How to Send Your Photo for a Custom Phone Cover in Lusaka

You have your photo. You have your phone model. Now you want to know how to turn that into a finished custom phone cover. This is the practical guide to sending your image correctly and understanding what happens next at The Custom ZM in Lusaka.

What to Send

Send your image directly as a file attachment in a WhatsApp message to +260574638038. Not a screenshot of the photo — the actual original photo file. WhatsApp compresses images when sent as regular messages, but it preserves quality when sent as a document. If possible, send your photo as a document rather than an image message.

Include your exact phone model in the same message. For example: "Samsung Galaxy A54 5G" or "iPhone 14 Plus" or "Tecno Spark 20 Pro."

What Resolution Do You Need?

For a phone case back (which is roughly 7 to 8 centimetres wide and 14 to 16 centimetres tall), an image of at least 1500 pixels on the shortest side will print clearly. Most smartphone photos are well above this threshold.

If you have a photo from a professional photographer, use the full-resolution file they provided. If you have a photo from your own phone's camera gallery, use the original — not a compressed version shared over social media.

After You Send

We receive your image, assess the resolution and quality, and confirm whether it will print well. For the vast majority of images, it will. We then generate a layout preview showing how your image will be positioned and sized on the phone case back.

You review the preview and either approve or request adjustments. Adjustments are free and part of the process.
