You are not limited to those examples and are free to make changes as you please. Your custom photo strip design is not finalized until you are 100% satisfied and we have received your approval.

A Snapix attendant will place two table reminders on each table about 15 minutes before the booth’s run time. They will also carry a sample of your custom photo strip to show your guests as they place the table reminders.
