4 Powerful Reasons to Skip Photo Booth Prints at Your Next Corporate Event
Are you a corporate event planner in Arizona looking to create more sustainable event experiences that protect the environment, local wildlife, and future generations?
One small shift can make a big impact: choose an all-digital photo booth rental instead of one that offers printed photos. At MISGIF, we specialize in offering the best sustainable Phoenix Arizona corporate photo booth rentals—and it all starts by ditching the printouts.
Here are four meaningful ways going digital helps your event go green:
1. You’ll Use Less Energy
Printers at events work hard—running nonstop, generating heat, and using electricity the entire time. A digital-only setup uses significantly less power, relying on energy-efficient cameras, tablets, and screens instead of power-hungry printers.
💡 Our most energy-efficient option? The Roaming Photo Booth, perfect for large crowds and minimal energy use.
When you choose a more sustainable photo booth for your Phoenix corporate event, you’re helping conserve more energy.
2. No Harmful Ink or Chemical Waste
Printed photo strips may be fun—but they also rely on ink, toner, and printer cartridges that can leach harmful chemicals into Arizona’s soil and water. These pollutants affect not only the environment, but also local wildlife and community health.
💡 Good news: MISGIF offers a variety of fun and engaging 100% print-free photo booths—plus, we refill ink and recycle when needed.
By choosing an all-digital, more eco-friendly corporate photo booth in Phoenix, Arizona, you’re helping reduce chemical waste at your next event.
3. Save Trees and Cut Down Paper Waste
It’s easy to underestimate the paper used at events by photo booths, but the volume adds up—especially with large guest lists. From unnecessary reprints to discarded photos, that’s a lot of waste (and trees) for something that often ends up in a drawer…or the trash.
💡 Client favorite?
Our Selfie Station Photo Booth—paper-free, all-digital, and endlessly shareable with branded photos, animated GIFs, and Boomerang videos.
Choosing a sustainable photo booth for corporate events in Arizona means fewer materials used, fewer trees cut down, and a more mindful guest experience.
4. Cut Down on Shipping and Emissions
Most photo booth supplies—ink, paper, printers—aren’t made in Arizona. They’re shipped from out of state or overseas, adding to your event’s carbon footprint. Choosing a local, digital-only provider cuts emissions and reduces unnecessary pollution.
💡 Fun fact: Every MISGIF photo booth is sourced, staffed, and supported right here in Arizona. No long-distance shipping. No excess waste. Just intentional event choices.
When you choose an all-digital Arizona photo booth company that cares about event sustainability you instantly minimize your corporate event’s carbon footprint.
“But Don’t Guests Love Prints?”
Here’s the truth: yes, but they probably won’t miss them. In fact, we know they won’t because between 2019 and 2024 we stopped offering them.
We’ve done over 1,500 events without prints—and never once had a guest complain. On the contrary, they’re thrilled to get stylish branded photos instantly on their phone via text or email (and you get bonus brand exposure when they share online).
Our founder Jessie Whitfield saw the waste first-hand when she worked on nonprofit events in Arizona, and that’s why she built MISGIF from the ground up to be the best sustainable Phoenix Arizona corporate photo booth rental company.
Does MISGIF Offer Print Photo Booths?
Yes, we do offer prints now—because the truth is, being a small business is tough, and when there’s consistent demand for something, you feel the pressure to respond.
But we’re creative solution-seekers, and we weren’t willing to compromise our values. That’s why we re-introduced printed photos as an optional add-on (with a push toward nostalgic 2″x6″ photo strips, which are the most sustainable print format), while also building in a way to give back.
To offset the environmental impact of printing, we partner with local Arizona nonprofit Trees Matter via our GIF Back Club so a portion of our profits from every print event helps fund tree planting initiatives at local schools—allowing us to funnel hundreds of dollars each month into creating more green spaces across our community!
Digital Is Better—for the Planet and Your Brand
An all-digital booth isn’t just a sustainable choice—it’s a smarter one. From text delivery (most sustainable method for sharing photo booth photos) to instant social sharing, your branded content gets more visibility, while your event earns points for reducing environmental impact.
And let’s be real—today’s clients and customers notice when brands make intentional choices. Offering a more eco-friendly corporate photo booth alternative in Phoenix, Arizona shows your guests and stakeholders that your brand takes sustainability seriously.
Ready to Ditch Prints and Go Greener?
Choosing a more sustainable photo booth option for corporate events in Arizona is one of the simplest ways to make your next event more environmentally responsible—and unforgettable.
