Pop-Ups

Pop-up Mascots are custom-designed, 3D marketing mailers that spring to life the moment they’re opened, making them perfect for high-engagement campaigns. Red Paper Plane’s Pop-Up Mascots are especially effective for college and university admissions and enrollment campaigns, brand storytelling, alumni and donor engagement, and sports team promotions. Their unique, interactive format captures attention and leaves a lasting impression, boosting open rates and response.

Red Paper Plane offers full customization of Pop-Up Mascots, including your brand’s colors, logos, and targeted messaging. Whether you represent a university, sports franchise, or corporate brand, these interactive mailers can be personalized to align with your visual identity and campaign goals. Pop-ups can also be customized for your mascot. For example, an eagle pop-up can be made into a falcon or a hawk.

Colleges love using Pop-Up Mascots in their direct mail campaigns, for college fair giveaways, and for guidance counselor outreach because they’re playful, tactile, and memorable. From encouraging prospective students to apply and inviting prospects to campus for tours or special events like Accepted Students Day to reconnecting with alumni, these 3D mascots deliver an emotional connection while reinforcing school spirit. Red Paper Plane has helped dozens of universities create enrollment boosts and fundraising results using this unique format.

Pop-up Mascots go beyond flat print. They arrive folded and ship flat, but the real magic happens when the recipient opens the mailer, and the mascot instantly pops up into a 3D figure. This “surprise and delight” factor drives significantly higher engagement than traditional mail. With tactile marketing gaining traction, Red Paper Plane’s pop-up mailers stand out from your competition.

Red Paper Plane offers competitive pricing for bulk orders, making Pop-Up Mascots a smart, scalable solution for trade shows, university campaigns, and branded direct mail. Starting at just $3.46 per unit for 1,000 pieces, they deliver premium impact without premium costs—especially considering their ROI through engagement and lead generation.

Red Paper Plane’s production process is streamlined for a 7-day quick turnaround. You can choose from sending mascots in a zip strip mailer with a corresponding 7’ x 10’ insert card for additional messaging, perfect for direct mail, or having them wrapped in a belly band and shipped in bulk, ready to be used at your next fair, conference, or expo or included with existing packages. For urgent needs, the Red Paper Plane team offers guidance on expedited timelines to ensure your campaign hits mailboxes on time.
