Tell us a little about Alljoy

Alljoy Design Ltd is a company that specialises in creating innovative and unique pop-up greeting cards and paper art designs and more. Founded in 2012, it is based in Ireland.

Our products are known for attention to detail, and the use of intricate paper engineering techniques and various illustration styles. The team is dedicated to creating beautiful and innovative paper art products that bring joy and wonder to people’s lives.

How did the idea for the the bespoke cards come about?

Our bespoke pop-up and 3D cards were developed over a period of time; it is a combination of customer demand, market research, creative inspiration and collaboration with customers. We actively engage with our customers and involve them in the design process. This approach has inspired us to create bespoke pop-up cards that reflect the individuality and creativity of our customers and to develop unique and personalised pop-up card designs that meet the needs and preferences of our customers.

What are the benefits of the bespoke products?

The key benefit is in the creation of a greeting card specific to the request of the individual retailer. They work with us to help design the final version, bringing their local knowledge and understanding to the product. It is a unique product exclusive to that retailer.

How does the process for bespoke cards work?

The process is very simple. Through simple conversation with retailers, we will deliver a final bespoke pop-up card and a unique and personalised experience. The retailer works with our team of agents and head office.

Have you been surprised by the response to the bespoke offering?

We will always feel thrilled and filled with joy when we hear that our customers appreciate our designs. And it also gives us an opportunity to experience and to know local people and history better.

Who has taken part so far?

The range of customers is amazing; we supply bespoke designs to Liverpool Cathedral, Chester Zoo, Blenheim Palace, and The Fitzwilliam Museum, along with some independent retailers.

If someone is interested in bespoke cards how can they start the process with you? Contact us via email or through our team of agents. We will respond very quickly, usually the agent will be in touch to discuss the ideas.
