FAQ
Here you'll find the answers.
What is special about Faltmeister maps?
Faltmeister is both a card and a gift. You're not just handing over a personal message, but also giving the recipient a little break in the form of a creative crafting moment .
The recipient can easily fold their own 3D design object from the flat envelope.
The best part: no scissors or glue are needed – just the joy of discovery. This way, your greeting transforms into lasting decoration instead of waste paper.
Who folds the card – me or the recipient?
That's up to you – but it's often most fun together!
Basically, you don't need to do any pre-crafting. The fun of crafting and the "aha moment" are already part of your gift to the recipient.
Our insider tip: Many people use the origami card as a small shared moment at the celebration. Sit down together, fold the design object together, and enjoy the time. This way, you're not just giving a card, but real "togetherness."
Who would be happy to receive a Faltmeister card?
For people who value creativity, design, and personal touches. Ideal for friends, colleagues, children, and creative minds.
For which occasions is a Faltmeister card suitable?
In our online shop you will find cards for many different occasions, e.g. holidays, birthdays, congratulations, Mother's Day, Father's Day, thank you, new beginnings, small tokens of appreciation – or just because.
Can I add a personal message to the card?
Yes, of course. Before the folding experience begins, the stage is yours: There's plenty of space on the card for your personal message. This transforms the design object into a truly personal gift from the heart.
How difficult is it to fold?
Absolutely frustration-free for the recipient. Don't worry about their skill level: our models are designed so that anyone can easily assemble them. Thanks to numbered parts and a simple plug-in system, the recipient will experience immediate success. And for added peace of mind, each model comes with a step-by-step video tutorial that shows exactly how it's done. No prior knowledge required and guaranteed stress-free.
For what age group is the card suitable?
Since folding requires a bit of dexterity, we recommend our designs for children aged 8 and up. Of course, younger children are welcome to try our designs too; with a little help, folding is great fun for even the youngest children.
Is there a manual?
Of course. Everything is included in the envelope. The recipient will find the components along with easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions on paper. And for those who prefer to watch: a QR code on the instructions leads directly to the corresponding video tutorial . This way, the recipient can get started right away – no searching, no questions asked.
Do I need any tools?
No, absolutely nothing. Scissors and glue can stay in the drawer. All the pieces are perfectly pre-cut and easy to remove. The recipient simply connects the pieces using our clever plug-in system . That means: no cutting, no gluing, no mess – just get started and enjoy!
What happens after folding?
The card becomes a stylish decorative object – for display on a desk, shelf, or elegantly framed. Some of our designs are also suitable for collecting.
Where and how are the cards produced?
Our cards are developed and designed in Berlin and produced in Baden-Württemberg using FSC®-certified paper. Local, high-quality, fair.
How are the cards packaged?
Our cards are packaged in a transparent cellophane sleeve.
This protects the delicate folded designs from dirt and creases – until the moment they are written on, given away or presented.
The sleeve serves not only to protect the card itself, but also the accompanying envelope – especially if you are handing over your gift on the go or carrying it in a bag.
Good to know: Sustainability is important to us – therefore we rely on transparent, environmentally friendly packaging and are currently switching completely to compostable cellophane wrappers.
How long does shipping take?
Your order will be shipped within 1-2 working days – lovingly packaged, directly from Berlin.
This way your folding master card will arrive quickly – for giving as a gift, sending it, or keeping for yourself.
Still have questions?
Whether for a loved one's birthday, as a thank you, for a special occasion or just because, or even if you want to treat yourself, our Faltmeister craft greeting cards bring fun and creative crafting moments.
