Arcade Beauty Debuts a Paper-Based Sampling Solution for Beauty Products

Arcade Beauty has dedicated itself to creating sustainable solutions for the beauty industry. The most recent innovation in Arcade's portfolio is the Paper-Based Samples collection, which offers beauty brands four environmentally conscious sampling options for makeup, skincare, haircare, and fragrance. This collection represents a significant shift towards greener practices in product sampling, featuring redesigned versions of Arcade’s existing technologies using paper-based laminates.

"By 2030, just as we will no longer manufacture non-recyclable products, it will no longer be acceptable to throw away unused beauty products, whether in a sample or full-size format,” says Carl Allain, CEO of Arcade Beauty. “Our vision is to enable smart sampling and responsible full-size products.”

The line consists of four redesigned paper-based laminates: 90% Paper BeautiPod, 76% Paper Thermoform, 48% Paper ScentSeal, and 63% Paper Packette.
