'Bold' Stitched Asymmetrical Gate: 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week, we're featuring an Asymmetrical Gate Fold format with a "Bold" design, and a saddle-stitched surprise inside!
From our friends at Integ in Waco, Texas, this piece was designed to promote a lunch-and-learn event — but we see lots of potential for this format to be used for marketing opportunities across other verticals as well. We think you're going to love the format, and the special print effects in this week's featured design.
