Real locations
The machine shoppers see in malls, airports and stations
Not a mockup — live PrintCase Express units in premium footfall. Partners buy a machine that already looks like a finished brand, not a pilot experiment.
Shopping mall
Families, gifts, dwell time — the steadiest conversion in the network.
Airport
Travellers want a photo souvenir. Higher ticket, short decision.
Daily footfall
Under 1 m² at the entrance — people already walk past.
Unit economics
Low entry. Short cycle. No payroll.
This is not a shop. You deploy a compact autonomous vending unit — Costa Express / Selecta logic, with a personalised product that sells all year.

Footprint vs revenue
1 m²
The unit fits a mall corridor, a station hall or an airside zone. No shop lease, no till, no shift roster.
Why operators choose PrintCase
This is not a royalty franchise — you buy and run your own machine. We are the direct channel to the factory.
Under 1 m², zero staff
Guests design a case in ~3 minutes. You do not hire a salesperson on site.
Full cloud control
Stock, faults and revenue in one dashboard. No daily site visit required.
Location = profit
Malls, airports, stations. The right footfall is priority one — not the cabinet colour.
Factory-direct
We represent the manufacturer and buy from the factory. Partner price is the best on the market — no middleman chain.
Quality the customer sees
Equipment, UV print and the cases themselves — a high standard. That is what sets a site apart from a cheap clone.
24/7 support
Not just analytics. Technical support at any time — launch, faults, consumables.
Worldwide
We operate worldwide. Start with one site in any country; add a second and third on the same dashboard.
Location first
Premium traffic is the non-negotiable
The machine is simple. The site is not. We open partnerships where people already queue: shopping centres, airports, rail and bus stations, hotel lobbies.
01
Shopping malls
Vending solutions for shopping malls: families, gifts, dwell time. Footprint <1 m², staff cost 0. The most stable conversion in the Baltic PrintCase network.
02
Airports
Airport automated retail: travellers want a photo souvenir. High ticket, short decision, international audience.
03
Stations & terminals
Transit flow 05:00–24:00. Under 1 m² sits in the hall — not in a shop lease.
04
Hotels & business hubs
Hotel lobby vending machines: lobby traffic all day. A guest amenity with no receptionist attached.
A weak site will not be saved by the hardware. A strong site turns PrintCase into a passive, scalable asset.
One product. One partnership model.
Printcase Express
Self-service kiosk: UV print on a phone case in ~3 minutes. Guests design themselves — no on-site staff.
What we expect from a partner
Clear criteria for an owner of their own site — not a royalty franchise contract.
- 1
Access to a premium site
Mall, airport, station or equivalent footfall. We help score it; the filter is people per day.
- 2
Operator in any country
A company or entrepreneur who can sign lease and supply contracts on their market — Europe, Middle East, Asia, the Americas.
- 3
Quality on site
A clean machine, quality cases, correct print. The customer sees the result, not a contract clause.
- 4
Operational ownership
Restock when the dashboard asks. No on-site employee required; accountability is.
