Cheap and Chic Double Parallel Pop-Up Mailer — 60-Second Fold of the Week (Video)
This week's solution is a low-budget wonder! From our friends at Fidelity Investments, this cheap and chic double parallel pop-up format is eye-catching and great for mail. Using a double-parallel as the base format, the panels are glued together for a two-panel appearance. A shaped diecut and two short scores are applied and popped-out in the reverse direction for a dimensional surprise.
The result is a semi-automated format with tremendous impact. Trish brings back the "quick-and-dirty" comp to demonstrate how it works. You won't want to miss this episode!
