Introduction

In the world of visual communication, lenticular printing is an innovation that continues to surprise, delight, and captivate audiences. This unique printing technique adds motion, depth, and transformation to flat surfaces, turning standard prints into dynamic, interactive visuals. Whether you’re designing for personal, artistic, or commercial use, lenticular printing offers a powerful way to bring your ideas to life.

At TwenT3, we are proud to be the UK’s go-to experts in lenticular printing, delivering high-quality, custom solutions that make a lasting impact.

What Is Lenticular Printing?

Lenticular printing is a process that uses a specially designed lens to create visuals that change based on the viewing angle. It involves interlacing two or more images and aligning them precisely behind a lenticular lens sheet. As viewers tilt the image, different visuals become visible, creating the illusion of movement or 3D depth.

It’s a combination of art and science — and when done right, the results are nothing short of stunning.

Types of Lenticular Printing Effects

Flip Effect

The flip effect allows the image to alternate between two or more visuals. This is ideal for storytelling, comparisons, before-and-after designs, or showcasing multiple products.

3D Depth

3D lenticular printing gives the illusion of depth, making flat images appear layered and lifelike. It’s a favourite for wall art, posters, and packaging.

Animation

Animation effects simulate motion by displaying multiple frames in sequence. Whether it’s a logo reveal or character movement, animated lenticular printing brings action to life.

Zoom and Morph

Zoom creates the illusion of elements growing or shrinking, while morphing transitions one image into another. These effects are perfect for playful, surprising designs.

How Lenticular Printing Works

Lenticular printing begins with selecting or creating the images that will form the animation or 3D effect. These images are digitally interlaced and then printed with high precision. The final print is mounted or printed directly onto a lenticular lens — a plastic sheet composed of small lenses that refract light differently at different angles.

The result? A visual that transforms as you move.

Common Uses for Lenticular Printing

Advertising and Marketing

Brands use lenticular printing for promotional posters, point-of-sale displays, and packaging. The dynamic visuals grab attention instantly and increase viewer engagement.

Custom Gifts

With lenticular printing, personal photos can be turned into flip frames, 3D images, or animated mementos. TwenT3 creates bespoke photo gifts that are both meaningful and memorable.

Event Materials

Wedding invitations, event badges, or thank-you cards — all can be enhanced with lenticular printing to leave a lasting impression on guests.

Art and Installations

Many artists and designers use lenticular printing to push creative boundaries, telling stories and experimenting with perception in ways that traditional prints can’t achieve.
