Custom Trading Card Activation in Los Angeles | Vans x Union LA x Dodgers

Bringing Sneaker Culture, Baseball, and Personalized Collectibles Together

When sneaker culture meets Los Angeles baseball, the experience deserves something just as memorable. Pixel Pro Photo Booths brought a unique custom trading card activation to Los Angeles for an event celebrating the Vans, Union Los Angeles, and LA Dodgers sneaker collaboration.

Rather than offering a traditional photo booth experience, we transformed guests into the stars of their own collectible trading cards, creating a personalized keepsake inspired by the collaboration.

Each guest walked away with a custom-designed physical trading card featuring themed branding and a custom sealing sticker, along with a digital version to save and share.

A Custom Trading Card Experience Inspired by LA Culture

Los Angeles is home to an incredible mix of sports, streetwear, and sneaker culture. The Vans and Dodgers footwear collection brought these worlds together, with Union Los Angeles playing a role in the collection's release.

For this corporate brand activation, we wanted to create an experience that captured that same energy.

Our custom trading card photo booth gave every attendee the opportunity to become part of the collaboration through a personalized, collectible card.

The custom trading card design incorporated the Vans x Union activation theme, helping create a cohesive brand experience that went beyond traditional event photography.

Personalized Trading Cards with Custom Sealing Stickers

One of the standout elements of this Los Angeles activation was the attention to detail.

Every guest received their own custom trading card, designed specifically for the event and presented with a custom-branded sealing sticker.

The experience included:

• Custom-themed trading card designs: Personalized cards featuring the event's Vans x Union branding and visual theme.

• Physical trading card keepsakes: Guests received printed copies of their personalized cards to take home.

• Custom sealing stickers: A branded finishing touch that gave each card a collectible feel.

• Digital trading card copies: Guests also received digital versions of their cards, making it easy to save, share, and post their experience online.

By combining a physical collectible with a digital keepsake, the activation created multiple ways for guests to remember and engage with the experience.

Why Custom Trading Cards Are Perfect for Corporate Brand Activations

In today's experiential marketing landscape, brands are looking for creative ways to connect with their audiences beyond traditional promotional giveaways.

A custom trading card activation offers something different: an interactive experience where the attendee becomes part of the branded content.

Unlike standard event merchandise, personalized trading cards are unique to each guest.

For sneaker launches, sports partnerships, product releases, and corporate events, this type of activation offers several advantages.

1. An Interactive Experience Guests Can Participate In

Instead of simply receiving promotional merchandise, guests become part of the experience by having their own personalized trading card created.

2. A Branded Keepsake Worth Holding Onto

Custom printed trading cards feel more like collectibles than traditional event giveaways. The addition of a custom sealing sticker makes the presentation even more memorable.

3. Digital Content That Extends Beyond the Event

Providing digital copies gives guests an easy way to share their cards with friends or on social media, creating opportunities for additional organic brand exposure.

4. Custom Branding for Any Campaign

Trading card designs can be tailored to reflect brand colors, campaign graphics, event themes, and product launches.

For the Vans x Union Los Angeles Dodgers event, the themed design helped tie the experience directly to the sneaker collaboration.
