Barbara started working on developing instagami® in 2005.

The idea for instagami® was borne of a ‘necessity’. It was its inventor's [Barbara Vinecombe] way for steering her mind away from ‘depression’. She did so by focusing her mind completely on creating a new, unique greeting card experience that could be interactively transformed into a 3D physical image …with a built-in ‘wow’ factor. Initially, in a design to suit an 'angel artwork', Barbara imagined her instagami® origami card ‘flying’ all over the world, inspiring people and conveying messages of peace, hope and happiness.

'instagami®' is a blend of the words ‘instant’ (insta) and ‘origami’ (gami).

1. The novelty of instagami® needed official validation. IP protection was also needed for its 'one-of-a-kind' mechanics (how it works) applications, including the uniqueness of an interactive origami 'greeting' card; 2. 10% of the profits from worldwide sales of instagami® is being donated to charitable causes, including for helping innovative ventures, and community, land regeneration, and other worthwhile projects. 3. 100% of the net proceeds [of specially designed instagami® fundraising initiatives] will be made available to NFP organisations with a need for a specific-purpose funding. In the interest of protecting exclusiveness and uniqueness in our commercial and charitable endeavours, we chose to secure IP protection for instagami® in all major world regions.

Yes. instagami® is ‘IS physical , NOT digital'. It is an interactive 3D origami card. [The 3D transformation is instantly done …by you.]

To some degree... YES! instagami® adds a ‘New Dimension’ to art expression and to the conveying of one’s feelings through art. instagami®i is 'physical', it's interactive… instagami® ‘bends, intrigues, and excites the mind’ The following quote by Pam Danziger (President of Unity Marketing Inc in Pennsylvania, USA) could well describe instagami® in a 'nut shell': “Traditional greeting cards were an early 20th century marketing solution designed around technology and consumer expectations from the early 1900’s. The consumer needs that greeting cards were once created to fill, haven’t gone away, BUT the market is ripe for someone to come along with a new 21st century solution that fills that same consumer need today.” Is instagami® this 21st Century Solution?

Yes! A tough one to believe, but all instagami® origami cards are created from one single flat piece of paper* that you transform into a 3D image…instantly! The A transformed instagami® can reveal landscapes, oceanscapes, flora, fauna, landmarks, fantasy, ships and airplanes, football teams, critters and creatures, and so on. For instagami® artwork and design, there are no boundaries to imagination. *Wherever possible, 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper is used.

Easily! When you receive or are gifted an instagami® origami card, you simply bend, lock, peel, flip and stick as you physically transform it into its 3D image. WOW!

It’s an experience to be had. You’ve just got to transform one from flat into 3D to experience that 'WOW' feeling! Go on, do it and send one too!

instagami® products are already special ...but for VERY special occasions, please submit your enquiry to hello@instagami.com - together let's see what we can create.

Plenty! Walt Disney started with just a mouse ─ Barbara, started with an angel! We see the instagami® range in the near future to include Angels, Fairies, Rabbits, and Dragons artwork and designs. As we grow, our art-design adaptations will have something for everybody. Abstracts, animals, cities and landmarks (like Corcovado in Rio, the Grand Canyon in the USA, Eiffel Tower in Paris, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge in Sydney).

Our award-winning embellisher craftsmen will skillfully design the embossing dies of each instagami® range. The embossing process requires two dies: one that is raised and one that is recessed, with flat paper stock between them. Then… pressure of up to 300 tonnes is instantly applied. Ouch!!! This creates a ‘raised-effect’ to the paper stock bringing life and vibrancy to shapes and colours of the artwork, thereby further enhancing the artist’s artwork. Now you know how instagami®’s special effects are created. We do not use any non-biodegradable material (more information in Environmental and Community Responsibilities section of this FAQ).
