PaperSpecs and Neenah Paper want to free you from your folding rut.
Palo Alto, California – September 1, 2009 – If you’ve been “rolling” along with that tried-and-true tri-fold, but long for something with more flare and excitement, “Beyond the Tri-fold” Webinar will open the creative flood “gates.”
Our guest speaker, Trish Witkowski, is founder of foldfactory.com and creator of the FOLDRite system, a 2004 GATF InterTech Technology Award winner. Her passion for folding is only exceeded by her knowledge of the techniques and their potential for creating eye-catching design.
“Folding is one of the most critical steps in the print production process, but it almost never gets the kind of attention it deserves. As a matter of fact, proper planning for folded materials can dramatically improve your finished product—you just need to know what to do to guarantee success!” says Witkowski.
This self-proclaimed “folding fanatic” will cover:
Foldi-ng and Paper (A match made in heaven or hell – it’s up to you.)
- Folding Relations (The eight families you need to know!)
- Folding Compensation (It’s not money, but if you do it wrong, it’ll cost you.)
- Folding Inspiration (You won’t believe your eyes!)
- Folding Lingo (Speak “fold” with the best of them.)
“The last step in the printing process should actually be the first one designers think about, not only in terms of production, but on the creative side too,” said Sabine Lenz, founder of PaperSpecs.com.
“There’s tangible value in knowing as much as you can about folds. Properly preparing files for folded pieces can save you costly fixes. Plus, using a new folding style can breathe fresh life into brochures, flyers and pamphlets.”
So if you’re frustrated with not getting answers about how to set up your files for folding or don’t know what fold choices you may be missing, “Beyond the Tri-fold” is the perfect way to broaden your folding horizons and maximize the “afFOLDable” possibilities.
This Webinar is free thanks to the generous support of NEENAH PAPER. Space is limited, so reserve your seat today at www.paperspecs.com/webinar.
