3D Lenticular printing (or Stereoscopic Printing) uses images that have been specifically prepared and then printed onto a lens material. This material is a special plastic made up of lenticules, hence the name lenticular printing. The image, viewed through the lenticules, appears to move as it is turned creating dramatic animation or depth. This kind of 3D picture can be viewed by human eyes without any special optical device such as 3D glasses and hence it is also called an auto-stereoscopic image.
In addition to 3D images, lenticular printing can also render other effects such as Animation, Flip, Morph, and Zoom. Its applications include stickers and labels, posters, greeting cards, POP signs, refrigerator magnets, coasters, mouse pads, packaging boxes, bags, bookmarks, rulers, hang tags, CD jewel case inserts, DVD amaray case inserts, murals, book covers, displays, banners, duratrans, etc.
