Roberts Metal Packaging at PCD Paris

PCD Paris (Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design) will be focusing this year on how brands face competing demands to make packs which express brand values, reduce their environmental impact and create an engaging consumer experience. But really, there is already a packaging material that solves this three-part conundrum – metal.

Both aluminium and tinplate packs are made from a permanently available material, which means that it can be infinitely recycled again and again with no loss of quality – metal is the perfect example of a material for closed loop economy. Further still, many packs, especially in the healthcare, beauty and fragrance markets, never make it as far as the recycling bin. As beautiful packs they remain in the home used for other purposes by customers.

Aluminium and tinplate are also ideally placed for expressing brand values and creating an engaging consumer experience. Metal packaging offers a broad creative canvas for brand owners, designers and packaging specialists. At Roberts Metal Packaging we have over 130 years of experience and our world leaders in embossing and debossing containers.

Our containers have an almost limitless number of customisation options including colour coating internally and externally; decorated lids; anodised; with knurl or smooth rims; embossed or debossed; and with an added EPE liner, a flowed-in seal or a pressure sensitive liner.

All of these combinations allow designers to create packaging with outstanding shelf appeal. Last year, our pack for Natura Bisse Diamond Cocoon Bath and Shower Balm was nominated for Metal Pack of the Year at the UK Packaging Awards 2019.  It is also a great example of a pack that balances brand values, green credentials and consumer experience.

A 50ml jar from Roberts’ Softline Extreme range was selected for its leak-proof quality, easy to open and close ability and the suitability of aluminium for warm damp environments found in the bathroom or shower. The aluminium container was customised with an internal clear lacquer and printed with a translucent red to give a true metallic effect. Satin varnish was used to make the product tactile and the lid was embossed with the company’s iconic logo.

There we have it; look no further than metal to fulfil all your packaging needs. If you’d like to find out how we can help you with your packaging needs, visit the team on at PCD Paris, 29 – 30 January on stand B41.
