While we liked many of the Photobox card designs, we were disappointed to find out that they didn’t all seem to be available unless you were bulk-buying cards. We also found the creator tool to be quite buggy. It took a long time for the tool to respond to what we were clicking on and it was hard to manipulate the design.

The card itself was made from a decent quality card stock, and there weren’t any scratches, marks or other aberrations on the printed images. However, the image on the front cover of our Photobox photo card had been significantly brightened. It’s worth noting that the images inside were fine, so we assume that the software automatically bumped up the brightness as it felt our photo was too dark. The amount of enhancement the image received meant that our original editing and colour grading disappeared. With this in mind, we wouldn’t recommend this service for professional photographers who want to retain their colour grading.

The card was shipped in a reasonable time, and we had no complaints about the packaging.
