"We are thrilled to have won this important international recognition for the third consecutive year and with 3 different products all designed, developed and manufactured in Italy by Mktg Industry. This is the proof that our work is appreciated around the world for quality and innovation, which are the only weapons we have to try to be competitive and unique in an always more global market" states Stefano Focolari CEO & Managing Director at Mktg Industry.
"FLATTY" is a multifunctional packaging with a "Lift and Reseal" label, that can be used either to exchange refills or to carry around your favorite makeup powder. "Flatty" was designed to occupy the smallest possible space (only 5 mm thick), a makeup case that perfectly fits in a small purse, in the gym’s bag, in a jacket’s pocket or in a travel beauty case, and is always ready to be used by a modern active woman always on the go.
But that's not all, only a couple of days after the winning in Paris, the italian company was notified that the “FLATTY” had been selected by an international jury of expert as finalist for the Luxury Packaging Awards 2017 in the best cosmetic packaging category. The awards ceremony will take place at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on Wednesday 13 September 2017.
In order to partecipate to the awards Mktg Industry developed a limited edition of the “FLATTY” using special papers by Cordenons. The combination of innovative, luxurious and refined papers with an innovative product design is what made the difference.
“We cross our fingers, but for us it is alrady a big victory and an honor to have been nominated with the best of..., I sincerely do not think we have much chances to win once again, but we are ther and you never know” ends Focolari.
MakeUp in Paris 2026 once again confirmed the direction in which the beauty industry is moving. Hybrid formulations, multifunctional products, skincare-infused makeup and funny fashionable packaging are no longer emerging trends but they are rapidly becoming the new standard. Mktg Industry had the pleasure of welcoming many international beauty brands, resulting in a dynamic agenda filled with insightful meetings. The event provided a valuable opportunity not only to strengthen relationships with long-standing customers, but also to establish promising new connections with brands looking for an innovative and reliable full-service development partner. To respond to these evolving market needs, Mktg Industry presented a curated collection of more than 50 complete turnkey concepts, developed to interpret the latest beauty trends while significantly reducing development time and complexity. Among the concepts attracting the greatest interest were cross-category hybrid products combining advanced makeup performance with skincare efficacy. Consumers increasingly expect cosmetics capable of delivering immediate visual results together with long-term skin benefits, making multifunctionality one of the strongest drivers of beauty innovation. One of the standout concepts presented during the exhibition was On-The-Glow SPF30 Lip Gloss, perfectly embodying this new generation of hybrid beauty products. Designed as a playful, socialmedia-friendly concept, it combines lip care and sun protection within a glossy lip treatment formulated with SPF30, peptides and hyaluronic acid to nourish, smooth and protect the lips simultaneously. Beyond the formula itself, the concept demonstrates how packaging has become an integral part of product innovation. An interactive UV-sensitive decoration changes colour when exposed to sunlight, reminding consumers when additional lip protection may be needed, while the removable charm chain allows the product to be clipped onto bags and accessories, transforming an everyday cosmetic into a fashionable lifestyle accessory. The concept combines functionality, emotional engagement and strong visual appeal. The growing popularity of SPF-enhanced makeup and funny, playful-inspired concepts reflects consumers' increasing demand for multifunctional products that combine skincare benefits, innovative packaging and engaging user experiences, an evolution perfectly embodied by the On-The-Glow SPF30 Lip Gloss. Innovation at Mktg Industry also extends to sustainable packaging solutions. Among the concepts receiving significant attention was the new Glass Bottle Celebrity with Refillable Airless System, developed to combine premium aesthetics with practical sustainability. Featuring a recyclable glass outer bottle paired with an interchangeable PP refill cartridge, the system has been designed in line with the objectives of the PPWR while preserving formula integrity through advanced airless technology. It represents a tangible example of how sustainability can become an integral part of premium product design rather than a compromise. For Mktg Industry, the exhibition represented much more than a showcase for new product concepts. It was an opportunity to strengthen long-term partnerships, initiate exciting new collaborations and reinforce its position as a strategic development partner for beauty brands worldwide.

A packaging concept created to make a real difference for brands, formulas, and the environment. Developed in line with the objectives of the PPWR, this new solution reflects the growing demand for more sustainable and responsible cosmetic packaging without compromising on premium aesthetics or product protection. The airless technology helps preserve formula integrity and efficacy by minimizing air exposure and contamination. In addition, the system allows the product to be fully dispensed, ensuring consumers can use the formula down to the very last drop while reducing product waste. The refillable design promotes reuse and waste reduction, supporting a more circular beauty model. To further improve recyclability and simplify waste separation, all components, except for the glass bottle, are made of mono-material PP. The airless pump is also designed without metal parts, providing an additional advantage in terms of recycling efficiency and sustainable design. The refills and their caps are also entirely made of mono-material PP, allowing consumers to dispose of each empty refill directly into the PP recycling stream after every recharge, supporting a more efficient and responsible end-of-life process. With this launch, Mktg Industry takes another step forward in packaging innovation, offering beauty brands a solution that combines design, functionality, and sustainability in a single product. Protect your formula. Protect the environment.
