Let’s think big and fold bigger this week. I’ve got one oversized format featured in three different designs and proportions.
Here’s what’s great about them:
- All three designs are big on style and exciting to open.
- The folding style is the same — Accordion base fold with a Tri-Fold finish — and can be folded entirely by machine. This format can also self-mail if created in the proper size and proportion.
I hope this oversized format gives you even bigger ideas for your marketing campaigns! Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
