Huge Accordion Into Gate Poster Mailer – 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's super-cool fold is a self-promotional mailer from Cavanaugh Press in Baltimore.
The piece was designed to show off some of their capabilities through a clever, oversized format and bold, colorful design. It was printed on their HP Indigo 10000 digital press, and was designed to use almost every square inch of the nearly 20x30˝ imageable area. Then, they folded the piece entirely by machine on their hi-tech Standard Horizon Digital Crossfolder AFC 566 F.
We think this promotional mailer is an outstanding exercise in creative formats, digital printing and automation for maximum impact and efficiency.
