What the machine earns
Custom printed cases retail for $25–$35 at roughly 65% gross margin. A well-placed machine in a mall, airport or campus location is typically modelled at around $1,000–$1,200 per week in profit potential. Operators running the phone case machine alongside a t-shirt printing machine model roughly $2,000/week combined. The machine runs unattended 24/7 — nights, weekends and public holidays earn without a shift change.
Timeline: order to earning
Six weeks from cleared payment to a live, installed machine. That covers the build, delivery, on-site installation, calibration and your training. Day one, it’s stocked and selling.
