The Case for Cards

Why Trading Cards for Corporate Events?

Six reasons our clients choose trading cards over every other event activation — and keep coming back.

01

Premium Presentation

Every card is sealed in the same magnetic acrylic cases used by serious sports card collectors. It is not a trinket — it is a keepsake that signals your company values quality.

02

Full Brand Customization

Your logo, colors, fonts, and holographic seals — every inch of the card is branded. Attendees leave as walking brand ambassadors carrying your identity home.

03

Fast Production

At 20-30 cards per hour, even large events move smoothly. Guests spend 90 seconds at the station, walk away with a finished card in under 3 minutes total.

04

Digital + Physical

Every card exists both as a physical keepsake and as a shareable digital asset. Guests can post to Instagram, LinkedIn, or text it to family — all from the booth.

05

Corporate-Focused Experience

Unlike generic photo booths, our trading card experience is built for corporate ROI: branded assets, measurable engagement, and a post-event digital gallery you own.

06

Measurable Engagement

Our clients consistently report 3x more social posts from trading card activations compared to traditional photo booths. The novelty drives organic sharing at scale.

Fun, Collectable & Instantly Yours

Soft Sleeve Cards — Take It Home Tonight

Our soft-sleeve cards are the perfect party favor — lightweight, personal, and ready to take home the moment they're printed. Every guest walks away with a one-of-a-kind keepsake featuring their own photo, name, and custom stats.

Available in sports, entertainment, and fully custom themes. No waiting, no shipping — just instant collector magic.

Unleashing Creativity

Integrate Generative AI Into Your Custom Trading Cards

Our generative AI technology adds a unique twist to your custom trading cards — transforming guests' original photos into imaginative, one-of-a-kind creations. Imagine attendees at an NFL game dynamically reimagined as football players, or Comic-Con guests becoming their very own gaming characters.

Beyond generative AI, we also offer custom digital backgrounds that transport guests from their actual location to a fully tailored scene — all powered by AI.

Premium trading card in magnetic acrylic collector case — Captured Celebrations Los Angeles

The same cases serious collectors use for rare cards

Premium Collector Tier

Sealed in a Magnetic Acrylic Collector Case

Every Premium Collector card ships sealed inside a rigid magnetic acrylic case — the same protective case serious collectors use to preserve rare and valuable sports cards. It snaps shut with a satisfying magnetic click and keeps your card display-ready forever.

Guests don't just leave with a card. They leave with something that looks and feels like a real collectible — because it is. The case alone makes people stop and ask where you got it.

Included in: Premium Collector ($3,200) and Enterprise packages. Classic Card Experience cards come in soft plastic collector sleeves.

Optional Add-On

Want AI Transformation Too?

Upgrade any package with our AI photo booth technology — guests become superheroes, vintage athletes, or gaming characters before their card prints. Available on all tiers for an additional fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many trading cards can you produce per hour?

We produce 20-30 premium trading cards per hour with our streamlined setup. For high-volume events of 500+ guests, we offer dual-station configurations that double production capacity. Contact us to plan for your event size.

Can we customize the card stats and information fields?

Absolutely. Every element is customizable — layout, color scheme, fonts, logo placement, holographic seals, and all stats/info fields. Popular choices include years of service, department, achievements, or fun fields like "Coffee Cups Per Day" or "Meetings Survived."

Is custom card design work included?

Yes — custom card design is included in all packages. We build your template before the event using your logo files, brand colors, and fonts. Classic Card Experience includes 2 design revisions; Premium Collector includes unlimited revisions.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend 4-6 weeks in advance to allow time for custom design work and pre-event consultation. Rush bookings are accepted based on availability — call (747) 895-4473 to check our calendar.

What information do you need to get started?

We need your logo files (vector preferred), brand colors and hex codes, preferred fonts, and a list of personalization fields (e.g., name, title, department, years of service, fun fact). We guide you through a pre-event design consultation so nothing is missed.

Can guests get multiple copies of their card?

Yes — additional copies are available at a per-card rate. Many clients order extras so guests can share with family, swap with coworkers, or keep a set. Just let us know in advance so we can plan production capacity.

Yes. For events of 500+ guests we offer dual-station configurations with two photo booth setups running simultaneously, which doubles card production capacity. Contact us for an Enterprise quote with custom staffing and logistics.
