PATENTED FIXTURE

No holder, no changeover — the shell locates itself

The usual method clamps the phone in a model-specific holder: an extra step, an extra part per model, and a locating surface that drifts. We let the shell do the locating instead — no holder, no changeover error, and the print can run full bleed with no white edge.

No holder to swap between models
No holder surface to wear or bend
Full bleed, no white edge

PRINT HEAD

Epson XP600, driven by our own board

The XP600 is a workhorse of industrial digital printing: wide gamut, and forgiving of the small height differences across a curved case. The driver board underneath is ours, which is why the print curve and resolution can be tuned remotely from the dashboard.

720–2,880 dpi, chosen per artwork
1.5 pl minimum drop
UV-cure ink, four colours

CURING

Cured inside the cabinet, ready when it drops

A high-energy UV lamp bank sits on the print platform, so the case is fully surface-cured before it reaches the pickup port. No drying rack, no drying area, and the customer can fit it to the phone at the machine.

No drying rack, no floor space
Surface resists scratching

448 blanks in seven lanes, front door, ten minutes to refill

Seven independent lanes hold 448 blanks, so a best-seller and a long-tail model share the same cabinet. The front door opens without tools and a full refill takes about ten minutes.

56 case types on board
8 blanks per type
Front-door refill, about 10 minutes

Ask for the service manual before you pay. It lists these four parts by number, their replacement intervals, and the fault code each one throws.

BUYER QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions About Phone Case Vending Machines

What is the minimum order — can I buy a single cabinet?

One unit. Most first-time operators start with a single CT-SJK360 to validate venue footfall before scaling to multiple sites. Every unit is built to order and passes our 8-gate inspection in Panyu.

How long does it take to print a custom phone case?

Approximately 3 to 6 minutes depending on image resolution and full-bleed coverage. The screen displays a live countdown timer after payment, and the built-in UV lamp bank cures the ink instantly so the case is dry and scratch-resistant upon pickup.

Will the printed image scratch off or fade over time?

No. We use industrial Epson XP600 printheads paired with high-adhesion UV-curable inks and a matte protective finish. The ink bonds directly to the polycarbonate shell, resisting daily pocket friction, sweat, and UV fading.

Which phone models are supported, and how do I update for new releases?

One cabinet holds 56 popular models across recent iPhone and Samsung Galaxy generations (448 cases total). Before shipping, we tailor the 56-model mix to your local market's best-sellers. When new phones launch, simply swap in the new blank cases and update the slot mapping via the cloud dashboard — no hardware modifications required.

Can I source blank phone cases locally instead of buying from you?

We strongly recommend ordering blank shells directly from us. Our patented bracket-free fixture relies on exact shell tolerances to achieve edge-to-edge full-bleed alignment; third-party cases with slight dimensional variance may print off-center. Blank cases are lightweight and can be restocked economically via air express.

What is the exact consumable cost per printed case?

US$0.92 per standard case (US$0.90 for the matte blank shell + about US$0.02 for UV ink). Magnetic MagSafe-compatible blank shells are US$1.45 each. A 4-colour 500 ml UV ink set costs US$40 and prints roughly 2,000 cases.

How do customers upload photos, and what payment methods are supported?

Customers scan a QR code on the touchscreen to upload photos straight from their phone's camera roll, add text or filters, then pay via Nayax cashless terminals (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay) or the local multi-currency bill and coin acceptors.

What happens if there is a print issue or low stock?

Our cloud management dashboard sends instant alerts to your phone when ink or a specific case lane runs low. From the mobile dashboard you can check live machine status and adjust pricing without visiting the venue.

What power supply is needed, and what are the shipping dimensions?

Configured at the factory for either 110 V or 220 V to match your local grid. Standby draw is 120 W and peak printing draw is 260 W, running safely on a standard 10 A wall outlet. Production lead time is 3–15 days, shipped in a fumigation-free plywood crate measuring 1,100 × 1,040 × 1,950 mm (2.23 CBM, 400 kg gross).
