Best Practices for Printing

Now that you have some ideas on where to use your big head cutout, it’s time to get your photo ready for printing.

Step 1: Select your photo. Keep in mind:

  • Visual Appeal: Big head cutouts are already going to be eye-catching, but you still want to make sure you find a good photo that represents your subject. Choose a photo that truly embodies their personality and don’t be afraid to include personal features like glasses or a hat.
  • Clarity: You also want to make sure that your photo is hi-res, at least 300 dpi, and not blurry. Having a clear photo ensures you’re putting your best face forward.

Step 2: Visit our Big Head Cutout page here:

  • Choose your size from a width of 18-48” and a height of 18-48”
  • The 4mm coroplast board material and custom shape will be preset
  • Add any special instructions or notes if you have them
  • Adjust the quantity if you need multiples or are ordering for the whole team
  • Click “Add to Cart”

Step 3: Upload or drag and drop your photo(s) into the upload field. Review your information and click “Proceed to checkout”, enter your billing information and click “Place order”.

It’s that simple! Once we receive your order, we’ll trim it to a realistic custom shape and have it ready for your next game, party, or event!
