Antilope Cardboard wins cosmetics ECMA award

Belgium packaging manufacturer Antilope Cardboard, a division of the Antilope graphical media group, has won an ECMA award for their innovative perfume packaging design.

The group’s packaging for Mylène Cosmetics ‘Femme Fatale’ fragrance brand was deemed to be the best in the ‘Carton’ section of the ECMA’s beauty and cosmetics category.

Antilope attributes some of its success to its new Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing machine, which uses micro cutting, slitting and milling to open up new opportunities for designers.

The machine also allows for lower initial costs and makes it easier for smaller volume jobs to be placed.

Linda Corremans, Antilope Cardboard’s manager, commented: “Mylène wanted the current Femme Fatale packaging to be upgraded. For a state-of-the-art company such as Mylène it is vital for its cosmetic products to stand out from all the rest. Hence the crucial need for ‘out of the box’ thinking.”
