This week, the spotlight is turned on Cedar Graphics in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for a very clever box format pop-up solution that was completely automated. The self-mailing piece, designed by PK Network in NYC for client Mediacom Business, uses bold colors and a dimensional skyline for maximum impact—however, the magic is in how it's made. Watch as Trish takes this surprising, one piece pop-up apart to show how it was done. Great stuff!
