A profitable business does not always require large investments, and printing on covers is an example of this. Experience shows that more and more owners of phones and smartphones, purchasing, in general, standard models, want to have personalized or fashionable cases for them. This is the basis of the idea of future commercial activity – printing on covers. Even a novice entrepreneur who keeps up with the times can organize such a promising business using a creative approach.

Starting a phone case printing business from scratch: where to start?

To open a commercial activity, the first step is to collect a package of permits to conduct business in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. To print on covers at the tax office and pay a single tax.

What documents must be provided to register an individual entrepreneur:

Application on form 21001.
A copy and original passport.
A copy and TIN in the original.
Certificate of payment of state duty.

An entrepreneur who wants to work under the simplified tax system (simplified taxation system) writes an application in form 26.2-1. Foreign citizens attach to the package of documents a copy of the certificate for the right to reside in Russia.

Reference . Form 21001 can be obtained directly from the Federal Tax Service, and can also be downloaded from the official website of the tax service.

Features of printing technology on phone cases: how to make a picture or photo on a case?

Most often, printers operating on the principle of sublimation (disperse) printing are used for printing. This means that the special ink used to create the design is transferred to the surface being processed under the influence of high temperatures. The printer can print in 4 and 6 colors. But usually 4 colors are enough for a high-quality image.

Stages of applying a picture or photo to a case:

First, print the selected image in a mirror image using an inkjet printer.
After this, the ink should dry at room temperature, which will take 15-20 minutes. A dried picture can be stored for as long as desired, the main thing is not to get it wet.
We cut the drawing along the contour, leaving a small margin around the edges.
We fix the picture on the surface of the cover with thermal tape so that the paper does not move during printing. You can also use heat-resistant film, but never tape. Under the influence of high temperature, the glue from its surface will transfer to the workpiece being processed and will remain on it.
The product prepared in this way is placed in a heat press, where, under the influence of a temperature of 190-2000C and vacuum, the design is transferred to the surface of the cover. The process takes 6-7 minutes.
After turning off the heat press, the case is cooled in a special metal form.
You can remove the paper and thermal tape from it, the case is ready.

The good thing about business is that printing on covers does not require special skills, complex setup of devices or individual training.

What equipment do you need to print on phone cases?

Not all cases are suitable for sublimation printing. Many of them are made of different materials, and the design is applied to their surface using special printers. Covers for sublimation printing are distinguished by the fact that they are coated on top with a thin layer of material that ensures the transfer of the print to the workpiece at high temperature and vacuum.

For 3D sublimation, completely plastic cases are available. The image is applied to them from all sides. For 2D sublimation, cases with a metal back cover are used, where the drawing is transferred. The covers on the sides remain unchanged.

Minimum set of equipment for printing on phone cases:

Name	Short description	price, rub.
Epson printer	At the initial stage, an Epson Workforce 30 printer equipped with CISS is sufficient.	5000
Color ink for sublimation printing	Set of 5 jars, each capacity 100 ml	3000
A4 paper (100 sheets)	From 1 sheet of sublimation printing paper you can make 4 3D cover prints and 7 2D cover images	700
Vacuum heat press	Can process up to 6 cases in one cycle of just 2 minutes.	20000
Case blank (1 pc.)	Cover blanks are purchased as needed	33
Cooling mold	Designed to cool covers after printing

To accommodate all the equipment you will need no more than 1-2 sq.m.

Advice . If an entrepreneur, at the same time as printing on covers, also wants to master application, then it is better to immediately buy a printer for printing on A3 paper. But they are more expensive.
