Custom Pop-Up Business Cards

Custom Pop-Up Business Cards

A business card can do more than share your phone number. AxiomPrint’s custom pop-up business cards use die-cut shapes and scored folds to give your design a three-dimensional look when opened. A smoothie cup, a house, or a shape based on your logo can become part of the card itself.

These 3D business cards work well for introductions, coupons, and promotional handouts. They fold flat for distribution and open to reveal your design, with room for contact details, an offer, or a QR code.

A Card That Opens Into Your Design

The cuts and folds are planned around your artwork. As someone opens the card, the shape takes form and reveals the message inside. You can feature a product, introduce your business, or present a special offer.

Add a QR code linking to your menu, website, booking page, or promotion. Plan its placement along with the folds so customers can scan it easily without bending or flattening the printed code.

Sizes & Materials

Choose your size and paper based on the shape you want to create and how the card will be used.

Available Sizes

Check the flat and folded dimensions on your approved template before setting up the artwork.

The paper you choose affects how the card folds and holds its shape. Our team can review which stock suits your pop-up structure.

Printing & Finishing Options

Print on the front only or use both sides to give your design more room. The outside can introduce your business, while the inside carries your offer or contact information.

Printed Sides

• Front Only
• Front and Back

Finishing Options

• Glossy 2 Sides
• UV High-Gloss 2 Sides
• Matte Lamination 2 Sides
• Soft Touch Lamination 2 Sides
• Gloss Lamination 1Mil 2 Sides
• Leather Lamination 1 Side

Gloss adds shine, matte gives the card a more subdued finish, and soft touch adds a smooth feel. Leather lamination adds texture to one side. The selected finish needs to work with your paper and fold layout.

Special Options

Use foil or raised spot UV on a logo, headline, or selected detail. A few well-placed accents can give the card a distinct look and feel.

Digital & Raised Foil

• No Foil
• Digital Foil - Front, Back, or 2 Sides
• Raised Foil - Front, Back, or 2 Sides
• Foil Colors: Gold and Silver in matte or shiny finishes, Copper, Rose Gold, and Holographic, subject to the selected foil process.

Digital foil adds metallic detail to the printed design. Raised foil adds a metallic finish you can feel. AxiomPrint uses Scodix equipment for specialty raised foil and raised spot UV effects.

Raised Spot UV

• No Raised Spot UV
• 40 Micron - Front, Back, or 2 Sides
• 60 Micron - Front or Back

Raised spot UV adds a clear, raised gloss to selected areas. Foil and raised UV placement should be reviewed around folds, cut lines, and moving sections of the card.

Custom Die Cutting & Pop-Up Structure

Die cutting is included. The cut shapes and scored folds work together to form the card’s pop-up structure.

Your design can follow the shape of a drink, a food item, a house, a vehicle, or another image connected to your business. Before production, the cut and fold layout needs to be reviewed to make sure the card opens as intended.

Who It’s For

Pop-up business cards suit businesses that want to show what they do through the card’s shape and design.

• Restaurants, Cafés & Beverage Shops: Feature a signature drink, a menu item, or a special offer.
• Real Estate Professionals: Use a house-inspired design to share contact details or promote a listing.
• Retailers & Product Brands: Create a card around the shape of a product.
• Marketing Agencies & Print Resellers: Offer clients a custom format for promotions and branded handouts.
• Event Organizers & Exhibitors: Give attendees a card that connects back to your booth, event, or business.
• Creative Professionals: Use the card’s structure to show your style and introduce your work.

Common Use Cases

Use your custom pop-up business cards for everyday introductions or build them around a specific promotion.

• Business Introductions: Share your name, contact information, and services in a custom pop-up design.
• Coupons & Promotional Offers: Reveal a discount, redemption code, or offer when the card opens.
• Product Launches: Feature a product shape and link customers to more information with a QR code.
• Trade Show Handouts: Give visitors a reminder of your business to take home.
• Restaurant & Café Promotions: Share a featured item, loyalty offer, or link to your online menu.
• Packaging Inserts: Include a thank-you message, brand introduction, or offer with an order.

Artwork & File Preparation

Use the approved template for your size and pop-up structure. Mark the cut lines, score lines, and any areas receiving foil or raised spot UV.

Keep text, logos, and QR codes clear of cut edges and folds. Include the required bleed, use high-resolution images, and prepare your artwork in CMYK. If you are printing both sides, check how the artwork lines up when the card is flat and when it is opened.

Production Turnaround

Choose the production schedule that fits your project.

• Regular: 7 business days.
• Rush: 4 business days.
• Express: Available upon confirmation with production.

Turnaround depends on artwork approval, the pop-up structure, and your finishing selections.
