As a company designing and manipulating popup cards, we have researched a lot of material showing style and size as well as field trips to simulate Japanese Bridge works on 3D popup cards at realistic rates.

The Japanese bridge is 20.4m long, 13m wide, 5.7m high and the layout is Dinh Chinese word. To illustrate the beauty of the bridge on the 3D popup pattern, we have reduced the pagoda on the bridge and retain only the basic architecture of the entire bridge (as the original bridge was built.) This reduction helps reproducing the image of 3d popup card is more beautiful and elegant.

Currently, 3D popup cards are bought around the Japan tourist bridge. If you want to buy in bulk or order the design on request, please contact us by email: popupcard3dvn@gmail.com or phone number on the website for inquiries about pricing, quantity and size
