Senior Banner Pictures Deserve More Than a Vinyl Sign

A single card is the standard trading-card size, priced from $17.99, and it's built for wallets, display cases, or handing out at events. The MEGA is an 11-inch by 15-inch poster card, priced at $49.99, and it works more like a framed centerpiece than a pocket keepsake. Families ordering for senior night often get a single card for the athlete to keep on them, then add a MEGA for the house or a parent's office wall. Coaches ordering for an entire senior class usually stick with single cards or packs since they're more practical to hand out to a group. Both use the same photo-to-template process and the same premium card stock, so the choice really comes down to where the final piece is going to live. If you want something that reads as a genuine statement piece rather than a pocket-sized keepsake, the MEGA is the better fit.

Yes, our template library covers far more than the two most commonly photographed sports. We regularly print for track and field, wrestling, soccer, volleyball, baseball, softball, swimming, tennis, golf, cheer, and marching band seniors, among others. The templates are built around the photo and the moment, not locked to one specific sport's uniform or equipment, so a senior banner picture from a golf tournament or a swim meet fits just as cleanly as a football portrait. If your sport has less mainstream banner and poster options available locally, that's actually one of the more common reasons families come to us in the first place. You pick the layout that best matches your photo's composition and the overall look you want, whether that's stat-heavy and bold or a cleaner, portrait-first design. We add new template styles regularly, so it's worth browsing the full library before assuming your sport isn't represented.

Most phone photos from the last several years have more than enough resolution for a trading card, which prints at a much smaller size than a banner. Pixelation on a card almost always comes from an old, heavily compressed image, a screenshot, or a photo pulled off social media that's already been resized down. If your file is the original photo straight from a phone or camera, you're in good shape. During the preview step, you'll be able to see exactly how the image looks inside the template before anything gets printed, so there's no surprise once the card arrives. If something looks soft or blurry at that stage, it's worth going back to find the original, uncompressed version of the file rather than a copy that's been shared or downloaded multiple times, since each share can degrade quality slightly. When in doubt, upload the largest file size you have available.

Yes, this is one of the most common requests we get from booster clubs and team parents during senior season. You can submit individual photos for each senior and order packs sized to fit the whole group, which keeps per-card pricing more efficient than ordering one at a time. Many coaches coordinate this alongside senior night planning, collecting photos from each athlete's family ahead of time and submitting them together. It's worth designating one point person to gather images and confirm each athlete's preferred photo, since coordinating a class-wide order goes smoother with a single organizer than a dozen separate submissions. Turnaround still runs 2-3 days once everything's finalized and approved, and shipping remains free regardless of order size. If you're planning this for an end-of-year banquet, building in extra lead time for photo collection is usually the bigger scheduling factor, not the printing itself.

That depends entirely on which template you choose, since our library includes a range of layouts from photo-forward designs to ones with room for stats, jersey numbers, team names, or a senior class year. Some families want a clean, minimal look that puts the photo front and center with very little text. Others want something closer to a real trading card, complete with a position, graduation year, or a short personal detail like a college commitment. You control what text goes where during the preview step, so nothing gets printed without your approval first. If you're ordering for a large senior class, sticking with a simpler template that just needs a name and year swapped per athlete tends to be faster to manage than a text-heavy design multiplied across a dozen or more orders.

It's included automatically with every card order, at no additional cost. You don't need to select it separately or add it during checkout. The case is meant to protect the card from bending, scratching, or general wear, which matters more than people expect once a card gets passed around at a banquet or handled by relatives at graduation. It also makes the card easier to display right out of the box, whether that's propped on a shelf, a desk, or inside a keepsake box without needing a separate frame purchase. Compared to a banner, which typically needs grommets, a stand, or wall mounting hardware bought separately, the card arrives ready to use the moment it's unboxed. This is one of the more overlooked reasons families end up preferring the card format over a poster or banner once they've actually held one.
