Overview
Lovepop designs and sells intricate 3D pop-up greeting cards by combining laser-cut kirigami with engineering-driven design. Each card starts from a laser-cut sheet that folds into a layered sculpture through precise scoring and cuts, resulting in handcrafted pop-ups. Their model includes direct-to-consumer sales through their website and retail locations, plus custom corporate orders, with revenue from single cards, card packs, and subscriptions; they also added personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 era. The approach blends artisanal kirigami artistry with scalable mechanisms and bespoke business collaborations, aiming to deliver tangible keepsakes and grow a broad customer base.
