Sanrio Characters Designs Now Available on Card Connect

Card Connect, an arcade card printing machine available at amusement facilities across Japan, has launched a collaboration design event featuring Sanrio Characters. The event runs through Sunday, August 2.

The machine supports both double-sided and hologram printing, allowing players to print high-quality cards on-site. During the event, two options are available within the "Sanrio Characters" content: "Original Print," which lets players upload a photo to create a personalized card, and "Gacha Print," which delivers a randomly selected card from the event collection.

Sanrio Characters Original Print design lineup

With "Original Print," players can choose from eight character frames — individual designs for Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, Pochacco, and Chococat, plus one landscape group design featuring all the characters together. Each frame can be used to create a collage with your favorite photo.
