Metapack showcased a completely redesigned luxury packaging solution at MakeUp in New York 2026, introducing a 100% aluminum case for Diptyque’s lip wax. This new case, which replaces traditional zamak construction, retains the design's premium aesthetics while significantly reducing weight to just 43 grams when empty. The redesign, which took twelve months, integrates four aluminum parts: a cold-forged base and lid with stamped top and bottom plates. This advancement emphasizes the feasibility of using aluminum in high-end beauty packaging and will also be featured at Luxe Pack Monaco from September 28 to 30, 2026.
