshes produce different densities to suit different applications. These may include cleansing, skin care, baby care and any others where foam adds value to the performance and perception of the product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, with no metal parts in the product path, the pump helps safeguard formula integrity &amp;#8211; a particularly important consideration for organic brands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A choice of interchangeable applicators can further enhance performance of the product.

The decision to create Quadpack was made at the back of a bus in China in 2002.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Quadpack started life as a joint venture between three packaging companies in Spain, France and the UK. The founding members initially worked out of a spare room in a flat, a make-shift office above a shop and the basement of a family home!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. One of Quadpack's very first customers was cosmetics company Natura Biss&amp;#233; in Barcelona, Spain, now a world-leading beauty brand. Quadpack is proud to count Natura Biss&amp;#233; as a client today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Quadpack is among the first to introduce airless technology into Europe, when Quadpack pre-cursors Belcos Packaging and Gadbrook Packaging became the exclusive Yonwoo distributors around the turn of the millennium. The first companies to order airless from Quadpack were Elemis and Natura Biss&amp;#233;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. In 2008, Quadpack UK won Gold for Best Cosmetics and Toiletries Design at the Starpack Awards, for the &amp;#8216;Nude Brands&amp;#8217; packaging, entirely developed and produced by Quadpack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Surprising demographics: Quadpack is a predominantly female company, employing more women than men, mostly in the 35-40 age range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. A truly international business, Quadpack spans four continents, 10 countries and 15 languages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Besides Yonwoo, Quadpack is the exclusive distribution partner for Apollo (foam technology), RuiChang (plastic jars), JinSheng (plastic/acrylic containers), Premi (fragrance bottles) and Brivaplast (mascara and lip gloss).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Wooden component manufacturer Technotraf and accessories company Spirit are wholly owned by Quadpack. Both enable Quadpack to bring true innovation and differentiation to our client base, offering complete, end-to-end packaging solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. This year, Quadpack will be issuing our very own, special edition perfume bottle, to mark our anniversary, combining the best elements of Premi fragrance bottles, Technotraf wooden components and Spirit charms.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">&lt;a href="http://www.webpackaging.com/packaging-suppliers/quadpack/news/param/news/2793037/10-interesting-facts-about-Quadpack/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.webpackaging.com/files/990371/2793037-EEIUIUQT/_webpac/images/object/thumb/quadpack-web.jpg" style="border:none" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Continuing Quadpack's series of news items in celebration of its 10th anniversary, here are 10 interesting facts about the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.

Special applicators and active formula dispensing also attracted a lot of attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Technotraf counter showcased the latest offering in eco-chic. Visitors observed the various ways in which wood can be used in perfumery and cosmetics packaging. While wood is currently a trend in the luxury fragrance market, overwhelming interest indicates that this material will be a long-term candidate in beauty packaging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Special applicators were of particular interest with visitors, notably Yonwoo&amp;#8217;s airless Ampoule Program, with metal ball, ceramic ball and silicone tip options. Apollo&amp;#8217;s Comb Foamer headlined in hair care, with its special comb applicator for hair colour. In make-up, visitors focused on Brivaplast&amp;#8217;s new waterproof and conical ranges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Formula protection proves to be a rising trend in the packaging choices of cosmetics companies.

The Shut-Off series features an ingenious nozzle that offers an extra lever of airless protection, avoiding air re-entry at the nozzle end of the container.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two-part containers also continue to be popular in formula protection. Preserving the active ingredient in powder or liquid form in one part of the pack, with the activating serum in the other, products such as Yonwoo&amp;#8217;s Twin Mix Airless are seeing high market demand. Yonwoo is currently extending the series with bigger capacities, in 25ml (twin mix dropper) and 30ml (twin mix airless), for launch mid-2013.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">&lt;a href="http://www.webpackaging.com/packaging-suppliers/quadpack/news/param/news/2752222/Eco-chic-and-formula-protection-at-Cosmoprof/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.webpackaging.com/files/990371/2752222-BMNZNMTI/_webpac/images/object/thumb/quadpack-web.jpg" style="border:none" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quadpack&amp;#8217;s boutique-style stand drew the greatest crowds around the wooden component and formula protection displays at Cosmoprof Bologna 2013.

The Shut-Off series features an ingenious nozzle that offers an extra lever of airless protection, avoiding air re-entry at the nozzle end of the container.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two-part containers also continue to be popular in formula protection. Preserving the active ingredient in powder or liquid form in one part of the pack, with the activating serum in the other, products such as Yonwoo&amp;#8217;s Twin Mix Airless are seeing high market demand. Yonwoo is currently extending the series with bigger capacities, in 25ml (twin mix dropper) and 30ml (twin mix airless), for launch mid-2013.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><link>http://www.webpackaging.com/packaging-suppliers/quadpack/news/param/news/2752222/Eco-chic-and-formula-protection-at-Cosmoprof/</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 07:29:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.webpackaging.com/packaging-suppliers/quadpack/news/param/news/2752222/Eco-chic-and-formula-protection-at-Cosmoprof/</guid></item><item><title>Passion, style, and Italian mastery</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Passion, style, and Italian mastery - the attributes applied by Momodesign in creating its fragrances.

