Senior print question - wallets w/text - 10-07-2009, 02:14 PM


For those of you that routinely do Seniors, do you offer wallets with the student's name and graduation year on them? If so, where do you order these from. I know Miller's does this with your company name, I'm guessing you could do a custom logo w/the kid's name and year instead of the company, I just wasn't sure what others do. I did one-off senior portraits for a family member and want to make sure she gets the same type of prints her friends are going to receive. :)

Give her more than her friends. Do rep cards. Her photo on one side and your information on the other. For every person she referres you gift her something. Maybe a sheet(8 wallets, 2 4x5 or 1 8x10).

Oh, I am definitely going to do that as well. Was just curious about the 'traditional' wallet prints.

I dont put the name or year..."I" think its outdated but if I did do it I would just do it in photoshop :)

Also one that does 411 cards the kids are ordering rather than wallets....better COG also...

I do wallets, through Millers, per the mom's request, picked an appropriate font, added her name and year to it in Photoshop, and had it printed on it when I ordered the wallets.

Sample attached.

The rep cards are awesome though...

411 - 10-07-2009, 07:26 PM


411 cards are just a fancy name I use for the cards for senior.

They have anywhere from 2-3 pics on them withthe kids info, ie; school name year their cell phone number and email address etc. kids love em. here a one from last year...and they are pretty cheap $12 bucks for 50

okay for some reason its not letting me uload images I will try again later

What's in is what the client wants. Our seniors still ask for the name and date thing.
