Printing Safe Area

  • You can save your images as JPEG, but for transparent designs you have to use PNG file to preserve transparent areas.
  • Make sure all key design elements stay within the safe zone.
  • Fill the entire layout area including the bleed area.

Logo Placement on Clear Phone Cases

For consistent visibility across all phone models, place your brand logo approximately 40 mm (475 px) from the bottom edge of the case. This placement ensures the logo remains clearly visible on most devices.

Key Design Considerations for Clear Phone Cases

Clear phone cases allow transparent areas, meaning you can print only selected elements (for example, removing the background entirely).

⚠️ Transparency is critical:

  • Transparent areas must be 100% transparent.
  • Any semi-transparent pixels will be printed with white ink underneath.

The printing process starts with white ink, followed by other colors. If transparency isn’t handled correctly, unwanted white edges may appear.

Common issues to avoid:

  • Pixels that are not fully transparent may cause visible white outlines.
  • Shiny or gradient effects on text can leave stray pixels around letters.
  • Pixel tracking tools (e.g., Photoshop’s Magic Wand) can help detect unwanted pixels.

Best practice:
Cleanly cut out objects or use a solid background to prevent printing issues.

Color Tips: Avoid Neon RGB Colors

The printing process uses CMYK, which means neon RGB colors cannot be accurately reproduced. Neon shades may appear duller in print.

To reduce color discrepancies:

  • Always preview how your colors convert from RGB to CMYK
  • Adjust tones before exporting the final RGB file
