Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our pop-up holiday cards? We've compiled answers to common questions about how they work, customization, pricing, mailing, and production timelines.

How Do Pop-Up Holiday Cards Work?

A pop-up holiday card ships flat and springs into a three-dimensional shape when the recipient opens it or presses the sides. Each one is die-cut, scored, and hand-assembled, so a flat panel becomes a cube, an ornament, a pop-up figure, a standing winter scene, or a lit diorama. These are some of the dimensional formats within our holiday greeting cards collection, and because they fold flat, most mail in a standard envelope.

What Are The Ways To Customize A Pop-Up Holiday Card For Your Business?

You can customize a pop-up holiday card at three levels. The first, Personalize It, adds your logo and message to one of our finished pop-up designs. The second, Design It, starts with a blank template for that format, so you control the graphics, colors, and branding. The third, Create It, puts our paper engineers on a fully custom structure built to your concept.

How Do You Add Your Logo And Brand Colors To A Pop-Up Card?

To add your logo and brand colors to a pop-up card, you send us your artwork and brand files, and we place them on the design using our templates and 3D design tool. Each format has its own template, so your logo lands exactly where the structure allows, and you can review the result in 3D before you approve it. Printing uses a 4-color process across the panels, bringing your logo and brand colors to life on the card.

How Much Do Custom Pop-Up Holiday Cards Cost?

The cost of a custom pop-up card depends on the quantity you order, how far you customize it, and the format you choose. Per-unit cost drops at each quantity break, so a larger run lowers the price of each card, while full custom engineering and hand assembly add to a smaller run. You can see transparent per-unit pricing at each quantity before you order, and a free sample pack lets you judge the piece in hand before committing to a run.

What Is The Minimum Order For Pop-Up Christmas Cards?

The minimum order for pop-up holiday cards depends on the design, and runs from a single card on some products to 50 on others. The collection lists pricing starting at 1,000 pieces, but that is a display convention rather than the real floor, and lower-quantity runs are available when you do not need volume.

Will A Pop-Up Card Keep Its Shape On Display All Season?

Yes, a pop-up card is built to hold its three-dimensional shape and stand on a desk or shelf through the season. The cards use coated cover stock from 10pt to 16pt and rigid die-cut structures, several of which are patented, and each is hand-assembled and checked under 100% quality control.

What Can A Pop-Up Card Do That A Standard Flat Holiday Card Can't?

A pop-up card turns the moment of opening into a physical reveal that a flat card cannot, which is why dimensional pieces tend to get kept and displayed rather than set aside. The card becomes a three-dimensional object on the recipient's desk, so your brand stays in view through the season instead of sitting in a stack of flat cards. Some designs go further, like the lightbox cards, where a QR code scan turns the recipient's phone into the light source beneath a layered winter scene, with no battery in the card.

Can You Address And Mail Our Pop-Up Holiday Cards To Our Recipients?

Yes, we can address and mail your pop-up holiday cards to your recipients for you. We insert each card into a USPS-approved envelope, affix a 4" x 3 1/3" address label, and add our First-Class indicia on orders of 200 or more, with postage calculated separately from the card price once we process your list. Mailing time is added after production, so build it into your timeline.

When Should We Send Pop-Up Christmas Cards So They Arrive On Time?

To have pop-up Christmas cards arrive before the holidays, order early enough to allow time for proof approval, production, and mailing, plus the December postal rush. Production typically runs from 3 to 4 business days for a single card up to 15 to 20 business days for the largest listed runs, and done-for-you mailing adds 2 to 7 business days after that. For a custom design, add time for proofing before production starts, and give extra buffer in December when carrier volume is at its peak.
