Phone Case Packaging Boxes.

We use one of two routes, either digital printing, which needs no plates so each model can have its own artwork, or a common box with the model name applied as a variable element. Digital suits low volumes spread across many SKUs. The common box is cheapest once volumes grow.

Plenty of brands mix the two, running digital for new or slow models and a shared design for the best sellers.

Phone generations look almost identical, so an abbreviated name on the back is how wrong-model returns happen. We print the full model name large on the front and again on the hang tab.

On a peg wall, packs are often seen edge-on, and the tab is sometimes the only part a shopper reads before picking one off. Keeping the name in the same position on every box also speeds up restocking.

Typical slim boxes are about 6.5 by 3.5 by 0.75 inches, with larger or rugged cases closer to 7 by 4 by 1 inch. With a thin product, every millimetre of extra depth shows on the shelf, so we size tight to the case.

We measure the case lying flat, including any raised camera surround or kickstand, and allow for a window or card insert if there is one. Dimensions are inside length, width and depth.

Full CMYK digital print is the usual choice, since it carries per-model artwork with no plate cost. A window panel shows the case colour and texture, which drives most of the decision, and a touch opening lets shoppers feel the finish where the store allows it.

Matte lamination suits higher-tier brands, and uncoated kraft fits minimal, sustainability-led ranges. At the premium end, a slim rigid box adds weight in the hand without adding bulk.

Our standard minimum is 500 units, and lower quantities are possible on enquiry for this product. Per-model volumes in cases are often small, so ask and we'll tell you what we can do on a digital run.

Above 1,000 pricing moves onto tiers, and the top of the range is 100,000. The common-box route also helps, because many models share one printed run and only the model panel changes.

Standard turnaround is 7 to 10 business days, and rush jobs can be done in 5 to 7, which suits the pace of new model launches. Digital print keeps set-up short, since there are no plates to make for each model.

A sample takes 5 to 7 business days, and its fee is credited against the production order. For a new model, we'd sample as soon as the case itself exists so the fit is checked before release.

For peg display we'd reinforce the hang hole, because a thin carton is handled and re-hung many times before it sells. A reinforced hang patch adds extra material around the hole so it doesn't tear or stretch.

The same box can also be built to face forward on a shelf, so you can sell into pegged and shelf retail from one design. A tuck end at the base keeps the case from sliding out while the box hangs.

Kraft board works well for minimal and sustainability-led case brands, and it takes digital print cleanly for per-model artwork. The natural brown gives an understated look, with dark print and the model name reading clearly on it.

If you want the box to recycle as paper, leave off the window film and use a touch opening or a printed case image instead. Folding boxboard stays the better choice when bright colour matters more.
