Abstract
An advertising page that is intended to be bound within a publication includes a page portion and an extension portion. The publication is bound along a binding side, and the page portion of the advertising page has a binding side and a plurality of unbound sides. The extension portion of the advertising page is contiguous with a part of an unbound side of the page portion that is adjacent to the binding side and has an inner side that is spaced from the binding side of the page portion. At least a part of the extension portion is folded over to form a folded part. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a sample material is contained within the folded part of the extension portion. The invention also includes a method for making an advertising page.
