Custom Lenticular Art Guidelines

Stock Lenticular - Please call for available designs.
Over Printing - We can overprint (silk-screen) on the lens material. The silk screened layer will appear to float on top of the lenticular images.

Template Size:


  • Full Wrap -3.5" vertical and 9.25" horizontal- full bleed. Final trim size is 3 15/32" x 8.875"
  • Half Lenticular - 4.625" W 3.5" H
  • Spot Lenticular - 2.5" Circle
Bottle Printing - Select the Tall 28 or SuperTwister T30 as your Lenticular platform, and you can print your message and or logo on the neck of the bottle ... adding to the overall impact of your message. Custom Lenticular Art Submissions:
  • Picture "Flip" - Send two or three pictures or illustrations the same size.
  • Zoom - Send 1 picture for same image zoom, or multiple images (5 maximum) for "animated" zoom. We will determine actual size of each image. You should indicate which image should be the starting point (smallest) and which is the end (largest).
  • Spiral - Furnish us with still photos from a motor driven camera, or in this case a short video recording. The factory will isolate 5 images and use them for the animation sequence.
  • 3D Photographs - Make a color copy of the photo and indicate on the copy which layer is which. The factory will scan and separate the photo for you and send you a proof.
  • 3D Illustrations - Create your Illustration in Adobe's Illustrator or Photoshop and divide it into the 4 - 5 layers of your choosing. Indicate which layer is which. Be sure each layer is a complete layer... rear images need to overlap the ones above them as the completed image shifts as you view the finished product. Factory will do color separations and focus the layers.
