......................................................................................................................
Details:
4D Prints is a Lenticular product that allows you to have two or three different pictures in one. We take your images and create a swapping effect, each image vanishing and then reappearing from one to another as you move it up and down. There is a backing that can also be printed in normal 4 color process. Total thickness with both plastic 4D viewer and backing is 21pt. Only the front side will have the 4D effect.
Below is an example of the front of a 4D print. Click the Transition / Flip button to see it in action.
As you can see above, your images will transition from one to another as you move the card up and down. At the moment, only a vertical transition or flip is available for order.
As you can see above, your images will transition from one to another as you move the card up and down. At the moment, only a vertical transition or flip is available for order.
The bleed must be made bigger for the 4D prints. The total bleed should be .25" added to the cut size. For example, if you are ordering a business card the final size you should upload is 3.75x2.25. The files should still be CMYK and 300dpi as normal. There are some other rules you should follow as well when setting up the front of a 4D card
- It is recommended not to use solid color backgrounds (especially white) in both images
- The effect is much more noticeable if you go with colorful textured backgrounds
- Use bold fonts and avoid fine, small, and thin type
Another thing to keep in mind is how many files will be uploaded. It depends if you pick a two or three image transition.
Two Image Flip:
4/0 = Two images for the front only
4/4 = Two images for the front, one image for the back
Three Image Flip:
4/0 = Three images for the front only
4/4 = Three images for the front, one image for the back
For 500 cards: $200.00 (except designing fee, tax & shipping cost)

'Do Not Disturb' Door Hangers for your Inspiration
Do Not Disturb door hangers can be found in almost every hotel. Such door hangers serve primarily as signs to encourage silence in the lobby and to discourage unscheduled visits. However, they can also help hotels market themselves. Just like promotional bookmarks and calling cards, these door hangers can be given away to customers as souvenirs that also function as marketing tools. Edoardo Flores, a well traveled Italian National has collected dozens of these door hangers from some of the most well-known hotels and lodgings around the world. While each door hanger features its own unique design, all of them are marked with the name and logo of the company.
If you’re planning to make Do Not Disturb door hangers for your own lodging business, it might be a good idea to follow the lead of these established companies and create authentic prints. Stay away from generic door hangers. Choose colors, photos and fonts that’ll reflect the image you’re trying to project for your company. Remember, those Do Not Disturb hangers will be the first thing your guests will see as they check in, and the last before they check out. Design it in a way that will help you make a lasting impression. It might also be a good idea to search for your preferred door hanger template online.
Here are 15 excellent Do Not Disturb door hangers from Edoardo Flores’ collection that should give you some ideas for your personalized door hangers.
