Customer: John, Promotional Products Studio Owner (USA)

John runs a local promotional gifts studio in the United States, mainly producing customized phone cases for online orders and local brands. Before working with KAIOU, he used heat transfer / sublimation printing for phone cases.

Challenges before:

• Slow production speed – less than 80 phone cases per day

• Only suitable for white or light-colored phone cases

• Limited materials and design flexibility

When John contacted us, his key requirement was clear: faster production, more materials, and true full-color printing on demand.
