PaperSpecsGallery.com Presents: McLane Stadium Dedication Invitation Package
The in-house design team at Baylor University scored big time on this project—an invitation to the dedication ceremony for their new McLane Stadium. With multiple stakeholders to consider and so many components to orchestrate, the package is one for the record books.

Combining past and present, the designers used a farewell to the old stadium and a hello to the new one as their inspiration. The 130-lb. Cougar played well with the offset printing, diecutting, scoring, and hand assembling that was required to complete this elaborate concept.
Theses creatives definitely get extra points for presentation. The unique, archival box and custom FedEx labels for each recipient were terrific. But my favorite element has to be the authentic turf from the old stadium. Can I hear a huge cheer for texture and great use of recycling! A replica of the coin used for the inaugural coin toss was also included, which gives invitees a special keepsake.
