Christmas lists fill up with gadgets and gift cards, so a personalized sports card stands out under the tree. Choose a photo of the player in your family, add the name they go by, give them a position and set stats that tell the story of their year. It suits a kid who lives in a football (soccer) jersey, a parent who still plays in a rec league or a grandparent who never misses a Friday night game. Each card is printed to order and cut to the outline of its design, in six sizes from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). The preview shows the finished card before you pay.
Ideas for a Christmas card
Think about the year they have had. A first season on a new team, a tournament win or simply showing up to every practice in the rain all make good material. Stats can be serious, such as points and assists, or festive, with cookies eaten and snow days spent shooting hoops in the driveway.
For the whole family, one card each makes a matching set to hand out on Christmas morning.
Getting the photo right
A clear, well-lit photo of one person works best. The editor can remove the background for you, so a snapshot from the sideline or the backyard is fine. Skip photos where the face is small or blurry. Once the photo is in, move and zoom it, then check the preview to see exactly how the card will look.
Plan ahead for the holidays
Every card is made to order, so build in some room before the day you need it. We manufacture in the US, the UK and the EU and deliver worldwide, which helps if the present is going to family abroad. Choose from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in): a small card can sit beside the stockings and a larger print is a gift for a bedroom wall. Prices start from $25.00.
For the person who has everything
Some people are hard to buy for. A card with their own photo and stats is something they could not have bought for themselves. Pair it with tickets to a game or a new pair of cleats and it becomes the part of the present they keep.
Keep a simple gift list
When making cards for several relatives, write down the name, nickname and photo for each person before you start. Give every recipient their own position and stats rather than repeating the same joke across the family. It also helps you avoid mixing up photos when you are building five cards in one evening.
Review each design
Check every preview for spelling, a clear face and readable stats. A photo that fits one design may need a different zoom in another. Once each card looks right, order. Cards are printed on 5 mm EcoBoard with a smooth coating, so they can go straight on the wall without a frame.
Questions, answered
Can I make cards for the whole family?
Yes. Make one card per person, ideally on the same design so they look like a set when they are opened together.
Can I use a festive photo?
Yes. A photo in a holiday sweater works as well as one in a uniform. As long as the person is clear and in focus, the editor can remove the background.
Can I send a card straight to someone abroad?
Yes. We deliver worldwide, so you can send the card directly to the person it is for.
Which size makes a good stocking-side gift?
A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) is the smallest and easiest to wrap and set under the tree. If you want something to hang on a wall, choose one of the larger sizes.
