Depending upon the desired format, you can add-on many other special options, including rotary die-cutting, perfing for coupons and tear-offs, remoistenable glue for bounce backs, reply envelopes, T-shirt iron-on color printed transfers, pop-out puzzles, structural paper rising pop-ups, unusual fold sequences and format constructions, latex scratch rub-offs, ink jet imaging variable data or consecutive numbering for contests, plus special coatings, inks, papers and plastic substrates—many of which can be applied or created in just one press pass.

Now, for the first time ever, compelling new animated & 3D printed lenticular formats can be mass-produced for major advertising campaigns and promotions. Our patented, advanced all in-line rotary web, flexographic, gravure, letter press and digital imaging print methods and in-line finishing systems cut the costs, time and hassles associated with traditional sheeted printing that requires additional post off-line, multi-step converting. The result is: faster job turnaround, on-time delivery, with more-competitive pricing.

To better understand the how WCG/APAP’s patented Lamigram® rotary web fed print technology has revolutionized 3D and animated lenticular, here's one sample project example:

SAMPLE PROJECT: An advertiser needs a direct mail catalog for a large quantity mailing. The catalog must be unique and make a strong, memorable impact with the advertiser's target prospects. The flat finished size needs to be approximately 5" x 11" in order to qualify for the lowest USPS automated bulk mail rate. The elements would include: a stunning 4-color lenticular image (as large as possible) as well as a 14 page, 4-color bleed brochure/carrier with multiple perforated coupons. It needs to be a completely self-contained mailer with an outside die-cut window to reveal part of the interior 3D/animated lenticular image in order to lure the recipient inside the piece.
Quantity: 1,000,000 to 40,000,000 +

Option A: Traditional Sheet fed Printing with Off-Line Finishing
     
Step 1: Sheet fed print the 4-color, 3D/animated image on lenticular.
Step 2: Off-line: Die cut the 3D/animated lenticular piece to size.
Step 3: Off-line: Print the 4-color paper brochure/carrier.
Step 4: Off-line: Die-cut window into the paper brochure/carrier.
Step 5: Off-line: Perforate all coupon-desired pages.
Step 6: Off-line: Fold and saddle stitch the 4-color paper brochure/carrier.
Step 7: Off-line: Tip-on the 3D/animated lenticular piece into the brochure/carrier, and wafer seal catalog unit closed for mailing.


Option B: APAP’s Efficient and Patented Rotary In-Line Web Offset Printed Lamigram® Method --- THE SUPERIOR SOLUTION!

Step 1 of 1:

All IN-LINE Finished Rotary Two-Web Print Production:


Web-offset print the 4-color, 3D/animated lenticular image on the (APAP) "LentiClear Lens 2004" thin-gauge material, simultaneously co-print, and laminate the 4-color paper brochure/carrier together, plow or ribbon fold the carrier to size, spine-glue backbone, die-cut window, perforate coupons, final trim and spot gum seal the catalog closed, ready for mailing.

The entire direct mail catalog & lenticular printed image above is produced & combined all at the SAME time --- all in one amazing press pass!
