Production Techniques.

Production.
 When it comes to the production of the phone cases I have undertaken some research into the possible and cheapest way in which this can be done effectively.
 Firstly I used the site Alibaba.com  in order to research how many clear phone cases I can purchase and for the cheapest price. Initially I intended to purchase clear phone cases in a bundle, then send them off to be printed, rather than order them to be printed in the first place, almost taking out the middle man. So on this site I found that I could purchase plain clear iPhone cases, 500-2999 of them for $0.47. This was a lot lower than I ever anticipated, and of course when it comes to selling them on  I would make a large profit
 On the other hand I then researched sending the cases to print straight away, rather than purchasing them plain THEN sending then off. I found a site called Casefreak where it seemed you sent your designs off and then purchased the cases in bunch,however when trying to get a quote for these, it seemed to fail registering overtime, so unfortunately I had to keep researching more sites with a similar idea to this that were more legit! Next i came across Custom Logo Cases, where you bulk buy your cases after sending your designs off to be printed. You were able to chose the material (tough, gel, matte,gloss) and then how many you wanted to buy, the results are shown below.


For an iPhone 6 Hard case, you could purchase 50 cases for £7.23 each.


Next I noticed iPhone X gel cases, with a sum of 250 for £3.02, significantly cheaper than above.



Lastly I found this iPhone 7 gel case at the cheapest price and quantity, 1000 for £2.87.





In conclusion to my findings, I would use 'Custom Logo Cases' to purchase 1000 (initially, to see how sales go) for £2.87, meaning each case would cost under £3 to produce and make a profit of just over  3 times as much.
