PCD Conference, Paris 2018

Written by Alex Cosper | January 22, 2018

Packaging, cosmetics and design industry professionals will gather at the 2018 PCD Conference in Paris, France from January 31 through February 1. The annual event focuses on perfume cosmetics with presentations by experts on topics such as regulations, sustainability and printing technology. Here are important reasons for cosmetics vendors to attend this two-day conference programme.

Key Issues

  • wide range of cosmetic packaging options
  • compliance for European regulations on cosmetics quality
  • sustainable materials for more efficient and eco-friendly production
  • various lot sizes emphasizing flexibility
  • quality of printing technology
  • private packaging logistics

Industry Challenges

One of the main themes of the conference will be how cosmetics vendors can compete in the future. Some of the challenges include technical packaging innovations and strategies for future planning. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about industry information that cannot be found online.

Sustainability has been one of the recurring challenges at the conference in recent years because of growing environmental concerns. Last year some of the key issues were trends in how consumers envision packaging, collaboration among brands and suppliers and how eCommerce challenges affect packaging.

Staying on top of industry regulations should be a primary concern of all cosmetics brands. Even though cosmetics is one of the least regulated industries, it's still important to always be up-to-date on compliance issues. In some cases fines can be severe, especially if the labeling contains false or misleading information.

Gain a Competitive Edge

Cosmetics marketers who want to learn more about packaging techniques from various perspectives should attend this event. Innovation is a key factor that differentiates cosmetics brands, so attending the latest industry conference can inspire new ideas and approaches. The conference will be helpful to businesses of all sizes, particularly those that seek to improve on sustainability, flexibility and efficiency.

Learning tips about printing technology alone can help a brand enhance its visuals. Exploring different materials for packaging alternatives may be the key to lowering costs and increasing profit margins.

Summary

The PCD Conference brings cosmetics industry professionals together each year to share information that can help improve product and packaging quality. It's a way to stay informed about the latest global trends in cosmetics and interact with industry experts. The event is organised by Easyfairs Oriex of Paris, France.

Cosmetics professionals throughout Europe should consider attending the 2018 PCD Conference to broaden their knowledge on packaging and design.
