Lenticular printing is an imaging technology based on cylindrical lenses, enabling 3D effects, animations, and image transitions depending on the viewing angle. Its origins date back to the 1930s when Maurice Bonnet experimented with early lens designs. In the 1940s, the company Vari-Vue popularized the technology in advertising and collectibles. The development of offset printing in the 1960s allowed for greater precision and commercialization.
Digital advancements in the 1990s enabled even more accurate effects and mass production. Today, lenticular printing is widely used in advertising, art, and interior decoration, with modern companies like LentiMax and Lenartika offering advanced solutions in this technology.
