Get inspired

Our exclusive catalog of industrialized textures is the ideal tool for selecting finishes ready to be engraved onto your moulds.
ML Textures® brings together a wide range of patterns, organized for intuitive exploration through free search, categories, or curated thematic collections.

Behind every surface lies in-depth research: our texture designers interpret moodboards and the latest trends across different industrial sectors, developing finishes that are tested through engraving trials to ensure real feasibility.
Each texture is never an endpoint, but the beginning of a journey—fully customizable and adaptable to your project, enhancing both aesthetics and performance.

In this video, we focus on the world of sports equipment, particularly weights and kettlebells. Handles must ensure a firm yet comfortable grip, supporting movement while improving athletes’ performance.
We selected four different proposals from the “Technical & Grip Textures” collection, designed to combine functionality and design. The final choice fell on Britblad ML22054: a contemporary interpretation of technical fabric, a bold and directional texture, perfect for high-intensity contexts. The selection is completed by:

• Triloby ML1591
• Sebeg ML1529
• Calandra ML21287

Natural references such as leaves, wood, bark, or rocks are among the most commonly used during briefings for the customization of furniture components, seating, garden pots, or tools.

Which is why nature plays a central role in this selection: with its harmonious variety, it is an endless source of inspiration and continues to spark projects with strong aesthetic impact.
Just like in the example of this sole: observe how the texture transforms its appearance and enhances its appeal.

For the organic texture, we chose one of our favorites, Ginkgo ML 21309, inspired by the iconic “split fan” shape of the Ginkgo Biloba—the oldest deciduous tree on Earth.
We paired it with Fiorano ML 20006, one of our bestselling grains, characterized by softened peaks. It conveys a sense of materiality without being intrusive. This satin finish evens out surfaces and reduces the visibility of moulding imperfections.
 

A technical detail that becomes a competitive advantage—making every sole more refined and more desirable.

A real must-have!

Some of our most successful textures originate from a simple, instinctive gesture: a freehand drawing. Sketches, spontaneous marks, sometimes real doodles that become the starting point of a project.

Paper and pencil have always been part of a designer’s toolkit. Essential tools—perhaps now more valuable than ever. Despite being surrounded by computers and increasingly sophisticated technologies, we cannot renounce the primordial act of drawing signs, of engraving marks, of leaving a trace.
 

In the video, the sketch that gives rise to the texture takes shape from a natural element: coral. Its sinuous, unpredictable movement, combined with the symbolic meanings associated with it—health, protection, vitality—makes it an ideal source of inspiration for surface enhancements in the packaging world. Especially in cosmetics, but also in products linked to the sea, from toys to beach accessories.

Look closely: in the video, even the face powder is textured. In fact, we also engrave molds dedicated to makeup powders, where surface detail becomes an integral part of the product’s sensory experience.

The coral-inspired texture is our ML 18263 Coral, born from the convolutions of corals from the Mussidae family, also known as “brain corals.” An organic, enveloping pattern designed to give character and depth to surfaces. Find it in our digital catalogue.
