Dozens of beauty industry professionals queued on the plaza outside Monaco’s Grimaldi Forum on October 24, for the opening of the three-day event marking Luxe Pack’s 25th year as the showcase for premium packaging. The fact that the waiting visitors—from countries ranging from France to the U.S., Russia, China, South America and beyond—enjoyed the warm, sunny morning at the entrance adjacent to the turquoise blue Mediterranean Sea was a bonus and, as always, set the mood for several upbeat days of packaging discovery.

 

Inside,visitors are available to 370 exhibitors including the latest cosmetic,personal care and fragrance packaging innovations,which are showed in the airy halls decorated with eye-popping flower arrangements of huge floppy-head blue hydrangeas, birds of paradise and large bunches of brilliantly colored roses, a signature of the upscale show.
