Custom Trading Card Photo Booth Rental NYC
Custom Trading Cards for Sporting Events, Trade Shows & More
Guest gets photographed with a DSLR. Their photo is placed onto a fully custom card template — front and back — with your branding, colors, logos, team name, player number, and custom stat fields. Printed on premium stock with holographic finish and sealed in a rigid magnetic case on the spot. Total time: under 60 seconds per guest. No bottlenecks, no long lines. Looking for a dimensional motion print instead of a trading card? Explore our lenticular photo booth rental NYC.
AI enhancement available: Add our proprietary AI engine for automatic background removal, jersey/uniform compositing, and dynamic text rendering — all in seconds. The AI option is ideal for activations where guests appear in custom uniforms, themed costumes, or branded apparel without physically wearing them. Front: Guest’s photo with custom background or jersey overlay, team branding, holographic border, name, and number. Back: Guest-customizable stats, bio, fun facts — or any fields you define.
Instant Card Generation
Guests are photographed, their image is placed onto a custom card template, and the finished card is printed in under 60 seconds. Optional AI enhancement adds automatic background removal and jersey compositing.
Built for Sporting Events & Trade Shows
Game-day fan activations, trade show booths, product launches, brand experiences. Cards feature custom team logos, event branding, player numbers, and dynamic stats.
Premium Protective Packaging
Each card is sealed in a rigid magnetic acrylic case on the spot. Same packaging used for professional collectibles. Ready to display or trade.
Social Media Integration
Digital copies sent via text, email, or AirDrop simultaneously with the print. Custom overlays and event hashtag included in every digital file.
Proprietary Pre-Survey System
Our custom-built pre-event survey — developed by our in-house software team — lets guests submit their player name, stats, bio, and card preferences before arriving at the booth. When they step up, their data is already loaded and ready to print. Zero typing at the booth means faster throughput and shorter lines.
Corporate & Brand Activations
Card templates branded with your logo, campaign messaging, QR codes, and hashtags. Built-in data capture collects opt-in emails and phone numbers from every guest.
