Simple Pop-Up 'Golden' Ticket Holder Format: 60-Second Fold of the Week
Get ready for something fresh and simple and wonderful. This week's solution is from Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. Designed by their in-house creative team and printed by Benchemark Printing, this eye-catching mailer is called "The Golden Ticket" by the Williams admissions team.
A golden envelope arrives in the mail with a simple, purple carrier that opens to present the recipient with a pop-up, personalized golden ticket announcing their acceptance into the college.
This brilliantly simple format works without glue or tape, and is a great way to deliver something special.
