Peeling those French Fries…
Hello,
A vending machine company came up with an idea that boosted their sales by 30% - guess what it was – right a lenticular application. Here is the full story:
A vending machine company had a great idea for a new vending machine – one that prepares hot French-fries as you wait – pretty cool. Well they wanted to take it one step further – so they created a lenticular backlight poster for the front of their machines. The picture shows the French-fries jumping right at you.
Well their idea made sales jump as well – to the tune of 30%. Not bad for one idea.
What is your success story?

The box makes the sale…
Hello,
Product packaging has always been a challenging field. How can one create a catchy yet useable package? Add to that environmental waster concerns and issues of sustainability and you have some work to do.
Wouldn’t it be great to make your packaging do more? How about adding some lenticular to your packaging? How about lenticular packaging?
Lenticular packaging is just like regular packaging - it is just cooler. Imagine that great kids’ toys packaged in lenticular. The question would be what does the child want more – the toy or the box? Imagine having a whole series of collectable items as part of a line of a children’s toy – do you think it would drive sales as well?
What is your design idea? Share it with us.

Printing on almost any machine
Hello,
Lenticular - 3D printing has come a long way. Today’s printers are versatile and can accept many types of substrates. Lenticular can be printed on offset and digital printers with relative ease and productivity.
Digital printers run the spectrum from the low end Epson Stylus series to the high-end Nur flat-bed printers. The common denominator is that these digital printers are commonly used for short runs and to print poster size images. Digital printing can be done in two ways:
- Print the image on paper (photo quality) and then have it laminated onto the lenticular.
- Print directly on the lenticular. These can be done with many larger flatbeds such as the Nur – where the lenses have been treated with a special solvent.
Offset printing is for the masses and is very doable today. Many professional printers have invested in presses dedicated to lenticular printing. Offset printing can be used to mass-produce fine quality 3D images for magazine covers, notebook covers, postcards and many more applications. In general the offset printing is done on soft lenticular that is 60LPI and higher.
More later.
