Key Considerations for Partners
Strengths:
- No-cost reseller membership making it accessible for small businesses
- Comprehensive product catalog focused on photo gifts
- Established business with nearly 20 years of operation
- Multiple integration options for different business sizes
- Handles production, shipping, and returns
Potential Concerns:
- Smaller scale operation compared to major POD competitors
- Focus appears to be primarily on photo-based products rather than broader POD offerings
- Limited transparency regarding production times and quality standards on their public-facing materials
Summary
Imagine Your Photos appears to be a legitimate, established POD partner best suited for businesses specifically focused on photo gift products. Their long operational history and integration with major platforms indicate reliability, though potential partners should request samples and clarify production times, quality standards, and shipping costs before committing. The company seems particularly appropriate for photographers, small gift shops, and businesses targeting the personalized photo gift market rather than those seeking broader apparel or general merchandise POD services.

Wine Tote from Imagine Your Photos
Ordered 4/30 Rec’d 5/6/25
Print and product quality -5 stars
Production time and shipping -5 stars
It has a slight smell to it (maybe ink?)
It did come with my shop name and my thank you insert.
I’m not a drinker, but I can see it would be great to take to outdoor events: concerts, picnics, etc..
I used the design on napkins and it looked great. Not sure I like it on this product. Maybe it’s the pattern I used.
I’m currently focused on home decor and this currently doesn’t fit my shop niche.

Poker Playing Cards by Imagine Your Photos
I hadn’t seen a review on these in a long time, and we wanted a personal set!
2 days in production
Delivered one week from ordering
PROS
– came well packaged in a bubble mailer and wrapped in bubble wrap
– envelope included my business name with their return address
– cards come in a nice plastic case with lid
– print quality is nice
– shuffle surprisingly well
CONS
– These are made from what seems to be a satin finish cardstock. It seems very unlikely they are waterproof. We always have beverages and snacks while playing cards, so I predict they will get damaged quickly.
– Many of the cards have faint markings on them – perhaps the printed side wasn’t fully dry before stacking the cards together. These were produced at a slow time of year, so I would have concerns about this during busy season.
– Too expensive for the quality and the markup you would need for reasonable profit
Are these the worst cards ever? Definitely not, but I can’t comfortably put them in my store without waterproof properties and with the smudges.

The Generic Brand poker playing cards are for the most part, really great! I ordered them on January 10th, they were produced and shipped on January 13th, received on January 17th. Quick turnaround? I’d say so!
To begin with, as brand new cards, they aren’t stiff and hard to hold or manage as some new playing cards can be. They fit in your hands nicely and shuffle and deal nicely. I’m happy with the print as each card looks crisp and on point. I created the design on the Printify site by uploading my Play Ball! image, choosing a background color, choosing the pattern option, then adding an image on top of one of the baseballs. It looks as I intended, so I’m happy with it! I didn’t see the Jokers were included at first and had to hunt them down, but those are included and mine were definitely there. The deck is in a very nice plastic cover, it was wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a 4x4x4 box and arrived perfectly intact.
My only complaint really, is on the faces of some cards, you can see smudges. As if the cards are printed so quickly, there’s no time for the ink to dry before the next card is printed and stacked on top. It just creates the look of being slightly dirty. It’s slight enough that you have to almost strain to see it in the photos.
All in all, a product I’m including in my store, especially as I get more original designs created. A fun new product to add and I already have 2 designs listed. Fingers crossed these go over!

Pewter Snowflake Ornament from Imagine Your Photos!
Ordered October 9th, delivered October 15th (yay!)
Glad my shop name was on the flat mailer. Came in this black box. The big “Made in China” was annoying. Print was very nice (better in person) & it had a good weight to it, indicating the pewter rather than cheap metal or even plastic. Will probably put a few in my Etsy merch shop. I think I will definitely use this sample to make generic mockups for it in my mockup shop if nothing else.

Christmas Stocking
ORDERED ON: Aug 30
PRINTED ON: Sept 3rd
SHIPPED: Sept 3rd
DELIVERED: Sept 9th
PACKAGING: Product arrived in a white mailer with my Business name prominently displayed on the top line, followed by the shippers address. I felt like I waited forever for this product to arrive, but really, I didn’t. Product came from California, I’m in Florida so shipping time made sense when you include the weekend and a holiday (Labor Day).
PRODUCT DETAILS: I was quite pleased with this stocking overall. The stocking is not wrapped inside the mailer, just folded inside. The cuff is soft to the touch and polyester. You have 2 color options for the cuff: red and black/white and black. The body (boot) is burlap linen but not scratchy like some burlap materials can be. It’s fairly smooth to the touch. You can only print on one side of this stocking. This is a nice size stocking, comparable to others you will find in a store. I’ve included measurements in the photos. The boot is sewn a little wonky. I turned it inside out and you can clearly see where it should have been sewn for a boot.
PRINT QUALITY: The print is crisp and clear. I’m very impressed with how well the printing is and included some close-ups in the picture.
FLAWS: There is a spot on the stocking that at first glance appeared to be an ink stain or something like that. (see pic) Upon further review, I think it’s a black hair stuck in the fibers. I can’t get it out for the life of me! I imagine this is a one-off situation, an oddity really. So random, LOL. Luckily, it’s just for my husband so I’m not too stressed about it.
IN COMPARISON: My last stocking review was for the large plush stocking from MWW and it was really awful, so to get this one with such clean, crisp printing was a bonus. This one is sewn way better than the MWW one as well, and I think customers will really enjoy the look of this stocking if they are going vintage for the holiday.
My only wish would be to be able to print on the cuff area. I will be stocking this style in my store for the holidays.
