    Eye-catching designs for packaging

    Packaging serves not only to protect what is inside – it also enhances its optical appearance. In this field there are almost unlimited design possibilities for color effects, materials, shapes and sizes. 

    Attractive packaging often also visually differentiates the personality and individuality of the product and of the brand from the competition. We offer a wide-ranging portfolio of brilliant effect pigments for the packaging materials industry.

    Packaging for cosmetics

    In the cosmetics industry the packaging has to embody the promise of the product. Cosmetic products stand for beauty and elegance – and this should be reflected in packaging of the highest quality.

    Eckart's effect pigments lend that special touch to the packaging: silver variations from silk matt to high gloss, velvety pearl shimmer, and strong, warm gold shades – there are no limits to possible product designs.

    But an attractive appearance does not exclude the necessary functionality. Lasersafe also enables users to create long-lasting and highly legible product markings – popular not only because of the small print.

    Food packaging

    Food products must reach their destination in perfect condition, so protecting the content is of paramount importance.

    Moreover, an appealing external appearance will also catch the consumer's eye – food packaging should make a distinct impression on the customers while it is on the shelves.

    Eckart's effect pigments ensure the desired good looks and satisfy many legal food hygiene requirements.
