[0054] In this exemplary embodiment, the polymer material of the strip core 2 comprises about 4 wt. %, relative to the total weight, of fillers comprising glitter, with an average particle size of about 250 m according to ISO 13320:2020-0, wherein the polymer material of the strip core 2 comprises a maximum of about 1 wt. %, relative to the total weight, of inorganic fillers and/or organic fillers.

[0055] In this exemplary embodiment, the profile system 1 is further formed such that the front side 3 of the strip core 2 has a decorative coating 6 or a colour application at least in portions.

[0056] The decorative coating 6 or the paint application on the front side 3 of the strip core 2 of the profile system 1 is substantially monochrome. In this exemplary embodiment, the decorative coating 6 or the colour application on the front side 3 of the strip core 2 of the profile system 1 is in the colour white.

[0057] The decorative coating 6 or the colour application on the front 3 of the strip core 2 has a thickness of approximately 2 to 60 m, preferably 5 to 30 m. In this exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the decorative coating 6 is approximately 25 m. The profile system 1 is also formed such that at least one cover layer 5 with a thickness of approximately 2 to 60 m, preferably 5 to 30 m, is arranged on the decorative coating 6 or colour application on the front side 3 of the strip body 2.

[0058] The profile system 1 is also formed so that the rear side 4 of the strip core 2 has a functional layer 7 at least in portions.

[0059] In this exemplary embodiment, the functional layer 7 of the profile system 1 is formed as an adhesion promoter layer. The polymer material of the functional layer 7 is selected from the group of polyurethanes (PUR).

[0060] The profile system 1 is thus extremely versatile and can be applied or attached to a wide variety of objects such as furniture panels, pieces of furniture, particle boards, doors, worktops and the like and, in addition to the function of protecting a narrow side of a furniture panel, for example, can also realise visual or haptic aspects by, for example, the worktops having a profile system 1 which has a visually appealing, haptically perceptible structure effect which has not yet been possible in this form and which significantly improves or optimises the appearance of the entire panel, particularly in the case of a profile system that has been machined/milled on its longitudinal edges.
