About the The Case File
The Case File is the Mobster gone full paperwork. Instead of a single mugshot it builds a document: a typed cover sheet, an official stamp, a photo clipped to the corner and a rap sheet with room for a genuinely detailed criminal résumé. FEDERAL BUREAU runs across the top in cold typewriter caps. The noir treatment keeps the portrait sharp and serious, so the humor comes from the contents, not the styling. This is the poster for the friend whose crimes need bullet points: the coworker who reheats fish in the office microwave, the roommate with seventeen overdue library books, the uncle who has opinions about everyone’s parking. Upload the photo, then fill the file with as many charges as the joke can carry, because the longer the sheet, the bigger the laugh. It is made for office gifts, retirement roasts and any birthday where the person takes themselves a little too seriously. Download it instantly to slide across a desk, or ship the cotton print so the dossier gets framed and never expunged.
Example crimes and rewards
- Reheating fish in the office microwave $18,000
- Seventeen overdue library books $9,500
- Strong opinions about everyone’s parking $12,000

Questions people ask before buying
Is the The Case File poster customizable?
Fully. Upload your own photo and edit the name, the crime, the reward, the paper and the typeface. The preview updates live before you pay.
How do I receive it?
You download it instantly after paying $4.95, a print-ready high-resolution file (PDF + PNG). A download link is also emailed to you.
Can I print it at home?
Yes. It is 300 DPI and framed-sized, so it prints cleanly at home or at any print shop.
Will it look good with my photo?
Download the free watermarked preview and see for yourself before paying. Any photo works, but a face that fills the frame and looks at the camera gives the strongest result. The sepia halftone treatment hides a lot, including bad phone lighting.
How fast do I get it?
The download link appears the second the payment clears, and it is emailed to you as well. No waiting, no approval step, no proof to validate.
Can I print it myself?
Yes, that is what most people do. The file is 300 DPI and prints cleanly at home, at a copy shop, or through any online print service. If you would rather not deal with it, pick a printed size and it ships to your door.
Can I change it after I buy?
Yes. Your personalization is saved, so you can come back, fix a typo or swap the photo, and re-download at no extra cost.
Is it a real gift or a gag?
Both, which is the point. It reads as a joke for ten seconds and then it gets framed, because it is genuinely about someone. That is why people buy it for birthdays, retirements and bachelor parties.
