This great little piece is worth keeping. Consider making the piece a calendar, or a series of inspirational quotes that anyone would want to keep on their desk. You can apply this format to virtually any information or imaging that is appropriate to your product or service. For example, if you are a dog groomer, you may want to have a several cute dog images, with an explanation of the service offered on each flap.

Clear Plastic Business Cards

Pop-Up Business Card or Postcard

Give your marketing efforts a boost with 3-D effects on their materials. Pop-up pieces become points of conversation in their own right. You can pop-up a person, as seen here, so that they become a self-standing card, or you can pop up any object. For example, a real estate agent may want the “FOR SALE” sign to pop-up in the yard on a postcard. Apply this creative technique to your own business model.

Modified Gate Fold with a Die Cut

One of the best ways to make a piece stand out is to experiment with folding patterns and possibilities. The golf ball die cut, combined with the gate fold makes this piece appealing. People are likely to share this with others based on its strong design elements.

Iron Cross Mailer

Iron cross mailers not only provide ample printing real estate, they also present the opportunity to tell a story in a clever and innovative way. The finished size of this cross fold is 4.25″ x 6.25″ and the flat size is 13″ x 18.5″. It’s compact when closed, and perfect for mailing. The real beauty of an cross fold lies in its unfolding. By using creative cross over imagery and copy on each panel, the cross fold becomes an interactive, tactile experience. Coupons, magnets, and inserts can easily be glued or placed inside the piece as well.

“Wallet” Mailer with Inserts

This die-cut wallet with soft touch coating is a show stopper. The flat size is 4.2″ x 10.5″ and the finished size is 4.25″ x 5.125″, ideal for a mailing. There are a few things that really make this piece stand out. The first is the soft touch coating. Its velvety and smooth texture elicits an immediate response; it feels rich and elegant. Once opened the inserts and the fine attention to detail take over. The $500 bill was used for the offer, and the business card contains important information about how to contact the company. It feels great, it’s clever and makes a lasting impression.
