Fold of the Week: Design on the Diagonal
Hi! I bet you need a little break by now, so let’s take a couple of minutes to explore the Diagonal Wrap. It’s a super creative carrier format that doesn’t involve die-cutting.
Here’s what’s great about this specialty fold:
The Diagonal Wrap is artful and eye catching in its design, and yet it’s just a rectangular sheet with angled scores. One of the benefits of this wrap format is that you end up with a poster-sized spread that is great for a full bleed image or large message as a focal point.
If you’d like to see two self-mailing angled designs, take a look at episode 586. And if you’re ready to start playing with this format, download a free template of a diagonal wrap variation here. Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
