By additionally flocking special areas of the digital print, a unique depth effect is created that can also be felt haptically. Whether it’s lettering, geographic shapes or natural effects, the flockage additionally highlights special elements of the finishing.
The digital print applied here is characterized by the creation of a relief, which makes the imprint on the surface haptically perceptible. In this example, the effect of a paper label can be applied to the surface very easily and flexibly. This finishing option is particularly interesting for all kinds of structures or lettering imprints.

Eco Powder Compact
With "Eco Powder Compact", the HEINZ-GLAS Group presents a proven product in a sustainable, luxurious version. The newly developed Powder Compact consists of a slim glass jar made of high-quality, sustainable PCR glass, produced with CO2-free energy plus recycled lime and a screw-on, hinged top made of recycled plastic with space for an internal mirror and a powder puff. The technical challenge in creating the Eco Powder Compact was to achieve the smallest possible deviation in terms of diametre and height of existing beauty products of this kind. The system is refillable with standard powder pans, so when refilling, only the product itself needs to be replaced, not the outer packaging. This gives the consumer the option of putting together his or her own product from various combinations. Another advantage is the protective function of the glass for the product inside. The sturdy glass in the lower part of the Eco Powder Compact protects the product inside from bumps and shocks.
