Closed Gate Iron Cross Pocketfolder Hybrid - 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week's inspired selection is a creative enhancement to a classic closed gate format. This beautifully designed, oversized brochure from Finch Paper opens like a classic closed gate. However, when you open the gate panels, one side reveals a stitched booklet insert, and the other reveals an iron cross integration. The two added panels become a protective holder for an accordion-folded insert. Great stuff!
Trish Witkowski shares her super-cool folding samples and helpful production tips. View the “60-second Super-cool Fold of the Week” archive at www.foldfactory.com.
