Slide Sleeve Tear-and-Pull Mailer - 60-Second Fold of the Week
We're always amazed when a format that feels like it must have been done by hand is actually manufactured by machine! This clever sliding interactive mailer from our friends at Information Packaging in Toronto is both engaging and production efficient!
Simply tear off the lead edge of the mailer, and pull the tabs for a smooth, sliding reveal right and left and a merge of imagery in the center. A lift of the cover opens to an interior two-panel spread. You won't want to miss this trifecta of marketing, paper engineering and production!
