Standout Gate Fold - Tulip Fold Hybrid Format: 60-second Fold of the Week (Video)
This week's selection is a real standout. It's a holiday card for the Kellogg School of Management, and it's a hybrid format that combines the strongest characteristics of both the gate fold and the tulip fold to create a new and exciting format—with beautiful design by Lindsay C Anderson and impeccable production by Lake County Press.
The profile is unusual, with a raised diamond shape on the cover. When opened from the center gate folding panels, a tulip fold surprise opens and extends into a long layout with gorgeous color and an inspiring quote. The exterior is white with a delicate, contemporary pattern foil stamped in silver. A custom envelope with a printed interior completes this exceptional package. Prepare to be inspired.
