Peel-and-Reveal 'Door Drop' Invitation: 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's selection takes a serious subject for a medical convention and makes it interesting and interactive using a simple modification to a Fold of the Week classic - the accordion fold. Designed by Cindy Richardson for client Sunovian Pharmaceuticals, this "door drop" promotion was distributed to the hotel rooms of event attendees to drive traffic to the Sunovian booth.
Simple and creative gluing and diecutting by Dolce Printing added curious peel-and-reveal sections to the interior and began to tell a story. This clever idea offers lots of creative potential for mail and other promotions - enjoy!
