Project Description
The package is a crisp white mailer featuring a zipper-perf that separates the year "12" into parts "1" and "2". Once opened, the mailer reveals two beautiful notebooks and a personalized letter encouraging the recipient to keep one and share the other with someone who matters to them.Production Lesson(s)
Rather than going to press twice (once for the mailer and again for the notebook pages) we ganged both pieces on a single sheet and did a simple paper switch from the text weight to the cover stock. Turns out it was less expensive to waste half the sheet we printed than to create 2 plates for a second piece.
