About LINPopUp

In our office in Gelsenkirchen Beckhausen (NRW), the ideas and designs for LINPopUp Cards have been developed since 2010 – and produced with great attention to detail in our workshop in Vietnam.

We – the Bastler Von Beckhausen (BVB) – are happy to take your suggestions for new motifs and turn your ideas into reality.

How are LINPopUp cards made?

Design and craftsmanship play the most important roles. Each LINPopUp card is intricately cut by laser, then folded and glued by hand. The total production time is approx. 30–60 minutes per card. What makes them special: a three-dimensional object on the inside – arranged at a 90° or 180° angle – unfolds its full splendor when opened.

What distinguishes LINPopUp cards?

Attention to detail & elaborate production

In a careful manufacturing process, all details of the motif are meticulously crafted to make the three-dimensional object come alive.

High-quality paper

We exclusively use chemical- and pollutant-free paper of the Kishu and Fedrigoni varieties – for the safety of our employees and a product of the highest quality.

High standards for the product

LINPopUp cards are a combination of graphic design, craftsmanship, and technology. Each of these elements is carefully nurtured and developed by us – entirely in line with our motto:

“Don’t just send a card, send LINPopUp art.”

Fair Trade

In our workshop in Vietnam, over 50% of our employees are women without formal education who were unable to pursue higher education due to difficult financial circumstances. We provide them with fair wages and dignified working conditions. We strictly adhere to labor laws and working hours. Child labor is prohibited.

Social Projects

Social commitment is a genuine concern for us. A portion of our profits goes to social projects in Germany and Vietnam – for children, the elderly, and families who receive little or no government support.
