Trish’s Tip: “Nothing beats this fold for wow factor. It’s far from mainstream, which makes it special. As a designer, you have to be up for the challenge. If you want to make it easy, use a bold pattern or color and focus your message and graphics on the interior center panel (or add an insert). If you’ve got a lot of content to place, be intentional and precise and fold down paper mock-ups to be sure your art is absolutely perfect.”
-Trish Witkowski, Foldfactory founder
