Dynamic Self-Mailer with Circular Pop-Up - 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's solution is a super-smart idea for a dimensional self-mailer. Produced by our friends at Graphic Visual Solutions in Greensboro, North Carolina, this fundraising mailer is bold, dimensional and lots of fun to open. Designed by Kris Hendershot and Hayes Henderson at the Wake Forest University Office of Communications and External Relations, the piece uses a simple double parallel folded format to create a circular-shaped pop-up reveal on the interior. The semi-automated production is fascinating, and the production is pristine. A must-see!
