'Small But Mighty' Sleeved 9-Panel Roll Fold Promo: 60-Second Fold of the Week
This week, our spotlight shines on a smart little self-promotional piece from Adams Litho in Chattanooga, Tenn. Designed to show-off some of their new capabilities with a recently-installed UV press, the extra long nine-panel roll fold reveals bright imagery and a punchy message delivered in a rich black sleeve.
The unusual length and panel count is fun to unroll, and the size can be made efficient for both offset and for digital presses with a B2 sheet size capability. Enjoy this clever, compact solution!
