Frequently Asked Questions
Do 3D pop up cards cost more than regular cards?
Yes, typically $12-$39 versus $3-$8 for a flat card, because each one is cut, folded and assembled by hand in multiple layers. In return you get a keepsake most people display for months - or years - instead of tossing it after opening.
Will a pop up card fit in a standard envelope?
Most come with a matching custom envelope sized to the folded card, so mailing is as easy as a regular card. Oversized designs may need extra postage - see our guide on how to mail a pop up card for specifics.
One card, zero risk of being forgotten.
