A Poster That Moves When People Walk Past

Walk past a 3D lenticular poster and the picture changes on you. In a lobby, a shop window or a trade show aisle, a poster that flips as people move gives them a reason to look again, and on the larger sizes the change reads from across a room.

What Is a 3D Lenticular Poster

A 3D lenticular poster is a large-format print bonded to a 31pt lenticular lens. Your images are sliced into fine strips and interleaved into one printed sheet, and each ridge of the lens acts as a narrow window, so from one standing position your eye meets the strips of frame 1 and from another the strips of frame 2. For a classic flat print, the Standard Posters cost far less.

Cross section of a lenticular poster A ridged 31pt lenticular lens sits over strips of two interlaced images. A viewer standing to the left is steered to the frame 1 strips, a viewer standing to the right is steered to the frame 2 strips. Angle A sees frame 1 Angle B sees frame 2 Interlaced strips: frame 1 and frame 2 alternating 31pt lenticular lens ridges steer each angle to one frame
Cross section of a lenticular poster: the 31pt lens ridges sit over interlaced strips, so each viewing angle reads a different frame.

What Does Custom Lenticular Printing Cover

The trade uses one word, lenticular, for flip, 3D depth, animation, morph and zoom. This poster prints the flip: depth, animation, morph and zoom are not options in the configurator, so artwork built for one of those needs reworking as a flip sequence before you order. The same flip on a smaller face comes as 3D lenticular stickers.

What Size Should a 3D Lenticular Poster Be

Pick the size by how far away people will be. The default 11" x 17" vertical works up close in a window or on a wall; 12" x 18", 13" x 19" and 18" x 24" add presence, and the 23" x 31" is a statement panel for an open floor. Every size comes portrait or landscape. For a flat print in a frame, the Framed Posters are the pick, and the Mounted Posters add a rigid backing. The panel below holds the ink, flip and proof choices.

How Does the 3D Flip Effect Work

Two settings shape the flip. The number of flips decides the story: 2 flips swap between two images, like a day and a night or a before and after, while 3 or 4 build a short sequence, so a product turns through a few angles or a headline reveals in stages. The direction decides the trigger: top to bottom changes as someone looks up or down at the poster, left to right as they walk past it. A hallway poster wants left to right; one people look up at on a wall wants top to bottom.

Where 3D Posters Get Used

  • Movie and film posters: two key frames of the same scene, so a lobby display moves as an audience walks past it.
  • Band and tour merch: album art flipping to tour dates on a poster sold at the merch table.
  • Retail window displays: a product shot flipping to the offer, catching people crossing the window rather than facing it.
  • Museum and exhibit panels: a before and after, or an artifact and its reconstruction, on one panel instead of two.

Preparing the Images for a Lenticular Flip

You do not build the lenticular effect yourself. You supply the pictures, one full-resolution file per flip, as PDF, JPG or PNG, and the press slices and interlaces them behind the lens. What you control is how well the frames flip, and three habits decide that.

  • Keep every frame in the same crop. Same size, same margins, same position for anything that should stay still, so only the change reads as movement.
  • Make the frames clearly different. A before and an after, a product and its price, day and night. Two near-identical frames look like a blurry poster rather than a flip.
  • Keep small type out of it. Fine text softens where the strips of two frames meet. Put the headline in one frame and keep it large.

Ink, Corners and Proofs

Choose 4/4 ink when the reverse needs to carry a message too. Corners are square, with no rounded-corner option on this poster. Before anything prints, you can send your art straight to production or take a free online proof to confirm the size, color and the order of the frames.

A 3D lenticular poster hides 2, 3, or 4 images under a single lens, so the picture flips as people walk past it. Pick your size, set the number of flips, and choose whether the motion runs top to bottom or left to right. Wally prints it on 31pt lens stock built for the effect.

How Fast Can You Get 3D Lenticular Posters

Each lenticular poster is made to order: your images are interlaced, aligned to the lens ridges and bonded, so production runs well past a flat poster's. The rush tier moves the date up when it is tight, and the free online proof lets you sign off on the effect before the press runs.

3D Lenticular Posters: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order just a few lenticular posters for one location?

Yes. The smallest run is 10 posters, so one store or one lobby does not have to buy in bulk.

Can the back of the poster print as well?

Yes, with 4/4 ink. A printed back only pays off when both faces are seen, such as a poster hung inside a shop window, since a wall-mounted poster shows the front alone.

How much does a lenticular sheet cost?

Blank lenticular sheets are not sold here; the lens is priced as part of each finished poster.
