Abstract:
A method of fabricating plastic products with integral Lenticular lens material, comprising:providing a Lenticular lens material comprising a Lenticular lens layer having a first surface comprising optical ridges and a second surface comprising an outer ink layer bonded to a transparent lens layer; applying a thermal protective substrate to the outer ink layer comprising an ink with a predetermined opacity level; forming a Lenticular insert from the thermally protected Lenticular lens material; positioning the Lenticular insert in a mold cavity of a plastic molding assembly; and operating the plastic molding assembly to process a liquid plastic charge into the mold cavity at a molding temperature and to form a plastic object; wherein the substrate is adapted for thermally isolating the outer ink layer during the operating of the plastic molding assembly.
