Choose the gift format and quantity

Start with the person receiving it and where they will display it. These are photographed Snapshot products; you choose your own photo and an available design. All prices are in USD, before shipping and any tax. The chosen quantity applies to the first design you make; you can adjust copies and add other designs in a Rookie Box before ordering.

Senior night or a coach tribute

One MEGA display card

$49.99 USD

One oversized 11 x 15.4 inch card on card stock with a protective sleeve. Plan the display around this size; a frame or stand is not included.

One shared design for a team handout

Bulk Boxes contain copies of one design. Use them for a shared team tribute or event keepsake. If every player needs a different personalized card, count the unique designs separately and choose a Rookie Box or discuss the roster with our team.

Standard and holographic are the online finish choices. Gold or silver foil work requires a custom quote. Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. International and expedited rates depend on the destination and service shown at checkout.

Personalize a gift around a detail you actually know

For a coworker, pet parent or milestone recipient, a familiar photo and a thoughtful sentence are a stronger starting point than filling every available field.

  1. 1. Coworker or retirement

    Choose a workplace-appropriate photo and a message about a contribution or shared memory. Confirm job titles, names and dates. Keep private company details and jokes the recipient would not enjoy off the design.

  2. 2. Pet or hobby keepsake

    Use the pet’s name or the person’s favorite activity as the theme. Pick a photo where the subject is clear, then preview whether the chosen design suits it. Do not assume every template supports every layout.

  3. 3. Milestone or gift exchange

    Match the message to the person and occasion. For a spending limit, compare the final checkout total, including shipping and any tax, rather than treating the product price as the delivered price.

A dedication you can adapt

“For the stories, the kindness and the small things you do that make a difference. This one is all about you.”

An example message, not a customer quotation.

Before you approve the design

Check photo permission, spelling and whether the recipient would be comfortable opening the gift in front of others. A short message leaves more room for the person to be the focus.

Plan delivery around the event

Confirm your presentation date, finish the design review, then check the carrier estimate for the actual delivery address before paying. Allow time to receive and organize the gifts before the event; an estimated arrival is not an event-date guarantee.

Production

Cards go into production the same day you order and ship on the next business day.

Expedited

When available, Priority and Overnight orders placed before the same-day cut-off on a business day ship that same day. The available services and exact cut-off time are shown at checkout.

In transit

Delivery time on top of that depends on the carrier and the destination, and you see the carrier estimate before you pay.

Shipping cost

Free US standard shipping on orders $30+ — $5.00 flat under that. A Rookie Box of 5 cards is $31.99, which clears the bar on its own.

"I created a few AI cards for my kids. I started collecting back on February and the boys love the Kaboom cards. My daughter loves princesses so I made her a Disney card through AI. I looked for a company to actually make the card and found Snapshots. Very easy to use, very fast, excellent price. They actually called me to verify some of the information on the picture and offered to make any changes. I received them very quickly. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt this company deserved to hear that they are doing it right and I will definitely be using them again very soon."

"We had my son’s senior pictures taken at Target field so I wanted to put those images on a baseball card to give out at his graduation party! I had so much fun creating them on the website! I ordered them on a Wednesday night and they were at my door that Saturday! Very quick! I couldn’t wait to open them! They are awesome! Better than I could have ever imagined! The quality is well worth the money! Amazing job! Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to capture a forever memory!"

"I ordered cards on a Monday so they would be shipped and arrive by Friday. The next day through a series of unexpected events and missed communications on my part, I discovered my order was delayed. I reached out to see if there was anyway my order could still be processed and shipped out on time. Graham (CTO) reached out to me personally via email and phone to fix the issue and ensure my order was processed and shipped out on time. I received them on that Friday as I was originally hoping. Upon opening they were better than expected. The card stock is sturdy and the printing was high quality! I would definitely recommend this company and will be making more cards to order."
