Homemade Trading Cards That Look Completely Professional

Snapshot's standard turnaround is 2-3 business days from the time you place your order to the time it arrives at your door. Production happens at our facility in Des Moines, Iowa, and every order ships free to anywhere in the continental United States. There's no express option needed for most orders — 2-3 days is already fast. If you're ordering for a specific event or occasion, place the order at least a week ahead to have comfortable margin, though most orders arrive well within the standard window.

A single card is a completely valid order. You don't need to buy a pack to get the same quality or the same free shipping. One card, one magnetic case, free delivery — that's the full offer at $17.99. Packs are available if you want multiple cards, either with the same design or different photos in the same order, and those go up to $49.99. But there's no pressure to go bigger than you need. Single-card orders get treated exactly the same as any other order in terms of production quality and shipping speed.

The MEGA is an 11×15 inch oversized card — same professional card stock, same design templates, just dramatically larger than a standard card. It's priced at $49.99 and ships free. People order it for display purposes: framing it, hanging it in a locker room, presenting it as an award, or using it as a centerpiece for a party or celebration. It makes an especially strong impression at youth sports banquets or as a coach's gift at end of season. If a standard card fits in your hand, the MEGA fits on your wall.

None at all. The templates are pre-built with all the design structure already in place — borders, layout hierarchy, text placement, color schemes. You upload your photo, fill in the text fields you want (name, position, stats, whatever is relevant to your card), and the design adjusts around your inputs. There's no need to understand resolution settings, bleed margins, or typography. If you can fill out a form and upload a photo from your phone, you have everything you need to create a card that looks professionally designed.

Yes. Every Snapshot card is produced at our facility in Des Moines, Iowa. We don't outsource production overseas or use third-party fulfillment centers. Printing in-house means we control the quality at every step — from how the image renders on the card stock to how the finished product is packaged before it ships. It also means faster domestic shipping times, since your order isn't traveling across an ocean or through multiple distribution hubs before it reaches you. Made in Iowa, shipped anywhere in the USA.

Any sport or activity you can photograph. Snapshot's templates aren't locked to a specific sport — the design elements are flexible enough to work for football, baseball, soccer, swimming, wrestling, tennis, cycling, martial arts, fishing, running, or any athletic pursuit you want to commemorate. The text fields are fully customizable, so you're not forced into a baseball stats format if your card is for a swimmer or a golfer. People also use Snapshot for non-traditional activities: powerlifting, CrossFit, dance competitions, equestrian events — if there's a photo, there's a card.
