Custom Cards

Turn any photo into a real trading card. Pick a template, upload a photo, and we print it on premium card stock and ship it in a magnetic case — in about 60 seconds of your time.

A range of custom Snapshot trading cards

What custom cards are, and who they are for

A custom card is a real trading card built from your own photo rather than a licensed athlete's. Same 2.5" × 3.5" dimensions as the cards in a hobby shop, same premium card stock, printed and shipped in a magnetic display case. People make them for a kid's first season, a retirement, a wedding party, a pet, or a running joke between friends — the format is fixed, the subject is entirely yours.

You do not need design skills or software. Pick one of the templates below, upload a photo, and the layout, cropping and finish are handled for you. Most people go from photo to finished custom card in under a minute, and nothing is charged until you decide to print.

Professional quality custom cards

Every custom card is printed on premium card stock — the same material the major trading card manufacturers use. Colours stay vivid, edges stay sharp, and the card has the weight you expect when you pick it up rather than the flex of a photo print.

Cards are produced in Des Moines, Iowa and ship in 2–3 business days with tracking and free US delivery. Each one arrives in a magnetic one-touch case, so a custom card can go straight onto a shelf or a desk without buying anything extra. Foil and holographic finishes are a flat upgrade per box, not per card.
