  • Closure with lenticular lens insert
    Patent number: 6065623
    Abstract: A dispensing package closure with a lenticular lens insert wherein the closure includes a retaining ring for easy positioning and secure attachment of the lenticular lens to the closure top. The closure with lenticular lens insert provides a selected visual effect whereby the lenticular lens provides the illusion of three dimensional images, moving images, or multiple images when viewed from different angles. The enhanced visual appearance of the closure with lenticular image increases the saleability and marketability of products sold in dispensing packages sealed with the closure with lenticular lens insert.
