WM880 Custom Phone Case Vending Machine Price & Specs

The WM880 is Wider Matrix’s custom phone case vending machine: a cabinet that prints a customer’s photo onto a TPU + PC case on the spot, holds 1,020 to 1,025 blank cases, and takes coin, cash, card, NFC, or QR payment. It ships in two versions, F1080 at US$4,999 and i1600 at US$5,999 for 1 to 3 units, with tier pricing above that and consumables priced per case and per ink set so you can work out the margin before you commit. If the site is already yours, send the version, the quantity, and the destination, and the factory quotation comes back with lead time and shipping worked in.

The WM880 is Wider Matrix’s custom phone case vending machine. A customer walks up to the cabinet, scans the QR code on the screen, picks their phone model, uploads a photo, and pays. The machine prints the case and hands it over. You stock blank cases and ink, set the price in the app, and the cabinet runs itself.

Product information in this article is based on official materials from Wider Matrix WM880. Return-on-investment figures are for reference only. Actual results may vary depending on location, foot traffic, pricing strategy, and other operational factors.

It’s built for high-traffic spots where a one-off printed case is the impulse buy: malls, airports, campuses, tourist areas. The cabinet holds 1,020 to 1,025 blank cases depending on version, runs on 110V to 220V, and takes coins, cash, credit cards, NFC, and QR payments. If you’re comparing custom phone case vending machines for sale this quarter, the numbers below are the ones that decide it: print head, case capacity, consumable cost per unit, and price by quantity. A full review and buying walk-through is in the WM880 review and buyer’s guide.

WM880 Technical Specifications

Hard numbers first, because that’s what your install team and your accountant will ask for.

How a Customer Gets a Printed Case

From the customer’s side, four steps:

1. Scan the QR code on the machine screen.
2. Select the phone model: iPhone 16, iPhone 15, iPhone 11, and the rest of the supported range.
3. Upload a photo for printing. The machine uses AI-assisted positioning and prints edge to edge, with no white border.
4. Pay by coin, cash, credit card, NFC, or QR.

Your side of the routine is restocking. Blank cases go in with the back facing up, pushed in until they stop, and the load height stays below the red line marker inside the tray. The case structure is built for fast replenishment, which matters when the machine sits in a location you can only visit once a week. With 1,020 to 1,025 slots on board, most placements restock on a weekly or slower rhythm, and the app flags running slots if you fit the inventory identification module. Our article on the DIY phone case vending machine breaks down the print-on-demand model and where it works, if you want the wider picture.

Print Head Options: F1080, i1600, i3200

Three Epson UV heads fit the WM880, and the head you choose moves your running cost more than the sticker price does.

The upgrade path runs F1080 to i1600 to i3200, and every step is lossless. You buy the cabinet once and swap the head when volume or queue speed demands it. For an i1600 machine, the i3200 head costs US$680 (CNY 5,000). If UV printing on cases is new to you, our UV phone case printer guide covers choosing a head and running it in the field.

WM880 Custom Phone Case Vending Machine Pricing and Versions

The machine sells in two versions. Here is the full price sheet:

Prices from 4 units up are quoted per order. Send the quantity you’re planning and we’ll return the tier price. Two options apply to both versions: the inventory identification module adds US$200 (CNY 1,350), a camera fitted on top of the cabinet, and the i1600 machine upgrades to an i3200 head for US$680 (CNY 5,000).

Which version should you start on? For a busy location, the i1600. Head speed and head life decide how fast a queue prints through and how often you service the head, and the i1600 prints three times faster with four times the life of the F1080. The F1080 saves US$1,000 on day one and still runs the full product line, which makes sense for a first machine in a test location. For the complete cost picture, shipping included, see the phone case vending machine cost breakdown.

Consumables and Running Costs

Machine price is the easy part of the budget. This is the per-unit math.

Blank cases, TPU + PC composite, from the Wider Matrix factory:

Ink:

The machine carries 2,000 ml of ink on board, so ink spend per printed case stays low compared with what a custom case retails for. At US$1.10 to US$1.30 per standard blank, the case itself is a small fraction of the selling price in a mall or airport, and the magnetic version runs US$2.10 to US$2.30 over the same order range. Cases come in two lens cover options, and the supported list runs iPhone 16, iPhone 15, iPhone 11, plus Samsung, Google Pixel, Xiaomi, Huawei, and OPPO models, which covers most of the phones walking through your location. We worked out how much it costs to make a phone case end to end if you want the margins spelled out.

Remote Management on PC and Phone

Every WM880 connects to the Wider Matrix management system, which runs in a browser and on the phone app. The modules:

• Revenue statements with daily, weekly, and monthly charts
• Order history and status tracking
• Live machine status: printer operation, alarms, connectivity
• Promotion settings: discount rules, time windows, quantity limits
• Currency and language settings, plus basic machine configuration
• Inventory identification (optional module): real-time stock per slot

Language support includes English, Russian, French, Arabic, Korean, and others, and the currency module handles different markets without a firmware change. If you run more than one machine, the app is what keeps it manageable: sales, stock, and alarms on one screen, whether you’re checking from the office or walking the floor.

Certifications and Qualifications

CCC, CE, ISO, RoHS, and PSE for the Japanese market. Wider Matrix also holds 5+ independent R&D patents, including patents under KC, CE, and PSE, along with 30+ industry awards.

Where the WM880 Works

The cabinet is 1340 mm wide and 2,170 mm tall, so the placement needs a real footprint. The spots where it earns its keep:

• Malls and shopping centers, where foot traffic is steady and impulse buying works
• Airports and stations, where a printed case sells without a pitch
• University campuses, where a custom case is a standard purchase for the age group
• Tourist areas and attractions
• Office buildings and arcades

If the target is a mall, our operator guide on the phone case vending machine for malls lists what a location manager checks before signing. Traffic beats square footage: a machine in an airport corridor will out-earn a bigger cabinet in a food court nobody lingers in.

Why Operators Buy From Wider Matrix

You can find this machine class through resellers in a few markets, but the reseller moves the same cabinet, the same ink, and the same software. Buying from the factory changes the economics in practical ways:

• Factory tier pricing from US$4,999, with no middle layer added on
• An upgrade path designed in-house: a head swap to i3200 is US$680, not a new machine
• Cases and ink from the same factory, so versions match and supply holds up when the machine runs hard
• 7×24 human after-sales support, not a ticket queue
• Language and currency settings that ship with the firmware for different markets

Wider Matrix is the manufacturer of the WM880. The cabinet, the print head integration, the management system, and the consumables line are all under one roof, with 5+ independent R&D patents behind the machine. If you’re weighing a reseller listing against the source, that’s the gap.
