What kind of player photo works best on a banner?

Use the original, full-size photo from the camera or phone, taken in good light with the player filling most of the frame. Screenshots and photos pulled from social media are often too small to print sharp on a large banner. A plain background makes it easier to cut the player out cleanly.

Do

  • Send the original file, not a screenshot
  • Shoot in daylight or bright gym light
  • Have the player fill the frame from the waist up

Avoid

  • Blurry action shots
  • Busy backgrounds if you want the player cut out

If a cutout is needed and the background is busy, our team cuts it out by hand before your free proof. Upload photos in our vinyl banners designer.

Do we get a proof before it prints?
Yes. Every Stickerine order gets a free digital proof, and nothing prints until you approve it.
