How to choose?
Which product will give me best print quality?
The concept of printing quality is very subjective. Some people seek for the best definition while others might look for the best lifetime for their image. We use a sublimation process where ink penetrates into the material (plastic or fabric) or in the coating layer designed for this process. The best print definition will be obtained on our Chromaluxe inserts for interchangeable products because of quality multi-layer coating them. Then comes full print cases and flap cases with fabrics for which ink goes deeper into the material. For these, and depending on the type of material, a slight dispersion occurs decreasing definition slighlty. Finally products printed on an insert (flexible or rigid case) have a very decent quality but have only a thin layer of coating.
Which product will give the best protection to my device?
First of all do not be confused between device protection and a fragile case. Besides aesthetic aspect of our products, their purpose is first of all to protect the device and break if necessary to soften the blow for the device. The best protection is achieved by flap cases. Made with fabric and absorbing material, they protect the whole device when closed. Then there are the so-called "soft" bumper-type cases that have absorbing sides while also protecting the back of the unit and slightly the front for some of them. Then full printing products are mostly made in a thick rigid plastic, protecting the unit very well on the sides and rear. These latest also have one of the more resistant print.
Which product is more appropriate for a marketing campaign or please someone at a small price?
Classic cases are best suited for marketing operations with their low cost while remaining qualitative on the rendering point. However, depending on your project or if you want to please, better focus on soft cases (shockproof) that are slightly more expensive but offer better protection and greater durability.
