How can I obtain examples of printed brochures and/or folders that
have engineered paper, or moving parts. They either move when you open
them, pop-up, slide, fold-out, have die cuts, wheels, and other unique
design techniques.

Hello Peterboro,
How many companies that offer samples of those products would suffice as an answer?
Thanks

Hi! Thanks for the question.

I have found the following brochure designs that fit the categories
you were looking for.

I will start with the most innovative, I saw. These designs and folds
were made into paper train model brochures.

Request for Answer Clarification by peterboro-ga on 30 Jan 2003 14:07 PST

to bobbie7-ga:  I'm hoping for 12-20 samples.  I already received some
great info from easterangel-ga, however, the web links provided were
primarily pop-ups.  Two comments, one, I need to find someone who will
send me samples, and two, I need other types of design techniques,
sliding paper, etc. (see original posting).

Hi again peterboro! Thanks for asking a clarification before making a
rating. I have noted your request and now working on it. I know that
if you ask these companies for samples, they would send you one, would
an email or other contact info be enough so you could send your
request?

Hi! Just to update you on my continuing research, I have not yet
located sliding brochures but I already emailed different printers if
they make these kinds of brochures.

In order to somewhat make-up for this, through the help my fellow
researcher bobbie7-ga.

I would just like to cite one link in bobbie7’s suggestion wherein one
of the brochures has a functional zipper.

It would also be worthwhile in your case to take a look at Lenticular
printed materials as another option and what you can do with them in
marketing campaigns.

Hi again and thanks for the kind words and the nice rating.

PERCEPTIONS answered my email and directed me to a slide chart similar
to a slide brochure you have in mind. They said they could make one
for me so you better call them as well.

Here is a link to the sample:
http://www.americanslidechart.com/slidecharts.html

Meanwhile Custom Popups also responded to me and told me that can make
these kinds of brochures called "pull tabs". They have not made
anything like this before but I presume that's pretty easy for them.
It would also be helpful to email them.

Email: crystal@custompopups.com

Again if something significant comes up from my email inquiries I will
post it here.

Best Regards,
Easterangel-ga

products but do not have samples on their website for slide brochures.

Excellent results.  I continued to search, also, but the researchers
foundadditional, different, and very useful information. Thanks, Randy
