Print Baseball Cards That Look Straight Off a Pro Wax Pack

Most orders print and ship within 2-3 business days from the time you approve your design. That's the production window, not including standard USA shipping transit time on top of it, so plan for roughly a week door-to-door depending on your location. We built the process this way because a lot of our orders are tied to a deadline — a team banquet, a birthday, a tournament weekend — and waiting two or three weeks defeats the purpose. There's no rush fee needed to hit that window either; it's simply how fast we operate by default. If you're ordering for a specific event, we'd still recommend placing your order at least a week ahead just to build in a buffer for shipping variability. Once your order ships, you'll get tracking information so you're not left guessing where it is.

A single card is exactly what it sounds like — one custom card printed on premium card stock for $17.99, perfect if you just want one great shot immortalized. Packs run up to $49.99 and let you feature multiple photos or moments, which works well for a whole season's worth of highlights or a full team roster. The MEGA card is a completely different format — an 11 inch by 15 inch poster-sized card for $49.99, designed for the photo that deserves to be seen from across the room rather than held in your hand. Families often start with a single card to test the quality, then come back for a pack once they see how it looks in person. Coaches ordering for an entire team usually lean toward packs to keep per-player cost down. There's no wrong choice here — it really depends on whether you want something pocket-sized or display-sized.

Yes, you can order individual cards for every player on a roster, and many coaches and team parents do exactly that at the end of a season. Each player's card can use a completely different photo, so you're not stuck with one template applied uniformly across the team. Pricing works the same whether you're ordering one card or twenty — it's per card, with packs available if you want multiple designs bundled together for a single player too. A lot of teams coordinate this as a group project, where one parent collects photos from the whole roster and submits them together, then everyone splits shipping since it's already free nationwide. There's no minimum order size required, which matters for smaller travel teams that don't have 20+ kids. If you're managing this for a team, just build in a little extra time for collecting everyone's photos before you place the order.

We offer multiple pro-style templates modeled after the card designs collectors already recognize — think rookie card borders, action-shot layouts, and stat-line designs similar to what you'd find in an official pack. Within each template, you can typically customize the player's name, team name, jersey number, and basic stats like batting average or position. This isn't a rigid, one-size-fits-all system; the templates are starting points you adjust to fit your specific player and photo. Color schemes often adjust to match team colors as well, so the card doesn't feel like it's fighting your uniform. If you're not sure which template fits your photo best, action shots tend to work great with the dynamic layouts, while posed photos often look cleaner in the classic stat-card style. There's enough variety that a batting stance, a pitching wind-up, and a team group photo can all end up looking equally sharp.

We print on professional card stock specifically because home printer paper and standard photo paper don't hold up to handling, and that's the number one complaint we hear about other DIY options. These cards are built to be picked up, flipped over, passed around a dugout, and stored in a binder or box without curling at the corners. Every card also ships with a free magnetic case, which adds a layer of protection during shipping and gives you a display-ready option right out of the box. That case matters more than people expect — a card without protection can get creased in transit, and a magnetic case eliminates that risk almost entirely. If you're planning to store cards long-term, keeping them in the case or a standard card sleeve will extend their life even further. This isn't a novelty print job; it's built with the same durability expectations as an actual trading card.

This works for every level, and honestly a huge chunk of our orders come from rec league and youth teams rather than elite travel programs. You don't need a highlight-reel play to justify a custom card — plenty of parents just want a nice photo of their kid's first season turned into something they can keep. The templates don't require stats or achievements to look good; a simple action shot or team photo works just as well on a rookie-style layout as a travel ball highlight would. We've printed cards for six-year-olds in their first tee-ball season right alongside high school varsity players and adult rec league teams. The process and pricing stay exactly the same regardless of skill level or league type. If your kid played baseball this year and you've got a decent photo, that's really all it takes to get started.
