March 2012 - 3D Products SRL – DPLenticular3D Products SRL

May 30, 2012 – With more than 11000 votes during the drupa exhibition and a stand that was crowded all day long, the organizers are very happy with the second edition of the Lenstar Lenticular Print Award.

The second edition of the LLPA award was organized in the context of the drupa innovation park (dip) with the support of drupa print media fair 2012, in Düsseldorf. The contest was open to any person or company, active in the field of creating, processing and printing of lenticular images. All visual effects such as flips, animation, zoom, morphing and 3D effects qualify for the award, were printed directly onto the back of lenticular sheets except for the new “artistic” category.

Daniel Pierret, DP Lenticular: “We received applications from all the continents and the quality level was very high. Last year, we received about 115 works. In 2012, due to the limitations (one work per category and 3 works per Company) we received a little bit less works (about 80) but the quality was higher due to the selection made by the participants…. As you can see on the website, there are nominees from many different countries like: Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Russia, United Kingdom and the USA !”

The Awards Ceremony of the Lenstar Lenticular Print Award supported by drupa 2012 (LLPA) took place on 4th May at 17H in the drupa innovation park.
