Simply Effective L-Cross Mailer: 60-Second Fold of the Week
Nothing makes us happier than to share a format that is not only creative but also effective and accessible. This week's solution from MGM National Harbor Resort in Oxon Hill, Maryland is the total (mail) package.
Produced by Bennett Graphics in Tucker, Georgia, this simple L-Cross mail format provides an interesting way to tell a story or create suspense. Printed digitally and folded by machine, this format is - as we like to say at Foldfactory - a "low-budget wonder."
