IPC and Alderson Group produce Kleenex pop-up print ad

IPC and printer Alderson Print Group have produced an exclusive pop-up print ad for tissue brand Kleenex that will appear in the May issues of some of the publisher's flagship women's titles.

The insert, which will appear in several magazines, including Marie Claire, Woman & Home, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home and Living, comprises a four-page glossy card bearing the slogan: 'It's like 80 little pashminas in a box.'

When the card is opened, a full-size tissue box containing a Kleenex Ultra Soft tissue pops up. inviting the reader to touch the product.

The page backing the pop-up contains information about the new tissues and features images of former model and radio presenter Lisa Snowdon modelling a dress made of tissue.

The pop-up box was produced by Alderson from a single sheet. It was cut, folded and glued to create a mechanism that enabled it to pop up across the spine of perfect bound magazines.

The initiative was developed by IPC Innovator, the publisher's centralised insert and cross-platform direct response division, media agency Mindshare, Kleenex and Alderson.
