Luxe Pack Monaco is returning to the Grimaldi Forum September 27-29, as the world slowly opens back up. “As we have always done, and even more so in the current health situation, Luxe Pack Monaco aims to support luxury brands and their packaging suppliers,” says Fabienne Germond, director, Luxe Pack Monaco.

Luxe Pack Monaco brings together packaging suppliers, designers, manufacturers, decorators, 3D printers, glass molders, and more. Beauty industry executives will have the opportunity to meet with more than 450 companies at the show this year, including 69 new exhibitors.

“Nothing can replace physical meetings,” Germond says. “Digital technology cannot replace the pleasure of seeing products in real life, of touching new materials, of feeling new formulae…professionals need to share, make contacts…18 months without a show…” she says, adding, “There is an irresistible desire to come back to Monaco, to see product innovations and network, far from the interiors in which we have spent a lot of time.”

A Focus on 'Luxe in Green'

Luxe Pack 'in Green' has played an important role in Luxe Pack Monaco over the years, and continues to be a highlight of the show. Visitors will have the opportunity to preview international 'green' trends, with a focus on sustinability and eco-friendly packaging materials.

There will be a dedicated exhibition space, conferences, and an awards ceremony focusing on innovations in sustainable packaging.

Conference Highlights at Luxe Pack Monaco

Conferences this year include top beauty industry executives discussing various topics, including sustainable packaging and luxury packaging innovations.

Conference highlights include “Packaging & Plastics: What Future for the Luxury Sector?” on September 27th, 1:45 - 2:30 pm. Speakers include David Bayard, technical and sustainable packaging development director, L’Occitane; and Jacques Playe, global head of packaging and product development, L’Oreal.

On September 28th, 11:00  - 11:45 am, experts will discuss “Going Behind the Curtains of Today’s Sustainable Packaging Claims.” Speakers include Sophie Bonnier, head of environmental excellence, Kering Group and Joanne Chidley, founder of The Beauty Kitchen.

Digital Continues To Play An Important Role for the Beauty Industry 

Digital is increasing in importance, and affects every aspect of our daily lives and businesses.

Luxe Pack’s 'My Luxe Pack' platform is its digital version—an online extension of its five trade shows held throughout the year.

“Our digital platform offers visitors the opportunity to prepare for their visit, discover our full exhibitor list, and select conferences," says Germond, adding, "And for those unable to attend in-person, it is a way to stay connected to the Luxe Pack community."

Safety measures will be implemented at Luxe Pack Monaco, organizers say, aligned with the strictest recommendations of the French and Monaco authorities.
