How to Design an Enclosure With Corel

Many organizations and businesses that have correspondence with a client or potential client will want to use this as an opportunity to enclose a small flier or ad. This might relate to services and prices, or be about some upcoming sale or special. While many will hire a professional to create this enclosure, others (especially smaller businesses) will prefer to do it for themselves. You can use CorelDRAW to make your own ad enclosure.
