Claim:
A container having a lenticular area of the container surface said area having an outer surface constituted by a plurality of lenticular lenses, said lenticular lenses formed onto the outer surface, whereby said lenses are integrally formed in the outer surface of a singular material, the lenses being molded into the surface itself, by a process selected from the group consisting of pre-embossing the lenticular area, pre-extruding the lenticular area, cast embossing by an engraved portion of a mold while simultaneously forming the container, and embossing with an embossing plate within a label-affixing machine, said lenticular area having a composite image formed by a plurality of parallel image lines facing into the container, said lenticular lens areas on containers selected from the group consisting of flat-faced and curved containers in which the graphics on the curved containers are selected from the group of a complete image wherein the print image lines are compressed to provide a complete image which matches the optics of the pitch of the lenticular lens grid in its curved orientation and the non compressed print alignment to produced visual illusionary effects of image lines going into a clear container.
