We print directly onto the rear surface of the lenticular plastic sheets, and then back up with multiple passes of opaque white ink. If a backside design is to be printed, then the sheets go through the press again and print over the white.
To understand our printing process, please view the video here: sheet fed UV offset lenticular printing.
Proofing time: 4-8 business days, depending on the effect. Production time: generally 4-5 weeks from final proof approval. Rush may be possible.
Should you require 1-200 posters between the sizes of 510 x 510 mm and 1168 W x 1727 H mm, we can refer you to a colleague in the USA who specialises in art gallery quality digital print production. If the size exceeds a single panel, then multi panel (tiled) murals are possible, but only where the artwork design adheres to strict guidelines and the use will be indoors.
Why choose us?
- We still manufacture onshore by means of offset printing directly onto the lenticular plastic. Others might ‘design in Australia’, but offshore their production. We proudly support Australian manufacturing and jobs. If you value peace of mind, the guaranteed use of premium quality lenticular sheets, inks and varnishes, then you’ve come to the right place. When it comes to lenticular printing, you really only get what you pay for.
- We bring your ideas to life with Motion and 3D lenticular special effects.
- We encourage creatives to exploit the power and impact of lenticular printing to engage, captivate, and entertain their audience.
- We invite you to use the power of lenticular printing to communicate your message in a novel way and stand out from the crowd.
- We’re here to deliver your vision.
- We can supply either the finished product, or just the printed lenticular sheets, for others to finish.

Die-cutting is essentially the same as using a single cookie cutter blade to stamp out the print shape. Prints are first cut down to individual rectangles or squares which includes an extra 3-5 mm all around. A handful at a time of these prints is loaded into the cutting machine, and a ram then pushes the stack through the stationary blade’s outline. The die cut prints then continue through the hollow interior of the blade’s outline, whilst the waste falls off the outside. Die-cutting provides a very clean, smooth cut, without nicks or ink chipping. The dies are expensive in comparison to the cost of a forme, but the cutting expense actually works out cheaper on large jobs. In fact, if we already have an existing die, then that’s a saving for you. Our maximum die-cut size is 250 x 220 mm.
Forme-cutting on the other hand cuts out one or more prints from a single press sheet per impression. The blades are essentially steel rulers bent to the shape of the cut outs and partly embedded into a plywood sheet. The exposed edge is sharp like a knife, whilst blunt rules are used to score rather than cut. To avoid the cut prints dropping out of the sheet whilst still in the cutting machine, they’re held in situ by ‘tags’, and then must be stripped out from the sheet afterwards in a secondary process.
The main advantage of using a forme is that multiple tasks can be performed at the same time. These can be any combination of cutting, scoring, perforating, and punching of holes. The maximum size cut can also be up to 20-30 mm smaller than the press sheet size. Disadvantages are the potential for remnant bumps to remain on the plastic lenticular print at the tag sites. Also, ink may slightly chip at the tags and along the cuts.
