The invention describes an extrudable coating composition including a coating thermoplastic polymer and particles, wherein the particles are made from a particle material that has a modulus of compression from 0.1 to 100 MPa. The invention further describes a coating on at least a part of the surface of an article, the coating including a coating thermoplastic polymer and particles, wherein the particles are made from a particle material that has a modulus of compression from 0.1 to 100 MPa and that at least a part of the particles protrude from the surface of the coating. The invention also describes a coated article, in particular an imitation branch, a method of coating an article, and the use of particles made from a particle material with a compression modulus of 0.1 to 100 MPa in a coating composition for the coating of articles.

A multidimensional heat-seal emblem having a digitally-printed image on one side in registration to a three-dimensional relief profile. The emblem has enhanced aesthetic impact, flex, stretch, durability and is suitable for soft goods. A method of production is also disclosed that provides 0.05 mm level relief detail with high profile features up to 6 mm in height.
