Tell your guard apart. Custom mouthguard and
gum shield cases
Custom cases so you can pick your own mouthguard out of a pile of identical ones. Your own artwork or name, printed in two colours.
Pick a style.
Why I made these.
Instant recognition
Your own art and colours, so you stop picking up a training partner's guard by accident.
Vented
Micro-perforations let the guard dry out between sessions instead of sitting damp in your bag.
Gym-proof
Tough polymer shell and recessed hinge survive being thrown in a kit bag.
Custom mouthguard cases for boxing, MMA, rugby.
Custom mouthguard cases by Ewan Wills are two-colour 3D-printed cases, made so you can tell your guard from everyone else's. You send artwork or text, I design the case around it and send you a 3D render to confirm before anything is printed. The shell is a tough polymer with a recessed hinge, and the vented micro-perforations let the guard dry out between sessions. They fit standard mouthguards, roughly 62 × 46 × 21 mm. £24 per unit with free UK delivery, and I'm happy to quote for gym or team batches.
Custom case vs generic case.
| Aspect | Custom case by Ewan Wills | Generic mouthguard case |
|---|---|---|
| Distinguishability | Personal art or logo, instantly recognisable | All look the same in a kit bag |
| Branding for gyms/teams | Yes (bulk-branded orders available) | Not without separate stickering |
| Drying / hygiene | Vented micro-perforations | Often sealed |
| Durability | Tough polymer, recessed hinge | Varies, many are thin moulded plastic |
| Price | £24 | ~£3–£10 |
| Best for | Athletes & gyms wanting branded, distinct cases | Anyone who only owns one mouthguard |
A generic case wins on price, and it's fine if you only own one mouthguard. Once you own two, or train somewhere everyone has the same one, telling them apart is the whole point.
Quick answers about custom cases.
- How much does a custom mouthguard case cost?
- £24 per unit, with free UK delivery. Bulk and team-branded orders are quoted separately, just ask.
- Can I get cases branded for my gym or team?
- Yes. Anything from a handful to hundreds. Use the form below and tell me roughly how many you need.
- What artwork works best?
- Cases print in two colours, so the artwork has to work in two colours. Fine detail can disappear, because the print nozzle is 0.4 mm. If I think your design will suffer, I'll say so before printing.
- Will my mouthguard fit?
- They fit standard mouthguards, roughly 62 × 46 × 21 mm. A custom-moulded guard might not. If you're not sure, put its dimensions in the form and I'll check.
- Is a gum shield case the same thing?
- Yes. Gum shield and mouthguard are two names for the same thing, and the case takes either, as long as it's a standard size.
- Do you make custom mouthguards?
- No, only the case. I don't make or fit the guard itself. If yours was moulded by a dentist or a lab, send me its dimensions through the form and I'll tell you whether it fits before you order.
- How long does an order take?
- I send you a 3D render first, and nothing is printed until you approve it. Printing and posting starts from your OK.
Your art, your case.
Attach an image and anything else I should know. Cases print in two colours, so make sure the design works that way. Fine detail can disappear (0.4 mm nozzle). I'll come back with a 3D render before anything is printed.
