Angled Iron Cross Gift Wrap Catalog Mailer: 60-Second Fold of the Week (Video)
It's Christmas in June here at Foldfactory! This week's selection is a really fun catalog wrap mailer from Toys "R" Us. The mailer was sent around the holidays and it was designed to look just like the neatly-tucked ends of a wrapped gift. Fugitive glue holds the angled panels of the iron cross wrap tightly closed so the much-anticipated catalog can get through the mail in perfect condition.
The outside is decorated like gift wrap, and the interior provides lots of real estate for bold imagery of the season's most popular toys! This strong and versatile wrap holds an 80+ page catalog with style. This gift wrap format is a great idea for any occasion, we think. Enjoy!
