do you remember this paper mr.beaule? i know you do.
Monsieur Beaule, vous reconnaissez ce papier d'emballage, n'est-ce pas?


Explanation:
In my opinion "n'est-ce pas" is a concise and idomatic way of reflecting the rethorical question and the "I know you do".
Besides, since the speaker addresses Mr Beaule directly, I would write "monsieur" in full.
