Photo Collage Review and Giveaway!

By

I recently had the opportunity to order a photo collage print to review thanks to PNI and The Product Review Place. In doing this I learned that the same company supports many of the online photo ordering processes. It isn’t a big surprise but something I never thought about. PNI supports the on line ordering for CVS, Sam’s Club, Walmart Canada, and Costco.

I have never order a collage print before and didn’t know how it would turn out at all. I thought it might look a little cheesy all being on the same print but found the opposite to be true. It looks fabulous.

I ordered my collage print through Sam’s Club. I already had pictures uploaded to Sam’s Club so I just had to select the pictures I wanted for my print. I then selected the size and layout of the collage print. I was very impressed with the pricing. I then kept shuffling the pictures until I got the layout I wanted. I would have liked to been able to place the pictures where I wanted to put them but the shuffle finally got me to a layout I liked. The picture quality is really great. I will note that I did have to cut the edges off my 12″x16″ print since it was printed a larger sheet of paper on and not trimmed down to size.

So without further ado, here is the [edited] print I created and ordered:

Why is this budget friendly? Printing a collage print like this is a great savings over the collage prints that picture studios offer. I made this collage a print of newborn pictures of Little Dude to frame and hang in our stairwell. I am convinced it is going to look just as good as the picture studio prints of his sisters and no one will be the wiser!

PNI has offered one of my blog readers the chance to order a custom product too! The winner will be able to order a collage print from Costco or Sam’s Club (you have to be a member to do this and they are in store pick-up only) or a poster from CVS.
