T-Cross Spinner Business Card: 60-Second Fold of the Week
We love versatility at Foldfactory, and this week we're sharing a clever format for a folded business card that also shows promise scaled-up as a full-sized brochure!
Designed and produced entirely in-house at SunDance in Orlando, Fla., this business card features shimmery raised print and a die cut that reveals a spinnable version of the SunDance logo. Take it apart, and you'll see that it's actually a T-Cross format that could easily translate into an engaging brochure solution as well. Trish will show you how it's done!
