Packaging system providing spatial or focusing gaps between lenticular lenses and paired interlaced images

A container adapted for producing a graphical image, comprising:

• a clear container wall having a front portion and a rear portion defining an interior space for receiving a volume of a liquid, the wall including a recessed surface offset from an exterior surface of the wall;
• and
• a wrap around label attached to the container wall at the recessed surface and the exterior surface of the wall, the label including a lens element comprising a lenticular lens array with a plurality of lenses positioned within the recessed surface with the lenses abutting the rear portion of the wall in the recessed surface and the label further including an image element extending over the lens element and contacting the exterior surface of the wall such that a gap filled with a fluid is provided between the lens element and the image element, the image element comprising a printed image with graphical data for producing the graphical image positioned adjacent the plurality of lenses near the rear portion of the container wall.

A packaged container adapted for producing a graphical image, comprising:

• a container having a side wall defining an interior space, the container further comprising a surface recessed from the side wall such that the recessed surface is proximate to the interior space;
• and
• a clear plastic, wrap around label with an image element with an interlaced image printed on a first side of the label, the label being applied with the image element positioned in the recessed surface With the interlaced image proximate to the interior space, wherein the label further comprises a lens element adjacent to the image element on the label and positioned on the side wall to extend across the recessed surface and leave a gap between the lens element and the image element, the lens element comprising a lenticular lens array comprising a plurality of lenses having a focal point on or about the interlaced image, whereby the refractive indexes of the lens element and image element and air in the gap are combined to achieve the focal point.
