These new aesthetic codes help beauty brands expand their seasonal collections and limited editions by providing pioneering, top-quality, personalised products in very short time frames, helping them stand out from the competition. Laminated cosmetic tubes are an ideal solution for beauty brands," explains Raul Cervantes, Marketing Manager.
