Collistar chooses Lumson’s latest airless

The airless system proposed by Lumson, which combines a glass bottle and an extruded pouch, was chosen by Collistar for its Perfecta line.

Airless with a glass bottle

Named “Tag-System” (for Techno Airless Glass System), Lumson’s new airless system features two major innovations: a glass container and a patented manufacturing process for the extruded pouch, which looks like a preformed with a rigid collar and flexible body.

That is precisely the container that Collistar, a leading Italian cosmetic brand, recently chose for the launch of its for the launch of its new product Perfection Serum, which is part of the anti-ageing line Perfecta.

Practical and eco-friendly

The management team of the Italian manufacturer of cosmetic packaging products has nick-named the system Eco-Lock, due to the product’s two functional characteristics:

A tamper-evident feature, thanks to a blocking system between the pump and the inner pouch that avoids the tampering of the bottle once it is filled in and helps protecting the product.
The “Eco-Lock system", which allows unscrewing the pump and extracting the full separation of the plastic components from the glass bottle, in order to recycle glass with glass and plastic with plastic. The packaging is therefore fully recyclable and ecofriendly.

Customised decorations

Lumson also proposes a wide range of decorations, in particular what they call, on the one hand, the “Glass Enhancer” that implies water lacquering of the inner of the bottle in order to enhance the natural beauty of glass and, on the other hand, the “Mirror Effect”, through a metallic lacquering of the inner of the bottle.

“In brief, explains Lumson’s CEO, our new airless container combines the tremendous aesthetic and environmental advantages of glass, with a perfect suitability with high viscosity formulae, a product restitution rate exceeding 95%, and the fact of being a very simple product with a very practical top filling system, and eventually the fact that the pouch and the container can be separated easily to facilitate the product recyclability, and that the pump can be used in any position. And, I was just about to forget the cost issue! It is a very competitive packaging. The beauty of the glass bottle, the techno advantages of the airless system and the ecofriendly attitude were the main issues for Collistar to choose TAG-Techno Airless Glass System. In addition to the container itself, we also customized and decorated the entire Collistar product using a dark blue water based spray colouring and a shiny gold hot stamping on the bottle, gold UV metallization on the pump and dark blue colouring on the overcap hot stamped with the Collistar logo on the top”.

The Tag-System is available in the follwing sizes: 15, 30 and 50 ml.
