Fold of the Week: Fun with Corner Fold Formats
This week, we’re having some fun with the Corner Folder. I’ve got four different ways to change it up, and I think you'll be surprised at how flexible this format can be.
Here’s what’s great about these examples:
- The Corner Folder can take on many personalities if you play with the triangular flaps.
- It can also be folded into a rectangular proportion that avoids the non-machinable surcharge that square format mail will incur.
I hope this episode makes you rethink the possibilities of using a Corner Folder for mail and marketing campaigns. Thanks for watching. I appreciate you.
