COSMETIC360: Stretched Glass Samples and Vials
Pléiade: Stretched Glass Solutions for Cosmetic Samples and Vials Driving Innovation
The cosmetics industry is evolving towards packaging solutions that meet emerging consumer trends. With the rapid growth of e-commerce and increasing product personalization, packaging must combine lightness, aesthetics, and sustainability. Brands are now seeking innovative solutions that deliver both practicality and environmental responsibility. In this context, the Pléiade collection in stretched glass stands out as an ideal solution for vials and sample packaging.
Stretched glass: a technology tailored to the cosmetics industry
Stretched glass, also known as tubular glass, is characterized by a unique manufacturing process that ensures thin, uniform walls. Unlike molded glass, which offers a sturdier feel and suits a wide range of capacities, stretched glass is specifically designed for smaller formats. This technology enables manufacturers to offer packaging optimized for transport and the preservation of high-value formulas, while reducing environmental impact.
Its key advantage lies in its lightness. By reducing packaging weight, brands can optimize logistics costs and significantly lower their carbon footprint—an increasingly important factor as consumers favor companies committed to sustainable practices. Stretched glass also delivers exceptional transparency and visual purity, enhancing the product with a refined, premium appearance.
Pléiade: a range designed for versatile applications
Developed to meet the specific needs of cosmetic brands, the Pléiade collection stands out for its high level of flexibility. Each vial can be adapted to a wide variety of products, including serums, precious oils, lotions, and perfume samples. Thanks to its broad range of dimensions, the collection integrates seamlessly into multiple packaging strategies, from travel-size formats to discovery sets.
Available capacities range from 3 to 50 ml, with diameters from 11 to 40 mm and lengths between 35 and 70 mm, allowing brands to select the most suitable format for their product and brand identity.
In addition, Pléiade offers both screw-neck and crimp-neck options, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of accessories. Sprays, pumps, droppers, and specific closures can be easily integrated, giving brands complete freedom to combine aesthetics with functionality in their packaging designs.
Premium finishes to enhance every creation
Packaging appearance plays a key role in user experience and brand perception. That is why the Pléiade collection offers an extensive range of premium finishes designed to enhance each reference. Multiple customization options allow brands to elevate their packaging and align it perfectly with their visual identity.
Hot foil stamping adds a luxurious touch through refined metallic accents. Lacquering provides a wide spectrum of colors and textures, from matte to glossy finishes. For a soft, elegant effect, acid etching (frosted finish) is a popular choice, while screen printing and pad printing offer endless creative possibilities for graphics and text.
These finishing options enable brands to design packaging that is both visually appealing and highly functional, reinforcing the overall sensory experience for consumers.
