A custom cardboard cutout is a freestanding display made from your photo. We cut around the subject and add back support so it can stand up for parties, events, storefronts, and celebrations. You can create cutouts of people, pets, mascots, and more—just make sure you have permission to use the image.
Upload a high-resolution original photo (not a screenshot or compressed file). Best results come from images with a clear subject, good lighting, and minimal obstructions. Sharp full-body or upper-body images give cleaner cut lines and better print quality.
Yes, we offer paid photo editing. We can refine cropping, improve edges, remove distracting elements, and make adjustments to make your cutout look cleaner. Add your requests in the order notes and our team will review them.
We offer sizes from 1 ft to 8 ft:
- 1–3 ft: Table decor, photo props, small party displays
- 4–6 ft: Most popular for life-size cutouts
- 7–8 ft: Grand entrances, retail displays, trade shows
For a classic full-size look, 5–6 ft is usually the most natural choice for adult subjects.
Yes, your cutout includes back support for freestanding display on flat indoor surfaces. For uneven ground, busy venues, or outdoor setups, we recommend extra support like tape, wall backing, or additional weight at the base.
Yes, but we recommend Corrugated Plastic for outdoor use—it offers better rigidity, water resistance, and durability for short-term display. It's the better choice for lawns, entryways, or damp conditions.
- Corrugated Plastic: More rigid, water-resistant, better for short-term outdoor display
- Foam Board: Smoother surface, cleaner presentation, ideal for indoor events and photo-ready displays
Choose Foam Board for indoor display quality, or Corrugated Plastic for outdoor durability.
It's simple: choose your size, upload your photo, select the quantity, and add any notes for our team. A clear original image helps us produce the best result.
Yes. Rush service is available, and many orders can arrive in about 3–4 days depending on your location. Upload a clear photo as early as possible and watch for any order messages in case we need confirmation before printing.
Slight color variation can happen because screens display in RGB while printing uses CMYK. To reduce color shift, upload the original image, avoid heavy filters, and use high-quality files when possible.
