Send a Greeting Card That Moves in the Hand
Tilt one in your hand and the picture jumps: a candle lights, a face winks, a printed message appears where a blank space was. That is a 3D lenticular greeting card, made on a 31pt lenticular lens whose surface is a grid of tiny ridges, with your artwork interlaced behind them so every viewing angle shows a different frame. They start at $631.57 for a set of 50, rated 4.8 out of 5, and they roll off a New York press that has been printing since 1999. This is the card nobody sets down flat, because the motion earns a second look before a word is read.
These cards punch far above a flat print. The motion does the work, so a birthday, a holiday, a product launch, or a save-the-date lands with a second look built in.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 50 starts at $631.57, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count climbs to 1,000, so a full run for an event or a mailing costs far less per card than a small test batch.

What Are 3D Lenticular Greeting Cards?
3D lenticular greeting cards are folded cards printed on a 31pt lenticular lens, so the image changes as the card tilts. The lens is a ridged surface, and your frames are interlaced behind it: one angle shows the first image, another shows the next, and the card appears to animate as it moves. People reach for them when a flat card would get lost, because the motion earns a handle and a second pass instead of a glance. If you want the same lens effect in a wallet format, the 3D Lenticular Business Cards run the identical technology at card size.
What Size Should a Lenticular Greeting Card Be?
Pick the finished shape that fits the moment. The 10" x 7" sheet folds down to a 5" x 7" portrait card, the classic greeting-card shape. The 7" x 10" sheet folds to a 7" x 5" landscape card for a wider layout. Two more sizes fold to a clean 6" x 6" square, one creasing along the horizontal and one along the vertical, so you can match the fold to your artwork. Need something else? Custom sizing runs up to 12" x 12". Every card ships scored so the fold is crisp, and you decide whether 4OVER4 folds it to the finished size for you or sends it flat so you can fold it yourself. All 4 fold sizes and the printing options are laid out below exactly the way the live configurator presents them.
How Does the Flip Effect Work?
A flip is one full change of image. Choose 2 flips and the card alternates between two pictures, a before and an after, a closed door and an open one, a name and a face. Step up to 3 or 4 flips and the card cycles through that many frames, which is enough to spell out a short animation or a countdown. The effect direction decides how the viewer triggers it: top to bottom means they tilt the card forward and back, left to right means they turn it side to side.
Plan each frame as its own full-color image, keep the motion simple, and the lens does the rest. Two clean frames read far better than four busy ones, so pick the number of flips that your artwork can carry. It is the closest a printed card gets to playing a short clip.
What Stock and Ink Options Are There?
There is one stock here, and it is the whole point: a 31pt lenticular lens, thick enough to hold the ridged surface that makes the flip work. You choose your ink coverage, either 4/0 for full color on the front with a blank back, or 4/4 for full color on both sides when you want a printed message inside. Upload print-ready art as a PDF, JPG, or PNG.
Before anything runs, you can send the job straight to production or request a free online proof to check the interlaced frames first, which is the safer call on a motion card. Every card is scored so the fold holds clean, whether you receive it folded or flat.
How Much Do 3D Lenticular Greeting Cards Cost?
3D lenticular greeting cards start at $631.57 per set of 50, which is $12.63 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 1,000. A run of 100 is $653.55, 300 is $1,092.89, and 1,000 lands at $1,861.75, where each card costs just $1.86. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Wally makes a card that moves
Why a $631.57 stack of lenticular cards gets turned over, not tossed.
A 3D lenticular greeting card flips between two, three, or four images as you tilt it, so people stop and play with it instead of setting it down. A set of 50 starts at $631.57 on a 31pt lens. Pick a fold size, set the flip direction, and Wally prints motion into paper.
How Do They Compare to Other Cards?
Lenticular cards are the pick when you want motion doing the talking, but they are not your only way to stand out. If you are weighing a different special effect, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The Holographic Business Cards catch light with a rainbow shimmer, and the Foil Business Cards add a metallic shine, both at a lower starting price than a lens card. The chart below lines up the closest siblings so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.
How Fast Can You Get 3D Lenticular Greeting Cards?
Lenticular printing takes real time, because your art has to be interlaced and aligned precisely behind the lens for the flip to land. Standard production runs 22 business days, and when your date is tighter you can move to a 15 business day option. This is not a same-day product, so plan a lenticular greeting card ahead of a launch, a holiday, or an event rather than the night before.
The upside is reliability. 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time and 82% ship early, so once your date is set you can count on it. Pick your speed in the configurator and see exactly what the faster option adds before you commit.
