AI Trading Card Photo Booths for Fan Fests and Brand Activations
Fans register in line, step up to the kiosk, and leave with a one-of-one card: their photo, their stats, your sponsor's brand, printed front and back and sent to their phone. PivotXP has built this for ESPN and ACCN at the ACC tournaments, for Etzel, and for Chevrolet with Jack Morton, including AI baseball cards at the MLB All-Star Fan Fest.

How it works for a guest
Step 1
Register in line
Guests scan a QR code on their phone and enter their details. At the ACC Men's Tournament that was name, hometown, position, height, and jersey number.
Step 2
Scan at the kiosk
A personal QR code starts the session and pulls their details into the card, so nobody types at the booth and the line keeps moving.
Step 3
Photo, then the card
The kiosk takes the photo and our software builds the card. Add AI to transform the guest into the athlete, or keep the real photo.
Step 4
Print and digital
The guest leaves with a printed front-and-back card and a digital copy. Hard cases and sponsor-branded holographic stickers are options we have shipped.
What we build for your event
- Card art, stats, and layout built to your brand guidelines and the sponsor's art specs
- Mobile registration and QR flow, with your opt-in language
- Brand-guided AI prompts, tuned for your sport and your look, when the program uses AI
- Age-aware delivery rules, as at the ACC Baseball Tournament: 13 and older got print and digital, younger guests print only
- Data tied to one guest record that can also run photo ops, games, and RFID in the same footprint
- A results dashboard: registrations, cards created, and deliveries

Trading card, postcard, or magnet: which takeaway fits
All three put the guest's photo in their hand. The difference is what they do with it next.
| System | What the guest gets | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Trading card | A collectible card with the guest's own stats, printed front and back, with a digital copy | Sports, fan fests, sponsor programs, anything competitive |
| Postcard | A 4x6 photo on a custom adhesive postcard, ready to stamp and mail, as on Progressive's program | Pop-up tours, travel, and brand moments meant to be sent |
| Magnet | A personalized photo magnet, as at Chevrolet's New York Auto Show program | Auto shows and retail, where the keepsake goes on the fridge |
All six capture systems, side by side: Photo + Video Experiences.
No templates. Ever.
Every deployment is a custom build for your company.
Your brand guidelines, not ours.
The kiosk comes from our fleet. Everything on it is built for you: the wrap, the start screen, the capture flow, the overlays, the share page, and the texts and emails guests receive are designed from scratch to your brand guidelines, not adapted from a stock layout. Your typefaces, your colors, your tone, your legal lines. Ours never appear.
Bring the brand guidelines to the kickoff call. No formal guidelines yet? We work from your logo files and website and send a style sheet for sign-off before the build starts.
Your typography and color system
We build to the brand book: approved typefaces, exact color values, logo clear space, and lockups. No near-miss colors, no fallback fonts.
Your voice on every screen
Start screens, prompts, consent language, share pages, and texts are written in your tone, then approved by your team before anything ships.
Your motion and sound
Transitions, idle loops, win states, and audio follow your motion and sound rules, or stay quiet if the brand says so.
Your legal and compliance lines
Official rules, disclaimers, age gates, and opt-in copy placed where your counsel wants them, word for word.
Your look on the hardware
Wraps, enclosures, and fabrication finished in the brand palette and materials. Nothing on the floor says PivotXP.
Your sign-off before it ships
You review a working build, not a mockup, and approve it against your guidelines before it goes on a truck.
Proof, not promises

Trading card photo booth FAQ
What is a trading card photo booth?
A photo booth that turns each guest into a collectible card. The guest registers, has their photo taken, and gets a one-of-one card with their photo, their stats, and the sponsor's brand, in print and as a digital copy to share.
What is the difference between AI trading cards and regular ones?
A regular card uses the guest's real photo. An AI card uses brand-guided generative AI to transform the guest, for example into the athlete on the card. PivotXP builds both. AI programs follow a documented data flow: no model training on guest photos and no facial recognition.
Are the cards printed on site?
Yes, when the program calls for it. Guests at the ACC Men's Tournament left with a printed front-and-back card, a hard case display, and a holographic sponsor-branded sticker, plus a shareable digital card. Digital-only programs are also an option.
Can it handle minors at a family event?
Yes. At the ACC Baseball Tournament, the workflow applied the rule from each guest's registration: guests 13 and older received print and digital, and younger guests received the print only.
Can you build the card for our brand or league?
Yes. Every card is built to your brand guidelines by PivotXP's local, in-house developers, with no PivotXP branding on guest outputs. Proven builds go live in days.
Can it capture leads?
Yes. Registration comes before the photo, so each card is tied to a guest record with your opt-ins, and that same record can run other photo ops, games, or RFID in the footprint.
How much does a trading card activation cost?
It is quoted per program as a line-item estimate the same business day. The main drivers are days on site, printed versus digital, whether AI is used, and whether a technician travels. Prints are priced per output type.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes, most of our work is for agencies, including Etzel, Jack Morton, and ERXM on trading card programs, and we can run white label.
Send the date and the city.
You will have a line-item quote the same business day, from the team that will run it.
