Timestrip wins cosmetics award

Timestrip has been recognized at the annual PCD (Perfumes, Cosmetics & Design) Awards in Paris. The awards are designed to single out packaging and design innovations and this year’s winners included Lancôme, Chanel and Bobbi Brown. 

Chosen for particular mention in the Jury’s Special Distinction category, Cargo Cosmetic’s collaboration with Timestrip on its lip glosses received praise for its innovation and consumer appeal. A diploma was presented to Tristan Allen, Timestrip’s commercial director, at the PCD Congress and Exhibition in Paris.

European legislation now demands that cosmetics products have a PaO (Period after Opening) symbol clearly displayed, to show consumers the shelf-life of the product once opened. Embedded in the cap of Cargo’s lip glosses, the integrated nine-month Timestrip enables consumers to keep track of how long the lip gloss has been open and gives them an accurate indication of when it needs to be replaced.  

‘It’s very satisfying to receive another official recognition of our work with Cargo,’ said Tristan Allen. ‘This project resulted in a product innovation which was not only functional, but also met the very demanding aesthetic requirements of the cosmetics sector.’
