Arcade Beauty's reinvented ScentSeal technology now offers a more environmentally friendly sampling experience by eliminating the aluminum layer and replacing it with barrier technology that has no bearing on recyclability. Since the 90s, ScentSeal technology has been used for sampling by direct mail, press inserts, and more with labels affixed to cardboard backing. Renewed for the next generation of fragrance fans, ScentSeal now lets customers apply a gel formula directly to the skin.
ScentSeal's outer label is composed of 48% paper and, depending on the format of the backing card, the entire product makes the most of 70% to 90% paper.
Despite several changes, the shelf life and scent experiences are said to be near-identical to the aluminum versions, and all fragrances are suitable to be sampled with this technology.
