Did you know that Printful offers custom phone cases? It means you can add cases for the most recent iPhone and Samsung models to your store (or print a one-off case for yourself!).

Popular smartphone accessory

As smartphone sales grow and new innovations come to market, phone case sales will also grow. And according to a survey conducted by Statista in 2017, 79% of smartphone owners have a case for their phone.

• Durable protection – these people are looking for a solid, quality case that will protect their phone
• Fashion and style – this group of people places the utmost importance on the aesthetics of the case
• Practical fashion – this group also cares about the case’s aesthetics, but they’re more sensitive to cost
• Basic protection – this group is the least selective; they want a functional case to protect their phone, but they’re not particularly picky
• Tech enthusiasts – these people are savvy and generally enthusiastic about all things tech

Phone cases are a popular must-have for many smartphone owners. The motivations for buying cases are vastly different – some people emphasize the practicality and protection, while others are more interested in a case that represents their personal style.

More high-fashion brands such as Louis Vuitton are delving into phone case designs, positioning phone cases as not only a practical tech accessory, but also a fashion statement. With a case, your phone can be easily customized and used to express your personality.

Through Printful, you can enter the phone case market and create phone cases with your own designs. The next section of this post covers details about Printful’s phone cases and printing process, and includes tips to create graphics.

How are cases printed?

The first step for every phone case order is approving the graphics – if the graphics match our guidelines, the order is sent to print.

Before printing, a trained operator makes sure the printer doesn’t have any lint or dust. A white underbase and colored top coat are then printed simultaneously using UV printing technology. Once the cases are complete, they’re packaged in poly bubble padded mailers and shipped out.
