This week’s creative strategy is an idea that I think you’re really going to like – it’s a simple way to add a 3-D effect using a layered die cut.

Here’s what’s great about it:

This is an easy way to add dimension using a simple die cut strategy. With proper production planning, this approach won’t get in the way of machine production, either.
This technique isn’t just for accordions. You can do this with Roll Folds, and Tri-folds, and any brochure with overlapping panels.

I hope you like this idea. Thanks for watching and subscribing. I’ll see you next week.
