Photo Lab, Prints and Film Developing in California since 1982
We have been professionally creating life-size cutouts for over twenty years in our lab. We make cutouts from your image file or photo. Please send us a high resolution image file, usually that would be the original file from the camera or phone. Low resolution images like screen grabs from a phone, or small images from the web or social media are rarely sharp enough to make an acceptable life-size cutout. If you're not sure, email us the file first.
We DO NOT have a library of stock images of celebrities, super heros or politicians. Our life size cutout is a real photographic print mounted on 3/16" foamcore board with a matte laminate and a fold out stand and base. Please provide us with the actual height of the subject so we can make your cutout really life-size. If we are shipping to you, we will make the cutout in two pieces with a tight fitting tab and slot to seamlessly re-assemble. For commercial use, we recommend that you add the double thickness foamboard for lastly durability. We can make cutouts of just about anything, not just people. We've cut out dogs, motorcycles, farm animals, stage props, graphic designs, and more. Turn- around time in our lab is about 3 days plus shipping. Questions?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
The basic life size cutout is a real photographic print mounted on 3/16" foamcore board with a matte laminate and a fold out stand and base. Most other online cutouts are printed on thin cardboard. It is perfect for any event, party, promotion or special occasion. We can make it from any digital file, print or slide.
A standard cutout up to 30" wide is $30 per foot of height (minimum 3 feet), cutouts 30"-36" wide are $35 per foot of height and cutouts 36"-44" wide are $40 per foot of height (minimum 3 feet). A non-reflective matte lamination is included. Double thickness reinforcement is an additional $10.00 per foot.
The price is based on the height and width of the cutout. Talking bubbles are $40.00 each and are made to be removable from the cutout. Shipping is $35 for the first cutout and $15 for each additional.

HOW TO SEND YOUR LIFESIZE CUTOUT ORDER
Use this link to our online ordering system.
First select the cutout width you think will fit, and then the correct template box for the height.
Please tell us the exact height of the subject in the Comments Box in your order.
Open the creation screen, first choose your JPG image file; the larger the digital file size the better; and then use the EDIT and ZOOM buttons to fill the presized template with your image.
If you want your cutout 5'10" tall, you need to size your image very close to the top of the 6 foot template box.
Once you are finished with adjusting your image, you are now ready to order!
If your image is too wide for the box, then start over and select a wider cutout template.
Cutouts more than three feet tall are shipped in two pieces and can be easily and securely re-assembled. Our Standard Shipping in the continental USA is by FedEx Ground at $35 for the first cutout and $15 more for each additional cutout shipped in the same box. We usually ship within 2-3 days after receiving your order so you can estimate delivery in 7-10 days.
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, International, overnight or 2-day service will require an additional charge. We will call you with the details. We DO NOT ship cutouts by USPS Priority or Express Mail.
If you have a question, call us at 562-290-8469 or email us at fromexlb@gmail.com
If you are taking a new digital photo for the cutout: Set your digital camera to the highest JPG resolution possible. Stand back about 20 feet and zoom in to make your subject fill the frame vertically top to bottom, be sure to include the feet, and use your flash to fill the shadows; the background is irrelevant.
If you only have a print, mail it to us along with your instructions, and we will phone or email you to confirm your order. We will return your print with the cutout.

"I had a 6'4" cutout made for a friend for an upcoming birthday party. I can't tell you how much FUN these can be at parties. The cutout is unbelievably human like. I ordered online and picked it up a couple days later -- what could be easier? "

"The cut outs you made us for the World Ag Expo were the hit of the show! We used very recognizable people, and placed them strategically in our 40 X 80 foot space. People came by just to take their picture with them! ....Friends have asked me how I am going to top this next year!"
