Fold of the Week: I've Never Seen This Before
Hi! Something cool arrived at the Foldfactory PO Box, and it’s a unique hybrid format — a clever combination of the Long Triangle Fold and a T-Cross that I’ve never seen before.
Here’s what’s great about it:
- The addition of a single panel changes the format entirely, and adds a lot of capacity for inserts.
- This is a great example of how you can take a cool specialty format and make it more practical if you need to.
I hope this creative hybrid format surprises you as much as it surprised me! Thanks for watching and — I appreciate you.
