Vertical Wrapped Accordion with Tucked Cover - 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's selection is a clever format from Print It in Vancouver. It's a promotional piece for Jeans Day — a yearly fundraising campaign to raise money for the BC Children's Hospital.
There's a curved short flap on the cover that tucks into the diecut edge of a jeans pocket. The piece then opens into a tall, vertical accordion with perforated trading cards and event information.
We think you'll like this small-but-mighty brochure idea!
