Kolmar Korea debuted the paper tube in 2020, the paper stick with mineral paper followed in 2023 and in 2025, the one-hand pump paper pack was introduced as a new packaging innovation. Made from 100% recyclable materials, the milk carton-inspired one-hand pump paper pack helps to reduce reliance on plastic, and offers a convenient way for people to dispense the product, even with one hand occupied.
This sleek and minimalist solution for packaging cosmetics includes a thin, protective layer of aluminum on the inside, and at the end of its usable life, the one-hand pump paper pack's components can be detached for recycling.
Earlier this year, the one-hand pump paper pack won a Red Dot Design Award.
