Pop up ball mailer
Pop up balls or Kallapsiballs are one of the most popular pop up products and have an ongoing appeal. The pop up ball is mailed in its own bespoke printed glued or unglued envelope which entices the recipient into opening the envelope. Open the envelope and the item pops up into the shape of a ball making this promotional item memorable and fun. This product can have added longevity by adding a calendar or pen holes ensuring it is kept on the desk for year long retention. Many of our clients produce this item year on year as it is always effective.

A pop up is an item which is mailed flat and when you open the envelope the item automatically pop’s up, it is powered by an elastic band. A pop up can stand alone or be affixed inside a cover. You may decide that instead of putting your pop up inside a cover you want to mail it in an outer and put an additional text sheet in the envelope.
Our website shows a selection of standard pop ups but we can also design bespoke solutions for you.
A pop up has many advantages. You get an immediate impact when the recipient opens the mailer then the extra selling power when they show the pop up to all of their colleagues and friends. They can be used to portray a wide variety of messages – adding a calendar & pen holes can ensure it is kept on the recipients desk all year.
We have standard sizes of pop ups for cost effective production. However all our pop ups can be produced in a variety of sizes, for example we have produced pop up cubes from 50mm square up to 300mm square. We can produce pop up cubes, pop up triangles, pop up lorries, pop up house’s, pop up calendars, pop up desk tidies………………..the list is almost endless!
Pop ups can be manufactured on a variety of different materials – these will be restricted due to the technical aspects of the design but we can use environmentally friendly boards like fully recycled white lined grey back chipboard, kraft board, FSC approved materials, etc. Just let us know your requirements and we will do our best to meet them.
Pop up or Self Riser? – That’s up to you. They are both a fantastic way of ensuring your message is received and retained by the recipient. Please let us know your requirements and we will help advise you on the ideal solution.
