Meet our folding buddy

We recently had the pleasure of attending a seminar with folding guru Trish Witkowksi from foldfactory.com. We love her enthusiasm about unique printed pieces and agree with her sentiment, "Why print a Yawn when you can print a Wow"! Trish graciously featured Kallen Printing in two of her recent videos. Thanks Trish!










FOLD of the WEEK #134: Tri-fold with Surprise Lift-up Panels


January 25th, 2012

I was in Calgary last week for International Print Week on behalf ofNorQuest College Centre for Excellence in Print Media and I was giving workshops at SAIT Polytechnic and one of my workshop attendees, Kallen Printing (longtime foldfactory fans), brought me a huge box filled with gorgeous print samples. It was hard to pick one to feature this week - but I did it! This piece was part of a larger bound piece, and it was in a pocket at the back. The format is so smart and functional as well as beautiful in its application. It’s a great use of a tri-fold format and short folding to create reveal panels and an organized presentation of the content. You’re gonna love it, eh?





FOLD of the WEEK #137: Brochure with Tucking Tear-off Closing Mechanism


February 15th, 2012

This week’s fold is a companion piece to #134 from a few weeks ago – the tri-fold with surprise lift-up panels. It’s a four-pager with a die-cut tab that tucks into the cover. The tab is perfed and serves a very practical purpose as a tear-off keepsake with important contact information on it. Sent to us by Kallen Printing of Calgary and designed by December 2nd, this piece was part of a larger marketing package and I just thought it was one of those great, simple and practical ideas that can offer a lot of value. I hope you like it.
