Other Considerations When Buying Custom Phone Wallets
It’s almost time to start your order of custom phone wallets. Before you get going, here are a few other things to think about!
Adhesive
Each phone wallet will have an adhesive on the back. This adhesive will eventually lose its stickiness, but it’s easy to find replacements at retail stores like Walmart or Target.
Number of Pockets
For the most part, customizable phone wallets will comfortably hold 1 to 2 cards, or a small wad of cash. However, you can also find phone wallets with two, three, or even four pockets if you want to offer more space.
Minimum
The minimum quantity for bulk phone wallets is anywhere from 40 to 400 in an order. The average quantity is about 100, so be ready to store or give away that amount.
Price
Phone wallets are cheap promotional items for any event. There are even sticky phone card holders that start at under $1 each. Browse for a price that works for you!
The Bottom Line
Americans check their phones an average of 96 times per day. That’s at least 4 times every hour! Your brand will be visible all the time if you print your logo on custom phone wallets.
