German glass manufacturer Heinz Glas presented a glass closure for high-quality perfume and cosmetic products that complements its standard product portfolio. According to the company, the glass closure offers an elegant alternative for luxury products. It is available with decoration options such as coatings, printing, metallization and custom designs.
Glass manufacturer Stoelzle Glass Group presented the UV filter solution Lumi Coat in Monaco, which is designed to protect the contents of a bottle to enable a more sustainable and cleaner recipe. The optically clear filter reduces the need for additives to stabilize and preserve the formula and protects against colour changes or the degradation of fragrances. The company continues to work on new lightweight glass products and has developed a new refillable, lightweight and recyclable fragrance line under the Phoenix brand.
