Fabulous Integrated Flipper Mailer: 60-Second Fold of the Week
Fasten your seatbelts — this week's super-cool fold is so exciting, we actually think you're going to want to invent a reason to use it! This integrated flipper mailer from our friends at NEXT/GLS Precision Marketing in Brooklyn Park, Minn., is unique, eye-catching, and incredibly efficient to produce.
Generating almost no waste, this format printed 2-up on an HP Indigo 10000 digital press. The one-piece design folds down and glues into a dynamic flipping format that reveals a cartoon in motion. The response rate is impressive, too. Notice: this is a can't-miss episode!