It helps perfume brands convey the idea behind the product, the message behind the fragrance. More than anywhere else in the beauty market, the visual aspect of the packaging is a key factor in persuading consumers. That is why it is essential to get it just right. Investing time and resources in developing the bottle can help make or break a perfume brand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: How does the packaging complement the brand?&lt;br /&gt;AP: Brand is everything in the fragrance world. A perfume pack can take different shapes, colours and finishes. The decoration possibilities are endless, but what matters is that the look and feel is right for the brand. A fragrance bottle for the teenage market will look vastly different from a bottle aimed at professional men. A good packaging developer will take a marketing brief and, depending on the brand values, target audience and fragrance type, develop pack proposals that not only match, but also enhance the brand image.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What are the advantages of bespoke packaging?&lt;br /&gt;AP: Bespoke packaging is the first choice for many of the top brands. It is a sure way to ensure the pack is unique in the market in every sense. There are no compromises to be made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: Is bespoke always best?&lt;br /&gt;AP: No, bespoke is not the only solution for every fragrance. It is certainly the most expensive and lengthy way to ensure a unique-looking bottle. However, there are simple shapes on the market (cylindrical, square, rectangular), in different capacities (30, 50, 100ml) that can be skilfully developed without new moulds. In expert hands, a personalised standard bottle can be as striking as bespoke, but with less investment and a faster time to market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What are the advantages of a standard bottle?&lt;br /&gt;AP: As I mentioned before, there are savings to be made in economy and speed. Beyond that, companies can easily order test samples to try out decoration options, for example. They also usually carry a lower MOQ than bespoke. This means it is possible to issue a trial series of a product to test market reaction. Depending on the feedback, modifications can be made for the launch proper, improving the chances of the product&amp;#8217;s success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What should you consider when choosing a perfume bottle?&lt;br /&gt;AP: If you are launching a fragrance for the first time, a standard solution would be my recommendation. Here are some tips to help you create the perfect bottle:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Analysing your brand image, target audience and type of fragrance will give you a good idea of the shape, colour and capacity you need.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid very strange shapes; personalisation and decoration offer a smarter, cleaner way to demonstrate your brand&amp;#8217;s personality.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A neck size of FEA 15 will allow you to choose from a lot of caps and pumps to embellish the bottle.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The bigger and flatter the surface, the easier and more consistent the decoration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Check out the different colours of glass available. Depending on the glassworks and the sand used for production, you will find green, grey, yellow and other colours.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Q: Any other technical aspects to be considered?&lt;br /&gt;AP: One of the most important aspects to bear in mind is the bottle capacity. Alcohol can expand at high temperatures, so you must leave a margin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What should you expect from your supplier?&lt;br /&gt;AP: Good packaging suppliers are more than sales people selling from a catalogue. They should understand both the aesthetic and technical issues of developing your fragrance packaging. They should be flexible and give you good advice, to ensure you not only get what you want, but also what you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: What are the current trends in fragrance packaging?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;AP: In terms of shape, it&amp;#8217;s back to basics, with simple, geometric forms. In contrast, more attention is being paid to little details and decorations. The use of charms, for example, gives the consumer a perception of exclusivity and luxury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another trend is the use of materials with a sensory appeal, like wood or soft-touch finishes. Besides the sense of smell, the sense of touch adds to the emotional experience of the product. Interestingly, male fragrance market it is maturing very quickly and brands are looking for unisex shapes. The bottles developed for MOMODESIGN are a perfect example.&lt;/p&gt;</description><content:encoded xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">&lt;a href="http://www.webpackaging.com/packaging-suppliers/quadpack/news/param/news/2749245/How-to-choose-the-perfect-perfume-bottle/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.webpackaging.com/files/990371/2749245-DWPMJIEC/_webpac/images/object/thumb/quadpack-web.jpg" style="border:none" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alessandro Prestini, CEO of Quadpack perfumery partner Premi, explains what to look for when choosing a perfume bottle for your fragrance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quadpack: How important is packaging in the perfumery business?&lt;br /&gt;Alessandro Prestini: Primary packaging is of vital importance in perfumery.

Ten years on, cosmetic packaging provider Quadpack Group is proud to say it&amp;#8217;s doing that and much more besides. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14 March 2013 marked the 10th anniversary of Quadpack Group. The result of a merger between Belcos Packaging, Lenglart Packaging and Gadbrook Packaging, the company has grown from a small concern to an international enterprise in 10 short years. And what a decade it&amp;#8217;s been!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, Quadpack has offices in 10 countries, including European and Asian sourcing operations.
