Lenticular product

A multi-ply mount for displaying an image in a lenticular environment comprising:

• a lenticular sheet having a back surface and a front surface, the front surface having lenticules defining vertices and valleys therebetween, wherein at least one select portion of the back surface has graphic material including an image;
• 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 that defines a windowed region;
• a reverse-mounted picture that is physically separate and removable from the lenticular sheet and lies in a different layer relative to the graphic material on the back surface of the lenticular sheet, the reverse-mounted picture facing the back surface of the lenticular sheet, wherein the reverse-mounted picture is in substantial registration with the clear coating portion formed on the front surface resulting in the reverse-mounted picture 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, thereby providing a lenticular effect outside of the windowed region through which the reverse-mounted picture is viewed without lenticular distortion;
• a backing layer that is separate from the lenticular sheet and is removable therefrom, the backing layer having a top edge joined to a top edge of the back surface of the lenticular sheet, while a remaining area of the backing layer is initially not adhered to the lenticular sheet and can be separated therefrom to create a space between the backing layer and the lenticular sheet;
• an adhesive layer formed on one face of the backing layer that faces the back surface of the lenticular sheet;
• and
• a release liner removably adhered to the adhesive layer;
• wherein once the reverse-mounted picture is introduced into the windowed region in a desired orientation so as to be disposed along and face the back surface of the lenticular sheet, the release liner is removed and the multi-ply mount is sealed by bonding part of the backing layer to the reverse-mounted picture, and the remainder of the backing layer to a border region of the back surface that contains the graphic material.
