Creative Shaped Tri-Fold Invitation - 60-Second Fold of the Week

By Trish Witkowski

This week's solution is both simple and fun. A luau-themed event invitation for Spradling International Marine, this clever idea utilizes a classic tri-fold format and modifies the perimeter shape into a theme-appropriate object (we're not telling you what it is — haha!).

Designed by Bryan DiGiovanna and produced by Pageworks on an HP Indigo 7500 digital press, this short-run solution will prove that great things can be done with simple formats in small quantities.

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.
