A White-Label Personalization, Custom Decoration & Fulfillment Platform
Celebrate the Momentâ„¢
MakeABatâ„¢ is a white-label personalization, custom decoration, fulfillment, and technology platform serving manufacturers, sports card collectors, sports organizations, NIL athlete programs, and licensing partners.
MakeABat™ 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 MakeABat™ 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 MakeA Photo Bat™ 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. Images can be printed full-bleed without a border or enhanced with a selection of professionally designed vintage and modern baseball card-inspired templates, allowing every MakeA Photo Batâ„¢ to reflect the customer's own style and story.
Upon receipt, the MakeABatâ„¢ graphic design team prepares a professional digital mockup illustrating the proposed layout and appearance of the finished product. The proof is emailed to the customer for review and approval before production begins, ensuring every personalized keepsake is produced exactly as envisioned.
MakeA Photo Bat™ preserves life's most memorable moments on the most iconic symbol of America's pastime — the baseball bat.
From youth baseball and softball games to championships, retirements, military service recognition, police and firefighter honors, first responder appreciation, weddings, births, family milestones, personal achievements, and community celebrations, MakeA Photo Batâ„¢ helps people celebrate and preserve the stories, sacrifices, and accomplishments that deserve to be remembered for generations.
