The sleeve of Figure 6 may also be characterized as self-supporting or freestanding. That is, because seam 13 integrally joins ends 11 and 12 and therefore prevents lenticular sleeve 200 from unfurling to resume its flat shape after being removed from the manufacturing equipment, lenticular sleeve 200 can be said to Blow molded polyethylene terephthalate container having IML textured label wall and method for making same This patented technology following five years research can deliver stunning glasses free 3D imagery of a quality that far surpassesThe sleeve of claim 81, in which the closed surface is formed by mating sides of the integral laminate that are bonded together by continuous seam.

The sleeve of FIG. 6 may also be characterized as self-supporting or free-standing. That is, because [0023] seam 13 integrally joins ends 11 and 12 and therefore prevents lenticular sleeve 200 from unfurling to resume its flat shape after being removed from the manufacturing equipment, lenticular sleeve 200 can be said to be self-supporting in the shape it ultimately assumes (e.g., a frustrum of a cone, a cylinder, and so on). In the particular shape illustrated in FIG. 6, the circular cross-sectional shape of lenticular sleeve 200 ensures that the upper and lower ends 16 and 17, respectively, are closed plane figures (in this specific case, circles) as opposed to merely linear edges in the case of upper and lower edges 14 and 15, respectively. In the most general case, creation of a sleeve, creates sufficient locations on at least one end of the sleeve to allow the sleeve to be free-standing on a suitable surface. Either of these characteristics, the self-supporting nature, or the free-standing nature, distinguish these embodiments of the invention from other lenticular blanks that have been previously employed to incorporate lenticular images into containers and similar objects.
