Custom Foil Trading Cards Printed on Premium Card Stock

Snapshot produces and ships orders the next business day from our facility in Des Moines, Iowa. Production takes one business day; shipping time is quoted at checkout for your address. If you're ordering for an event with a hard deadline, place your order as early as possible — production starts immediately after checkout, but shipping transit time is handled by the carrier.

The sharpest cards come from high-resolution photos — ideally 1MB or larger. Action shots work great, but so do portraits, sideline photos, and team pictures. The key is good lighting and a reasonably clear subject. Avoid heavily blurry or very dark images, since those limitations show up on print just as they do on screen. You'll get a preview of your card before you complete your order, so you can see exactly how your photo fits the template. If something doesn't look right in the preview, try cropping or adjusting the photo before finalizing.

Yes, absolutely. Every Snapshot template includes fields for a player name, position, team name, season year, and stat lines — and you control what goes in each field. You can use a real name and real stats, make up a nickname, add a jersey number, or leave certain fields blank. The templates are designed to look like authentic trading cards, so the text layout already follows the visual conventions collectors recognize. You're not working with a blank document; you're filling in a professionally designed card layout built for exactly this purpose.

Snapshot isn't limited to the major pro sports. Our templates cover a wide range of sports and activities, and the custom text fields mean you can make a card for virtually any athlete in any sport — football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, wrestling, gymnastics, cheer, martial arts, swimming, track, pickleball, and more. If someone played it and has a photo to show for it, you can make a card for it. The template you choose should match the visual style you want, not necessarily the sport itself — many designs work across multiple athletic contexts.

Yes, every card Snapshot ships comes with a complimentary magnetic display case — no minimum order, no special code required. This is a rigid, clear case that snaps shut magnetically and holds a standard-size trading card securely. It's the same style of case serious card collectors use to protect valuable cards. Your custom foil trading card arrives protected and display-ready straight out of the package. If you're ordering as a gift, the card and case together already look like a finished, presentable collectible — no extra packaging needed on your end.

The MEGA card is an oversized 11"×15.4" poster-sized collectible — think of it as a trading card scaled up to poster dimensions. It carries the same professional card stock feel and design template style as a standard card, but the size makes it a statement piece. It's ideal for hanging on a wall, displaying on a large shelf, or giving as a centerpiece gift for a major milestone like a retirement, graduation, or senior season recognition. At $49.99, it's priced the same as a full card pack and ships free over $30 with a magnetic case just like standard orders.

Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that.

Yes, and this is one of the most popular use cases on the platform. You can order individual cards for each player by uploading separate photos and customizing each card's text. Card pack options up to $49.99 make larger orders more economical. Many coaches and team parents place bulk orders ahead of end-of-season banquets, picture day events, or league award nights. Each card still ships with its own magnetic case. If you're coordinating a large team order and have questions about the best approach, the Snapshot team can walk you through the options.

Every Snapshot card is designed, printed, and packaged at our facility in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. We don't outsource production overseas. That matters for two reasons: quality consistency and shipping speed. Because production happens domestically and in-house, we can reliably hit our one-business-day fulfillment window. Our production team handles custom cards daily — this isn't a side operation running on a wide-format inkjet printer. Professional card stock, quality control checks, and careful packaging are all part of the standard process before any card leaves our building.
