Dear anD respecteD business partners,

Another year is over and we have the possibility again to

meet on the occasion of unveiling the new collection –

this time, for 2015. Besides plenty of expectations, this

year brings also some significant moments again.

This year, Crystalex CZ, s.r.o. celebrates the 5th anniversary of restarting its produc-

tion. During these five years, we have gone a long way forward, the way of progress,

continuous technological and market development. During the short period, we have

earned stable position in the market again, which we continue to improve.

Considerable factor represents the new melting tank activation; several other sub-

stantial innovations of the production process will be carried out this year to impro-

ve existing quality. The extension of stemware assortment by three brand new and

unique series is very important, too. Countless new decorations, which are governed

both by new trends as well as by time-proved traditions, form part of ample collection

for this year.

And finally, allow me and the entire team of our company Crystalex CZ, s.r.o. to

express herein our thanks to you, for existing mutual cooperation, which we greatly

appreciate. We believe that together we will continue our way; that we will continue

to develop our glorious history and famous brand “Bohemia Crystal”.

Director general

NEW SERiES 2015For upcoming year, massive enlargement of existing stemware assortment has been prepared. Our designers have made three completely unique new ranges. Let’s introduce those suites individually.

GraceJust at the first look, you will surely be at-

tracted by the line Grace that gives literally

the royal impression. Due to its attractively

shaped stem and quite atypically formed

cup, this suite also gives a lot of possibili-

ties for decorations, which emphasize the

uniqueness of this fabulous line.

KateThe Kate suite catches the eye due to its

open cup that smoothly turns to stem.

This modern line exploits different heights

of stems to achieve its elegance; it will be

offered in 8 different sizes. Therefore, it

is a really complex suite offering not only

classic wine glasses but also goblets for

water and beer, liqueur glasses, or recently

very popular champagne saucers.

GoNdolaThe term gondola predominantly invokes

traditional long boats that cruise water-

ways of the historic city of Venice in Italy

and are very popular with tourists. In our

case, we are not talking these famous ves-

sels but the range of vases and bowls with

crimped rims resembling the above-men-

tioned means of transport. This ripple ads

dynamism; in conjunction with a variety of

colours, an ideal decoration arises that fits

to any home.

rebeccaThe new Rebbeca suite has graceful,

smooth touch. Its contours will befit every

occasion; moreover, they offer room for

a variety of modern and traditional decora-

tions.

decaNters with diaGoNal rim

A non-standard rim characterises also

a new line of decanting carafes. Bevelled

neck brings a breath of fresh air to the as-

sortment line, together with serviceability

increasing when pouring out your favourite

wine.

For the stemware best-seller Angela, the year 2015 is truly exceptional. The series, being

always highly desirable, celebrates the 15th anniversary of its birth this year.

Alena Holišová stands behind this hugely successful suite, the designer and also the author

of plentiful decorations created especially for this singular best-seller. Angela is extremely

popular, both in plain and decorated versions, mainly with decorations of any kind. Its shape

just calls out for various techniques and ways to accentuate its lovely face and forms.

We do believe that so much popular article shall please senses of our customers for even

many further years.

Finally, we only have to say: very Happy Birthday!

stemware pieces, tumblers or vases.

For this year, we have prepared a new

collection using this way of decoration

on a new stemware suite Grace that is

already held in a huge interest.

PaNtoGraPh EtchingThe pantograph etching technique is

really a phenomenon in decorative dis-

ciplines of the glass industry. It takes

over 150 years already, when using

this technology an incredible amount

of original decors has been realized on

NovEltiEsin decorations

Nowadays, it is very mo-

dern and trendy to use

noticeable, sometimes yet

striking colours. One of the

popular colour types are so called

neon colours. Combination of such

colours and carefully selected stem-

ware and tumblers has brought the

decoration project neON into be-

ing. The peculiar feature of this

design is using four neon co-

lours in different variations on

the aforementioned articles.

Some wonderful combinations

were brought into existence, which

surely attract even the eye of custo-

mers of more conservative feeling.

The newcomer Ellipse is exceptional in its execution.

Those are ellipses on stemware and tumblers created

with diamond engraving technology, which are addi-

tionally filled with colour to be highlighted. This tech-

nological procedure is highly demanding in accom-

plishment, but its results gave rise to a very specific

modern decor. Ellipse is part of the increasingly po-

pular family of decorating projects; it means that also

these articles will be packaged in a beautiful gift box

with a motif of the decor on it.

other decoratioNsThe decorative techniques offer is really wide: panto

etching (150 years old etching technique now expe-

riencing resurgence), engraving technologies (perfor-

med by modern instruments), painting, screen prin-

ting, decals, sand blasting, spraying... And, of course,

also different combinations of these techniques.

An integral part of this year’s product range forms

also enlargement of pantograph etching decora-

tions in connection with cutting. This combinati-

on gives rise to exclusive decors those rank, due to

their nobleness, to the most upscale articles offered

by Crystalex.

In addition to decorated stemware, also lines of de-

corated vases are launched that traditionally form an

important part of Crystalex production.

Therefore, some decors have the opportunity to be

presented on a wide diversity of forms – on stemware

pieces, tumblers, and vases, which is naturally really

impressive.

The company Crystalex ranks to leading manufacturers of both household and professional

glass. Therefore, its product portfolio covers stemware glasses, tumblers, carafes and decan-

ting carafes, jugs and pitchers, vases, and bowls. They are offered in several different types

of packaging. The most basic is the industrial cardboard box, being also accepted as the

low-cost packaging solution. Predominantly, we prefer superior packages, which offer also

graphic expression.

There are several different printing techniques that can be used. Our company exploits pac-

kaging made by offset and flexography technologies. All our standard products are packed in

charming offset packages. For better orientation of customers, the packaging style consists of

certain different categories. Let’s introduce them individually.lines

decoratioN ProjectsIn addition to plain products, we also specialize in articles embellished by differ-

ent decorative techniques. These techniques give rise to a countless amount of

unique decors. Again: to achieve better orientation for the customer,

we deliver the most interesting, and most successful ones in special

packaging. In comparison with the foregoing, the packaging lines differ

in one substantial fact: respective decoration is displayed also on the

package. This exciting concept is used e.g. for the projects like Water-

fall, Rainbow, or Floral.

moderN PacKaGiNGThis concept is characterized by simple, neat design with the accent

on respective product. The unifying element for all packaging of this

segment is a coloured stripe extending even to cover. Each product

line is characterized by unique colour, which allows to identify individual

suites quickly, for example on the shelves. Stemware with plain stems,

new tumblers, decanting carafes, vases, or bowls can be found in this

type of packaging. Typical representatives of this concept are the Viola

or Sandra suites, or Samba series from the tumbler range.

the “classical collectioN” PacKaGiNGThis year, the Crystalex company has launched a brand new packaging line named “Classical

Collection”. Besides quality and carefully processed stemware and tumblers, this series brings

also the more exclusive packaging with improved surface finish including relief stamping and

partial varnish. Therefore, this packaging line can act as a great gift. This year, series Amoroso

and Grandioso have opened this conception.

romaNtic PacKaGiNG Even at first glance, completely different approach in graphics and presenta-

tion of the respective product lines can be seen compared with the modern

packaging conception. Again, package of each individual line is made in unique

colours; however, the package is made in colours overall. Stemware suites

characterized by shaped stems and more traditional forms of cups are packed

to these packages. Romantic concept is used for stemware suites, such as

Angela, Victoria, or Elisabeth.
