Choosing your corporate Christmas Card can be a tricky business. For one thing, there are so many people in your own organisation that will want a say in the matter. On top of that you have to be careful that the greeting satisfies today’s version of being politically correct. After all that, it is important that your greeting stands out above all others and gives a positive message about your own company. And all of this is just for a Christmas Card! Here’s a suggestion. Why not take away all of the hassle and plump for a pop-up calendar with a distinctive shape?

We have one pop-up that has a shape that lends itself to producing pop up mailers looking like castles, towers, “ton weight”, chocolates shaped like “Munchies” or it might even match a company logo. The pop up castle has four trapezium-shaped walls that give the product its castle shape. These walls offer a large area for promotional print which makes it a great candidate for use as a pop up mailer. The base and top are both square.

The shape and size of the pop up castle works to the benefit of the automatic pop up action and the product has a very strong “jump”. It goes off with a quite noisy crack when the mailing envelope is opened and continues to have a strong action when used over and over.

Many businesses are called “castle this” or “tower that” and many of them have a logo that fits this pop up shape. The pop up castle can easily be adapted to become a promotional desk-top pen holder for such a company. There is plenty of room on the side panels for promotional print and to create a promotional pop up calendar which makes it into an ideal Christmas promotion. The promotional pop-up castle in our picture was a custom made product and graphics were created to make it look like a sandcastle and it was also printed as a calendar for 2008. Combine the calendar with the pen holder and you might just have the perfect solution to your corporate Christmas greeting problem – a desk top pen holder that is also a calendar for 2009!
