Where Can I Get Cards Printed? Right Here.

Snapshot is specifically built for this. Most photo print services produce something that looks like a photo on cardboard — decent colors, but none of the structure or feel of an actual trading card. Snapshot uses pro sports-card templates and prints on professional card stock so the finished product has the weight, rigidity, and design language of a real collectible card. You upload a photo, we handle the rest, and you receive a card that genuinely looks like it came out of a pack — not a home printer. It ships in 2-3 days with a free magnetic case included.

Snapshot prints and ships every order within 2-3 business days from our facility in Des Moines, Iowa. That's production time plus handoff to the carrier. Because we print domestically rather than outsourcing to overseas facilities, we can maintain that fast turnaround consistently. For most customers in the continental USA, the total time from order to card-in-hand is under a week. If you're ordering for a specific event or date, placing your order at least a week out gives you comfortable buffer without any rushing on your end.

The single card is one standard-size custom sports card at $17.99 — the same dimensions as a traditional trading card, printed on professional card stock, and shipped with a free magnetic case. Packs let you order multiple cards for a team set, gift set, or variety of photos, priced up to $49.99. The MEGA card is a completely different product: an oversized 11-inch by 15-inch poster-style card at $49.99. It's designed to be framed or displayed — think of it as a statement piece rather than a collectible you'd put in a binder sleeve. All three options ship free.

Any clear photo works, but higher resolution images produce noticeably sharper results. A photo taken on a modern smartphone in good lighting is more than sufficient. Action shots taken during games print well if the subject is in focus — motion blur will be visible on the final card, so sharp photos are worth selecting carefully. JPEG and PNG files are both fine. Avoid screenshots from video or images that have already been compressed multiple times, as those tend to show artifacts once printed at card size. If you're unsure, upload what you have — you'll see a preview before you finalize your order.

None. Snapshot's template system handles the design work. You choose a template, enter the text details you want on the card — name, position, team, number — and the system places everything correctly. You don't need to know anything about typography, layout, or image sizing. The templates are designed to make your photo look intentional and professional within a sports-card format. Most customers complete their entire design in under ten minutes from upload to order confirmation. It's a straightforward process even if you've never used a design tool before.

You can absolutely order a single card. Snapshot's entry price is $17.99 for one custom card, and that single card comes with free shipping and a free magnetic case. There's no minimum order requirement and no pressure to buy in bulk. Single-card orders are actually very common — parents ordering one card for a milestone moment, fans creating a card of their favorite athlete, or someone testing the product before ordering a full team set. Whatever your reason, one card ships the same way a pack does: fast, free, and fully protected.

It's a genuine protective case, not a marketing item. Magnetic cases — sometimes called one-touch cases — are the standard method serious card collectors use to protect cards they care about. The card slides in, the magnetic lid snaps shut, and the card is held securely without any of the flex or pressure that can damage card edges or corners. UV-filtering acrylic protects against light exposure over time. Getting one included with every Snapshot order means your card is ready to display or store properly without any additional purchase. It's the right way to protect a card you went to the trouble of creating.

Every Snapshot card is printed at our facility in Des Moines, Iowa. We don't outsource printing to third-party vendors or overseas production houses — we control the entire process in-house. That's how we maintain consistent quality and hit the 2-3 day shipping window reliably. Domestic production also means that if something isn't right with your order, we can address it quickly without the delays that come with international fulfillment chains. Made in the USA isn't a marketing line here — it's a straightforward description of how and where every single card gets produced.

Yes — Snapshot works for any sport, any level, anywhere. Youth soccer, high school basketball, college lacrosse, adult recreational softball, martial arts, cheerleading, swimming — if there's an athlete and a photo, there's a card to be made. The templates are designed to flex across sports rather than being locked into the visual language of one specific league. You add whatever sport-specific details you want in the text fields. There's no requirement that the athlete be affiliated with any particular organization, and there's no sport that's off-limits. If you're playing it, we can put it on a card.

Pack options are the most practical route for team orders, with pricing up to $49.99 covering multiple cards. For larger team sets, reaching out to Snapshot directly is the best approach so we can discuss quantities and options that fit your program's needs. End-of-season team sets are one of the most popular use cases — every player gets a card with their own photo, name, and stats. It's a tangible takeaway that most athletes hold onto. Coaches frequently order one set per player rather than duplicates, so each card is unique to the individual it features.
