What Are The Best Card Cut Outs Available To Purchase

By Christa Garrett


Today it is hard to know what are the most popular life size cutouts. There are so many designs on the market that today political figures might be in demand, while tomorrow might see an increase in interest in rock stars or Hollywood idols. Anniversaries - like Elvis' birthday - might see a spike in orders for his likeness, and teenage girls might start a run on 'Twilight' paraphernalia.

Many famous people have been honored as the subject of life size cut outs. Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga can be seen around town, either next to their records in stores or in the foyer of a home where a party is going on. Guests could also be greeted by the President of the United States - or by Tinkerbell, for that matter. Batman or the Joker, or Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow - it's your choice. It is also possible to make a life size cut out much more personal by sending off one of your own photographs to get a custom, free-standing figure. Imagine having your grandmother see a full-size image of herself in her wedding gown as she arrives at her eightieth birthday party. Anything that suits the occasion can be an attention-grabbing accent to the party.

If you go online, you will see photo galleries of many popular examples of the life size cardboard cutout. You will see Michael Jackson, Elvis, past and present presidents, Tinkerbell, and Santa. There will be hundreds more for you to survey, indexed by subject or genre. Free-standing cut outs are made by printing a glossy, full-size photo and attaching it to a rigid backing. The backing is trimmed to leave no visible edges, so the figure is truly life like. A strong, folding stand is on the back, so the figure is stable and needs no other support.

As well as depictions of famous people or characters from books, films, or television, there are trick cut outs. There may be no head or holes where faces can show through, to enable people to put their own faces in a souvenir photo. This sort of gimmick works well for fund raisers, company parties, local fairs, and youth gatherings. Think about getting your own face on a svelte figure cuddled up to Edward Cullen of 'Twilight' fame, or having your toddler smiling next to Cinderella.

Of course, there is another use for these eye-catching fixtures. Many are used for advertising. Bars might station a curvaceous cutie next to a cold beer bottle as large as she is. Both, of course, will be printed on paper. Country music stars allow their likenesses to be used to promote store sweepstakes or their own concerts.

So what are the most popular lifesize cardboard cutouts? It will be one this year and another the next, depending on things like whether or not it is an election year or what the latest teen fad is. All you really need to know is what theme will fit your needs and where you will put the full-size images of it.
