It´s becoming more and more difficult for clubs and brands to provide a truly unique experience for their fans. It seems like every, once unique, feature has been used at least twice at this point. So what´s there left to do?
The next level of textile embellishment
Where previously, classic lenticular technology was only compatible and limited to rigid plastics, our developers have revolutionised the process and created a flexible heat transfer alternative. The outcome provides incredible eye-catching, shape shifting badges which creates a unique feature for any garment.
LENTEX® is used to create unique 3D or shape shifting badges by employing multiple images to create a appearance of animation as the lenticular image is moved up and down or from side to side.
All magic - or not?
The mystique lies within the lenses that filter the primary elements of an image or a picture depending on the angle of view.
Choose the motion
When creating animated lenticular designs, the original digital images can be split either vertically or horizontally, with the lens then matching the choice of direction. The choice, affects whether the animation will occur when the viewing angle changes from left to right or up and down.
However, if the badge is going to be applied to a fabric or garment, most people choose to split the images vertically, so that the animation will occur as the image is tilted left and right, as this tends to work better.
Adding new excitement to an iconic technique
Previously, this method was mostly used for stickers and gimmicks. The fact that you are now able to use this technique as shape shifting badges which can be applied to a garment, gives you the chance to display your logo in ways never seen before.
FAQ
How does LENTEX® differ from traditional lenticular technology? Unlike classic lenticular effects that were limited to rigid plastics, LENTEX® offers a flexible heat transfer solution that can be directly applied to garments without compromising comfort or durability.
How does the shape-shifting effect work? The visual transformation is achieved through a lens layer that filters parts of multiple overlaid images depending on the viewing angle, creating motion, depth, or animation effects as the fabric moves.
How are the images prepared for LENTEX® badges? The original artwork is digitally split either vertically or horizontally to match the lens orientation, determining whether the movement appears when the badge is tilted left-to-right or up-and-down.
Can LENTEX® be applied to any type of garment? Yes — LENTEX® is a flexible heat transfer technique compatible with a wide range of textiles, making it ideal for sportswear, fashion, and lifestyle apparel.
CONCLUSION
Only LENTEX® technology allows spatial depth and movement on textiles combined with different effects: Flip, Morph, Zoom, 3D, Fly-Eye. A completely new design era to emphasise your ideas for garment embellishment.
