Confidential Presentation

Executive Summary

Make-A-Bat is a white-label personalization, custom decoration, fulfillment, and technology platform serving manufacturers, sports card collectors, sports organizations, NIL athlete programs, and licensing partners.

Make-A-Bat empowers baseball card manufacturers, dealers, and hobby enthusiasts to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake bat to match their favorite card — turning a beloved collectible into a display-worthy heirloom. The Company is actively working with MLB-certified bat manufacturers, MLB Players Association licensees, athlete-brand partners, and sports merchandising organizations to develop exclusive player-inspired, photo-themed collectibles and premium personalized memorabilia.

Invented by Jimmy Dunlap and Marcus Robinson, the Make-A-Bat IP portfolio — including a USPTO-issued Design Patent and Pending Utility Patent — creates meaningful barriers to entry while unlocking future licensing opportunities, athlete programs, and platform expansion across multiple manufacturers and distribution channels.

The Make-A-PhotoBat transforms favorite photographs into premium custom-painted wood baseball bat collectibles — turning life's most meaningful moments into one-of-a-kind commemorative keepsakes cherished for generations.

Customers simply upload their favorite photograph, artwork, or logo through our secure online submission portal and choose how they want it displayed.

Make-A-PhotoBat preserves life's most memorable moments on the most iconic symbol of America's pastime — the baseball bat.

Customer Experience

Customers securely upload their photographs, artwork, logos, or personalized content through our online submission portal. Upon receipt, the Make-A-Bat graphic design team prepares a professional digital mockup illustrating the proposed layout and appearance of the finished product.

The digital proof is emailed to the customer for review and approval prior to production. Once approved, the artwork moves into production, where it is professionally printed onto a premium custom-painted wood baseball bat using our proprietary production process.

Following production, we can also provide professional product photography, e-commerce image assets, and lifestyle marketing content, enabling our white-label partners to launch products quickly across their websites, online marketplaces, catalogs, retail displays, and social media channels.

This fully managed workflow enables partners to maximize manufacturing capacity, monetize excess wood inventory and bat billets, increase profitability, generate new revenue streams, and deliver premium personalized products with confidence — all while strengthening customer relationships under their own brand identity.
