Youth Sports Cards Made From Your Photos

Snapshot prints and ships orders within 2-3 business days from the time you place your order. Shipping is free throughout the USA on every order, no minimum required. Transit time after shipment depends on your location and carrier, but most domestic orders arrive within a week of ordering. If you're ordering for a specific event — a birthday party, end-of-season celebration, or holiday — we recommend ordering at least 10 days in advance to give yourself comfortable buffer time. Rush situations can often still work out, but earlier is always better.

Yes, and team orders are one of the most popular ways families use Snapshot. Coaches and team parents frequently order one card per player as a season-end gift. You'd place each card individually using each player's photo, personalizing the name and details for each one. Our card packs go up to $49.99, which makes bulk ordering more economical. Many teams coordinate this through a team parent who collects photos, places the orders, and distributes the finished cards at the final practice or end-of-season party. It's a straightforward process and the kids genuinely love receiving them.

The MEGA card is an 11×15 inch poster-sized version of our standard trading card design, priced at $49.99. It uses the same professional template layout but scaled up dramatically — think wall art, not wallet card. It's a great choice for milestone moments: a player's first championship, a senior-year farewell to youth sports, a birthday gift that goes on a bedroom wall. The print quality holds up at that size because we print on professional card stock. If you want something that makes a statement in a frame or on a display shelf, the MEGA card is the right pick.

Yes, every single order includes a free magnetic case — no code required, no upsell, no additional cost at checkout. The magnetic case protects the card from bending, scratching, and edge wear. It's the same type of case serious card collectors use to protect valuable cards. We include it because we want your card to look great for years, not just when it first arrives. The case snaps shut securely and allows you to display the card without exposing it to handling damage. It's a small detail that makes a real difference in how the card holds up over time.

All Snapshot cards are printed in Des Moines, Iowa, USA. We don't outsource printing overseas or to third-party fulfillment warehouses. Our production team handles printing in-house, which is a big part of why we can ship within 2-3 business days. Printing domestically also means we control quality at every step — the card that ships to you is the card our team produced and reviewed. For parents who care about supporting American manufacturing or simply want consistency in quality, that's a meaningful difference compared to services that print abroad and ship internationally.

Yes, the text fields on every template are fully customizable. You can add your child's name, sport or position, team name, season year, jersey number, or any other short detail you want on the card. The templates are designed with specific text zones — just like a real trading card — so your customization fits naturally into the layout. You preview the final design before you submit the order, so you can adjust wording, check spelling, and confirm everything looks right. There's no separate design fee for customization; it's all included in the base price of the card.

Absolutely. Some of our most creative orders come from families in non-traditional youth sports — competitive dance, gymnastics, martial arts, figure skating, swimming, equestrian, and even youth esports. The templates don't require a ball or a field to look great. What they need is a strong photo and a player worth celebrating. If your child trains hard and competes, they deserve a card regardless of how mainstream their sport is. We've never had a sport that didn't work. The card is about the athlete, not the activity.
