Smart Event Invitation with Slide and Lock Insert - 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's selection features a quick and clever solution for an event invitation. A sleeve holds a diecut insert that slides out (but not ALL the way out). The insert locks using a simple mechanism, exposes the content on the insert, and then slides right back inside. Designed by The George Washington University and produced by ColorCraft (a Corporate Press Co.), we think this idea could inspire lots of other applications.
Trish Witkowski shares her super-cool folding samples and helpful production tips. View the “60-second Super-cool Fold of the Week” archive at www.foldfactory.com.
