Traditionally, the term ’terrazzo’ was associated with a composite material featuring a medley of marble chips. However, the so-well known pattern have been recently rediscovered and retranslated into a wider array of contexts of everyday life. Terrazzo-print items appeared in stores and boutiques, amongst tastemakers and trend-followers. Even the retailers less susceptible to trends bought in. The terrazzo print can now be found on many objects from our everyday life, starting from the items of furniture and decor and finishing with disposable paper plates and napkins. Now the time has come for Terrazzo to star in the cosmetics industry, too!
We at Nuco are very excited to jump on the terrazzo wagon and share our novelty with you – products made in our unique TERRAZZO technology.
Terrazzo
possible effects - matte and pearls
The Terrazzo products can be matt (matt background with matt fragments) and this is a great option for color correcting powders, matt bronzers, blushes and eyeshadows.
Also, this Technology allows us to create pearly eyeshadows (pearly background with pearly fragments).
terrazzo
possible effects – duo products
It is possible to create:
- a duo product in one godet where one color is a single color without any fragments and the other half is terazzo
- a duo product in one godet where both halves are terrazzo composed of different colors.
Please note, however, that in case of duo we advise square godets as, unlike round pans, they guarantee even division between the two colors.
The pictures of the three products show how the fragments of colors changed the white background. They are the illustration of the fact that in case of Terrazzo, it is impossible to have products where the background color is white.
Terrazzo
tested godet sizes
So far we have tested the following sizes of the godets:
It is important to remember that the fragments can take up to 1/3 of the capacity of the whole godet.
Any other godet size will need to be checked by our Technical and Technological departments before we confirm the possibility to use it.
This technology is not advised for pans as big as 80 mm diameter as the products may not pass the drop test.

the pressing designs
It is possible to put a pressing design on these products, however, the terrazzo products are attractive on their own and the pressing design may only distract attention from the beauty of the product as it is.
Also, in the course of production in this technique, the round godets slightly move in the matrix. This may result in the fact that the pressing design is not clear.

the way to proceed with lab projects
Our lab’s preferred way to work is to receive the benchmarks of background color and fragments separately.
In most cases, even at the lab stage, you will receive several samples of the same SKU to see how the product may look like and what color release it may have depending on the sample.
Terrazzo
Lab samples & rangeboards of production samples
You will receive several pieces of the lab samples from us for you to see how the random godets look like. The number of fragments and their sizes in Terrazzo godets made in production will also differ. That is why you will always receive the rangeboards of the godets made from production for you to see what differences to expect in saleable products.
