What Is Phone Case Printing?

Phone case printing is the process of applying custom artwork onto protective phone covers using various printing technologies—such as UV printing, sublimation, or direct-to-substrate methods. Each process has pros and cons depending on quality, material, and cost.

Why use Digital UV Printing on Phone Cases?

Custom phone case printing is a thriving market where Digital UV LED technology stands out as the premier choice. By curing ink instantly with light, this process ensures a powerful bond across diverse materials—from soft TPU and leather to hard plastics—without needing expensive pre-coats or lamination.

This technology excels in both quality and efficiency. UV inkjets deliver consistent, vibrant images even on dark or transparent surfaces, allowing for unique 3D textures you can actually feel. Because the prints dry immediately, manufacturers can bypass mounting and drying phases, significantly reducing labor costs and production time.

Key Advantages of Custom Phone Case Printing

High Performance: Rapid production speeds with unmatched accuracy for complex patterns.

Versatile & Green: An eco-friendly process compatible with almost any substrate.

Picking the Right Phone Cover Printing Machine

The growth of your shop depends on having the right equipment that matches how much you want to sell. Choosing a high-quality phone cover printing machine ensures that your work looks professional and stays the same every time you hit the print button.

• For Beginners: The HOLDWIN 6090UV is the industry standard for small shops. Its vacuum bed ensures cases don’t shift during printing.

• For Mass Production: The 3220 Model allows you to print hundreds of cases in a single pass, maximizing your hourly profit.

Great Precision for Small Shops

If you are just starting out or have a small boutique, the 6090 UV is a fantastic choice that offers a lot of power in a good size. It comes with a special vacuum bed that sucks the cases down to keep them perfectly flat, ensuring that every tiny detail stays sharp on its 600mm x 900mm surface.

Growing for Larger Needs

When you start getting way more orders, you might need a machine that can handle a bigger load. The 1810 model is built with a larger space so you can print more cases at once without losing any speed. For those who need to make hundreds of items a day, the 3220 model is a giant that lets you fill up a huge table and print everything in one go. These bigger machines use very strong parts to make sure the colors look exactly the same on the first case and the last case, making them perfect for heavy phone case printing jobs.

The Simple Steps to Print a Case

Once you have your new phone cover printing machine ready, following a clear path will help you get the best results without making mistakes.

1. Select Suitable Case Material – TPU, PC, silicone, etc.
2. Get the Art Ready: Use your computer software to line up your pictures. Clear photos make sure your machine can show every little shade of color.
3. Use a Template: Put your cases into a tray or a “jig.” This keeps them from moving around so you can print on many cases at the same time with no errors.
4. Jigging is Critical: A proper jig or tray is non-negotiable. For high volume, invest in custom-milled jigs that hold dozens of cases perfectly flat and at a consistent height.
5. Print and Dry: The machine puts down the ink and a clear coat while the UV light dries it all at once.
6. Final Check: A final inspection under good light is crucial. Check for alignment, color accuracy, and any spots where the ink may not have adhered properly.
