Patent ID: 8310761

Claim:
A lenticular product comprising: a uniform lenticular sheet having a back surface and a front surface, the front surface having lenticules defining vertices and valleys therebetween, wherein the back surface has graphic material including an image; and a clear coating deposited on a portion of the front surface that is less than the entire front surface, thereby resulting in adjacent lenticules being free of coating, the clear coating at least substantially filling the valleys of the lenticules within the portion to form a filled region having a surface that is substantially tangent to the vertices of the lenticules, wherein the lenticules above the image remain intact; wherein the image on the back surface is in substantial registration with the clear coating portion formed on the front surface resulting in the image being viewable through the clear coating without lenticular distortion while the surrounding graphic material of the back surface that is viewable through the lenticules that are free of the clear coating exhibits a lenticular effect; wherein the clear coating is deposited within a perimeter formed of a perimeter coating that forms an upstanding, closed perimeter wall that extends above the front surface, the clear coating having a thickness that results in the clear coating extending above the front surface but being contained by the perimeter wall.
