Metamate Meet Up

From AI to Trading Card: Meta Turns Staff into the Stars of Their Own Collectible

What if you could create your own trading card, starring yourself?

At the Metamate Meet Up, Meta brought AI creativity and personalisation together with Partyinkers’ Live Digital Printing experience, giving internal staff the chance to turn their AI-generated creations into personalised Player Cards with Card Cases.

Using Metamate Chat, staff generated their own imagery and transformed it into a unique trading card design before Partyinkers brought the final creation from screen to print.

Generate It. Print It. Collect It.

The experience started digitally, with Meta staff using Metamate Chat to generate an image for their own trading card design.

Once their artwork was ready, Partyinkers turned the digital creation into a physical Player Card through live digital printing, complete with a card case to protect and display their personalised collectible.

Combining AI in events with physical customisation gave staff more creative control over what they took home. Rather than selecting from a fixed design, the guest became part of the creative process from the very beginning.

It is also a fun example of how interactive event ideas can turn attendees from spectators into creators.

When AI Creativity Becomes a Keepsake

What made the Metamate Meet Up activation stand out was the journey from an AI-generated digital creation to a physical collectible.

The trading card format made the experience playful while giving every staff member something completely personal to them. This reflects the appeal of experiential event ideas, where participation becomes part of what makes the event memorable.

Similar to live event printing, guests could see their digital creations transformed into finished merchandise during the event itself.

AI-powered personalisation can work across many types of events and offer new inspiration for brand activation ideas. Partyinkers has also previously worked with Meta on personalised live-printed merchandise, showing how different creative formats can bring a fresh twist to internal staff experiences.

Custom Jacket Printing: How Live Customization Booths Are Transforming Event Experiences

META Select Highlight 2024 was a celebration of innovation, culture, and creativity, and Partyinkers was proud to be part of it. To add a fresh and personalized experience to the event, we introduced custom jacket printing, giving attendees the chance to design and own their very own META reversible jackets.

At our vibrant live customization booth, guests chose between two jacket colors and selected their favorite designs from a collection of 50 unique patches. From country flags and iconic foods to animals and cultural symbols from Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, and beyond, the possibilities were endless. To complete their masterpiece, guests added a personal touch with our live vinyl name services, customizing their jackets with up to nine characters of their choice.

The excitement was undeniable. Attendees loved exploring the different options, personalizing their jackets, and seeing them brought to life instantly with our live hybrid patches printing. The energy around the booth was infectious, and throughout the two-day event, over 300 custom jackets were printed live—a true testament to how interactive experiences can turn simple merchandise into something extraordinary.

Incorporating interactive event booth ideas like custom jacket printing transforms events by creating authentic, memorable guest experiences. Instead of traditional giveaways, guests walk away with a personalized keepsake they helped design, something that feels uniquely theirs. It’s a powerful way to build emotional connections and drive engagement at any event.

If you’re looking for ways to energize your next corporate event, live customization booths like jacket printing are the perfect solution. They combine creativity, personalization, and excitement into one seamless experience, ensuring your event stands out and stays memorable.
