4 LENTICULAR EFFECTS OPTIONS
FOR MOVING GIFT CARDS, 3D TRADING CARDS, 3D BUSINESS CARDS, ANIMATED POSTCARDS
Before you order, make sure that you are getting the correct effect that best suits your artwork or messaging of your current lenticular print project. Inkable offers 4 types of Lenticular Effects; please take the time to read and learn about them so that we know we are printing what you need. Flip: Most simple of all lenticular effects, you supply us with two images to interlace into one lenticular image resulting in those two images flipping back and forth. Changes can be seen when the viewing angle is changed, and there is no smooth transition from one image to the other if using completely different images. With flip lenticular animation, remember that less is more!
*Applications: simple messages/taglines + logo combination; featuring two products or services, before-and-after transitions, simple flip advertising, background change + no text change (flashing message effect) Zoom/Morph: Lenticular lenses are seen as horizontal grooves with this effect to create smooth transitions from one image to the other. You provide us with two images that are to be interlaced to produce multi-flip effects to make your images seem as if they are slowly transforming to and from one another. The two images (first and last) will come from you, and we will help create the middle, or “transition” images.
*Applications: motion morph (forward-backward motion); camera zoom effect to highlight logos or brand messages; illusion/transformation effects (for example, from person to animal and vice versa); before-and-after smooth transformations (e.g. old-to-new as in item restoration, house renovation, etc.) Animation: This is the most complex lenticular effect, and involves motion samples. You supply us with either two or three images (in sequential motion, preferably master digital formats or beta cam footage for HD frames), and we develop a lenticular effect similar to the smooth movement of video. It is literally holding a story in your hands.
*Applications: smooth sequential graphics; mechanical action/body movement; “video lenticular”; storytelling; longer marketing pitches True 3D: Depth and perspective are two important benefits to this lenticular effect, capturing the realism of whatever image is to be featured with this specific effect. Most images and art elements can be applied to this style, and the illusion is absolutely convincing and spectacular. As the images in the 3D scene are to create a special “jumping out at you” effect, these lenticular bookmarks are a tad thicker because we will print and merge separate layers to create one “3D image” to be viewed at one time. We will use special digital processing and a different lenticular lens for these bookmarks.
*Applications: special feature of product or service/special product detail highlight; brand launch; custom gift giveaways for fundraisers or corporate events; icon featurette as part of branded marketing kit

TIPS
Excitement, lifetime value, and promotional messaging impact are taken to a whole new level with Inkable’s Lenticular technology. “3D’” Lenticular Cards are dynamic, fascinating, and highly functional when it comes to conveying your message with flair and emphasis.
Whether as 3D Business Cards, Animated Trading Cards, Gift Cards, or Moving Postcards, Lenticular Cards work as corporate giveaways or information (product or service) detailers, “moving” mini posters, special VIP coupons, or even event calendars with branding highlight. Get your Lenticular Cards to work long-term for you to help support your small business’ product or services promotions with these tips: APPLICATIONS AND LENTICULAR EFFECTS. With the technology being highly fascinating with the creation of dynamic “moving” images, there are many ways to utilise this bonzer product.
Direct Mail Marketing: Especially suitable for a new product or service launch, lenticular cards work well as direct mail pieces that are positioned as mail-to-web cards, in-pack cards, membership cards, promotions postcards, VIP gift cards, among other applications. The effect of this printed piece once received by your customers would be much like diecut cards – high value, fully custom, and sure to amplify your brand image.
3D Business Cards: If you’re (or more specifically, your brand) set to distinguish yourself from competition and want to ensure that your business cards (along with your logo, brand promise, and contact details) are more unforgettable than others, you can choose to even have full lenticular animation on the front (telling your brand story or brand promise) and have your details in full colour, on the back.
Catalogue or Magazine Inserts: Too many people use this tactic, but with lenticular cards you are sure to move away from the clutter. Movement instantly draws your target audience’s eyes to your lenticular insert, effectively capturing their attention and favour.
Point-of-Purchase: Larger lenticular cards can also be converted into 3D or animated point-of-sale cards to be placed where foot traffic is high (either in your own small business’ store, on tables in trade fairs, rented mall kiosks, and so on). With animated cards instead of the usual tent cards with static messaging, you can ensure that people stop and notice as the side-by-side movement of the lenticular lens will grab their attention. Use these for product labels, holiday sale markers, new product blurbs…you can definitely launch a creative campaign using these.
VIP Cards/3D Membership Cards Invitations/Trading Cards: Make your marketing efforts stand out by choosing to print lenticular cards instead of the mediocre, “as expected” cards to delight your customers. For these applications, choose the True 3D effect to make important images, taglines, logos, or offers look as if they are popping out from the surface. This works well with lighter, plainer backgrounds, and solid text.
DESIGN TIPS. With so much competition, stand out and make your brand’s proposition and character evident in your lenticular bookmarks’ design and content:
*If you are just getting started with this novel product and are confused how to go about setting up your artwork, kindly shoot us an email and we’ll be sure to get everything sorted out for you.
If you have a vision but can’t do it on your own, hire a professional designer with good references and make sure to direct him or her to keep the design simple and impactful and include all the necessary “working” design parts.
While unique fonts are great, don’t give the users of your cards a hard time. Pick something that is legible so all texts can easily be read. Lenticular Cards really do stand out, so don’t be afraid to inject some creativity when it comes to wordplay and lenticular effects.
Make sure the design of your cards follow the design of your branded marketing materials as closely as possible to aid in brand recall. Always remember to choose the best lenticular effect for maximum impact.
With offset printed cards, a colour shift of 10% is very common. This will be most apparent on artwork with solid color backgrounds. This includes the use of your official CMYK logo and brand fonts. Printing can sometimes make colours darker or lighter, so speak to your designer about this.
