Aisa was pleased to participate in the 30th edition of FCE Cosmetique, held in São Paulo, Brazil.

Aisa team at FCE 2026

Recognised as the largest trade show for the cosmetics industry in Latin America, FCE Cosmetique brings together the entire value chain, from raw materials and packaging to machinery, contract manufacturing, and services. The exhibition is a key meeting point for cosmetic brands, packaging suppliers, and manufacturing specialists looking to discover the latest market trends and innovations.

As a leading supplier of tube manufacturing equipment and present in Brazil since 1983, Aisa could not miss such an important event. The country remains one of the world’s largest and most innovative beauty markets, driving demand for packaging solutions that combine sustainability, recyclability, premium aesthetics, and consumer appeal.

This year was particularly special for us as we welcomed visitors to our own booth for the first time. It provided an excellent opportunity to meet many of our customers, partners, and industry colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere while sharing a taste of Switzerland with our traditional Läckerli biscuits.

The exhibition also offered a valuable opportunity to engage with cosmetic brands and packaging professionals beyond the tube manufacturing community. Many visitors showed strong interest in packaging solutions that help reduce plastic consumption and improve recyclability. Among the innovations presented, our paper-based tube solutions attracted significant attention, illustrating the growing demand for renewable materials and more sustainable packaging alternatives.

Decoplas™ and paper tubes showcases at FCE 2026

Another highlight on the Aisa booth was Decoplas™ technology, which generated considerable interest among visitors looking for the flexibility of extruded tubes without compromising on decoration quality. Combining extrusion with advanced labelling technology, Decoplas™ enables premium 360° decoration while offering excellent production flexibility and sustainability benefits.

Beyond the business opportunities, FCE Cosmetique once again demonstrated why it is considered a must-attend event for professionals active in the Brazilian cosmetics industry. The exhibition was very well-organised, attracted high-quality visitors, and provided an excellent overview of the trends shaping the future of beauty and personal care packaging.

And, as always in Brazil, the event was characterised by a warm atmosphere and positive energy.

A sincere thank you to everyone who visited our booth. We look forward to seeing you again next year!

TRACE tube receives Silver at the 2026 Tube of the Year Awards https://www.aisa.com/news/trace-tube-receives-silver-at-the-2026-tube-of-the-year-awards/ Fri, 29 May 2026 12:53:34 +0000 https://www.aisa.com/?post_type=news&p=75874 We are proud to announce that our company has been awarded the Silver Trophy in the Component category.

The TRACE cosmetic tube received the Silver Award in the “Best Process / Component Innovation” category at the 2026 Tube of the Year Awards, organised by the Tube Council of North America (TCNA).

Manufactured in a Ø50 mm format and composed of a 350 µm metallised polyethylene-based multilayer laminate with EVOH barrier film, TRACE enables true 360° decoration around the tube body while maintaining the mechanical strength and barrier protection required for high-end cosmetic applications. Unlike conventional overlap welding, Decoseam™ uses an internal reinforcement strip to precisely edge-weld the laminate, creating an exceptionally smooth and wrinkle-free seam for superior visual quality.

TRACE also integrates an innovative monomaterial flip-top closure, replacing the traditional multi-part shoulder and cap assembly with a single lightweight component. This design achieves up to 70% weight reduction compared to standard solutions while supporting improved recyclability.

The tube delivers a striking metallised appearance without the use of aluminium foil or metallised PET, helping meet increasingly strict recycling requirements while maintaining strong shelf appeal.

Compatible with tube diameters from 19 mm to 63.5 mm, Decoseam™ technology opens new possibilities for cosmetic tube producers seeking to combine premium decoration, sustainable materials, and high production performance. The technology is compatible with a broad range of laminate structures, including PCR-containing and paper-based materials, supporting the industry’s transition towards more recyclable and resource-efficient packaging solutions.

The Tube of the Year competition recognises innovative and technically advanced tube packaging solutions from across the industry. The 2026 winners were announced during the annual conference in the United States.

At Aisa, we believe that strong performance starts with confident people.

To better support our customers and their teams, we are pleased to introduce our new training catalogue, designed to strengthen skills, improve daily operations, and get the most out of Aisa equipment.

Our training modules cover key topics such as:

  • machine operation
  • process optimisation
  • maintenance
  • spare parts and consumables management

They are built to help teams work more efficiently, reduce downtime, and gain confidence in their day-to-day tasks.

Beyond performance, training also plays an important role in creating a positive working environment. When operators feel confident and well-prepared, they work with less stress, make fewer mistakes, and contribute more actively to production.

The catalogue includes different levels of training, from refresher sessions to advanced programmes, combining onsite support with follow-up remote sessions to ensure long-term results.

Aisa, in collaboration with Hoffmann Neopac and Blue Ocean Closures, is proud to introduce a packaging breakthrough: PaperX FiberTop, the first tube fully recyclable in the paper stream, in compliance with CEPI/4evergreen 2025 guidelines.

This revolutionary tube sets a new standard for eco-friendly packaging in the cosmetics and oral care industries, combining high performance with outstanding sustainability.

PaperX FiberTop is composed of over 85% FSC-certified paper laminate. What sets it apart is that not only the body but also the shoulder and cap are made from fiber-based materials, a first in the tube packaging industry. A thin EVOH barrier layer provides effective product protection across the entire structure, while maintaining full compliance for food-contact applications. This innovation represents a major step forward in eco-designed tube packaging, significantly reducing plastic use without compromising safety or functionality.

Key environmental benefits

  • Plastic reduction of up to 87% across the entire tube, including shoulder and cap
  • Fully recyclable in the paper waste stream (CEPI/4evergreen 2025 compliant)
  • Carbon emissions reduced by up to 65% compared to standard Polyfoil® or COEX tubes with low-profile caps (Ø50 mm)

Compatible with Saesa® laminate tube technology

The PaperX tube is manufactured using Aisa’s SAESA®100 laminate tube-making line and available in formats ranging from Ø35 to 50 mm. The solution supports premium visual effects, including embossing, allowing brands to combine sustainability and shelf appeal effortlessly.

“Our mission is to engineer next-gen tube forming technology that enables sustainable packaging at scale. Together with Neopac and Blue Ocean Closures, we’re proud to bring the full-fiber vision to life.”
— Yan Gex-Collet, R&D Business Developer, Aisa

See it live at PPW and Interpack

The PaperX Fiber Top will be showcased at Aisa’s booths during upcoming international trade shows, including Paris Packaging Week (PPW) and Interpack 2026. Be sure to stop by and discover its innovative features firsthand!
