" 3D Effect
3D Effect creates depth on a normally flat surface. The 3D Effect effect is generated by splicing several frames together to trick the viewer into seeing the 3D effect. Approximately 12 images of the subject matter must recorded in a strictly defined manner.
3D lenticular effects can be incorporated into most lenticular images and designs. Bright, light imagery produces the best lenticular 3d effects.
3D Effect is ideal where there is a flow of people such as at shopping centres, receptions, window displays and point of purchase displays in stores. The lenticular 3D effect can be combined with other effects like lenticular Full Motion Video Effect.

Packaging and design
One original idea of having Jagger photographed naked on a cross was scrapped by the record company for being "in bad taste".[9] Initial releases of the album featured a three-dimensional picture of the band on the cover by photographer Michael Cooper. When viewed in a certain way, thelenticular image shows the band members' faces turning towards each other with the exception of Jagger, whose hands appear crossed in front of him. Looking closely on its cover, one can see the faces of each of the four Beatles (a response to the Beatles' inclusion of a doll wearing a "Welcome The Rolling Stones" sweater on the cover of Sgt. Pepper). Later editions replaced the glued-on 3-dimensional image with a standard photo, due to high production costs. A limited edition LP version in the 1980s re-printed the original 3D cover design. Immediately following the re-issue, the master materials for re-printing the 3D cover were intentionally destroyed. The 3-D album cover was featured, although shrunk down, for the Japanese SHM-CD release in 2010.
The original cover design called for the 3D lenticular photo to take up the entire front cover, but finding this to be prohibitively expensive it was decided to reduce the size of the photo and surround it with the blue-and-white graphic design.
It was the first of four Stones albums to feature a novelty cover (the others were the zipper on Sticky Fingers, the cut-out faces on Some Girls, and the stickers on Undercover). The maze on the inside cover of the UK and US releases cannot be completed. It has a wall at about a half radius in from the lower left corner. One can never arrive at the "It's Here" in the centre of the maze.

"How Much?...Top
As with any print process there are a set of parameters that will need to be established first. Typically what type of effect? Size? Quantity? In what situation is the Lenticular being used? These are key in determining the price and subsequent success of the finished pieces.
We have two ranges of Lenticular under the “imotion” umbrella. A premium range and a value range Lenticular. All carry the same important guarantees. Giving you the comfort of knowing your Lenticular promotion will work perfectly from the first to the last.
The value range Lenticular is new and has been developed specifically for those brands that don’t have huge “above the line” budgets, yet still require the same eye catching sexy movements for their promotions/displays.
The premium range allows you the piece of mind to know you are having the best association of quality with your brand. The technology will be delivering all its benefits in its purest form. Such as outstanding depth in your 3D, as well as the ability to insert even more frames of information for smoother sweeter animations and morphs.
“How do I know whether to choose value or premium Lenticular”? It is our job as professionals to match the best process for your brief so you will experience total satisfaction. Part of our process is to listen and understand your specific request and match it with the correct method. We can of course quote you on both then discuss the merits of each leaving the final decision to you.
There is a minimum set up charge which will vary depending on your particular brief. The good news here at Riot of Colour is that the minimum set up charge allows for just one copy if you wish."
