What is Lenticular? Similar to holograms, lenticular printing can create dazzling 3D effects, eye-catching image flips, and even animation on a flat printed surface!
Imagine this: You’re filtering through all the business cards you’ve just been given at a luncheon or you’re at the local bookstore shopping for a new read. As you go through the cards or book titles; suddenly – you stop. You can swear you just saw one of them move. You can’t resist, it’s almost as if it’s calling you and without thinking about it, you reach for that card/book. Your full attention has been captivated and what you’re looking at does move – as if truly coming alive.
That is Lenticular.

Modern lenticular printing has been around since the 1940s, with roots going back to the invention of the Stereoscope in the early 1800s. Some of the most well-known examples of lenticular printing are the prizes given in Cracker Jack boxes showing images such as a blinking eye. Modern examples include advertising graphics, like the kind often seen in airports. Originally used as novelty items, lenticular is now a powerful marketing tool.
Recent advances in lenticular printing technology have improved print quality and reduced costs, making lenticular an affordable option for advertising, direct-mail, and even fine art. Lenticular turns any printed piece into a captivating keep-sake.
A lenticular image is actually made from two or more images that are electronically sliced into narrow strips and re-assembled in alternating order. This is called interlacing.
This interlaced image is then printed (in reverse) on the back of a clear plastic sheet. The front of the sheet has many long, thin ridges running along the surface, which are actually lenses – as few as ten and as many as 200 per inch – called lenticules. These lenticules act as miniature magnifying glasses, magnifying only one set of the strips at a time (depending on the viewing angle) and effectively blocking out the other set(s). When the viewer moves, or if the picture is turned, a different set of strips is visible, and the printed image appears to change.
In the case of 3D lenticular, the interlaced file is composed from a sequence of images of objects that appear to pass in front or behind each other. The stereoscopic effect is achieved because the lens shows a slightly different view to your right eye and your left eye, tricking your brain into seeing depth. This 3D illusion can be used along with flipping, animation, or other effects for some truly spectacular imagery.
