A custom phone stand is a small desk or travel accessory that holds a phone upright for video calls, reading or charging, branded with your logo. Singapore companies typically choose aluminium or metal stands for staff and client desk gifts, wooden holders for eco-minded brands, and ring holders or airbag grips for low-cost, high-volume event giveaways.
Phones are part of almost every working day, from checking messages to joining calls. A phone stand or phone holder keeps the device at a comfortable angle and keeps your logo on the desk. Our phone stands collection covers desk stands, foldable stands, ring holders, grips and stands with wireless charging. This guide explains the main types, which logo methods suit each material, and how to match the item to your audience.
Types of Custom Phone Stand and Holder
Aluminium and metal desk stands
Metal stands feel solid and look tidy in an office. The aluminium alloy phone and tablet holder is listed at about 10 x 7 x 8cm in silver, gold, pink and black, with UV or screen printing or laser engraving. The 360° rotating phone stand is listed in metal, at about 10.5 x 9cm, with laser engraving, and a wood-grain metal rotating stand comes in gold or silver. Rotating stands are useful for switching between portrait and landscape during calls.
Wooden phone holders
The wood-grain phone holder is listed in beech wood, in sizes of about 8 x 6 x 2cm, 8 x 8 x 2cm and 13.5 x 8 x 2cm, all customisable, with laser engraving or printing. A laser-engraved logo on wood gives a warm, natural mark that suits sustainability themes.
Foldable and travel stands
For people who move between office, home and client sites, a foldable stand packs flat. Options include a foldable and adjustable tablet and phone stand in ABS (about 14 x 9.1cm), an ultra-thin folding holder in zinc alloy listed at about 7g, a lightweight folding stand in a choice of bright colours, and a laptop magnetic phone holder that attaches beside a laptop screen.
Ring holders, grips and back-stick holders
Ring holders and grips stick to the back of a phone and double as a small stand. The range includes a transparent ring holder, ring holders shaped like a rabbit, butterfly or elephant, and an acrylic phone holder that can be cut to a custom shape. The colourful airbag telescopic grip is listed at about 4 x 4 x 1cm, with custom mould or printing options. A back-stick holder with a card slot is also available.
Stands with charging and car holders
For a higher-value tech gift, the range includes a magnetic 3-in-1 wireless charging stand, an upright phone charging dock and a wooden clock with wireless charging; check device compatibility on each product page. For drivers, a 4-in-1 alloy phone holder with a parking number plate is listed with laser engraving. In a statement dated 4 March 2026, the Ministry of Home Affairs noted that it is an offence for a driver to hold a mobile communication device and use it while the vehicle is moving, and that a display unit must not be fitted in a way that poses a safety hazard or causes distraction.[1]

How to Choose a Custom Phone Stand by Use Case
Staff desk and onboarding gifts
A metal or wooden stand is practical from day one and looks professional on a desk. Pair it with a mouse pad for a simple desk set; our guide to the custom mouse pad in Singapore covers the options, and our employee onboarding gifts guide has more kit ideas.
Conferences and seminars
A foldable stand is light enough for a delegate bag and useful for watching sessions or joining calls on the go.
Events and roadshows
Ring holders and airbag grips suit large giveaways because they are compact and colourful. Custom shapes help a brand or mascot stand out. See our guide to event door gifts in Singapore for planning tips.
Client gifts
A laser-engraved aluminium or rotating metal stand, or a wireless charging stand, makes a more substantial gift for clients and partners.
Logo Area and Branding Methods
Laser engraving is the most common method listed for metal and wooden stands. It etches the logo into the surface, so it does not peel and suits single-colour logos. UV or screen printing is listed for plastic stands, ring holders and some aluminium models, and is the better choice for brand colours. Airbag grips and acrylic holders can be made with a custom mould or cut shape for a fully branded look. The logo area on a phone stand is small, usually on the base or the back plate, so keep artwork simple and bold. For more detail on each technique, see our guide to logo printing methods for corporate gifts.
- Decide whether the stand is for desk use, travel or on the phone itself.
- Choose the material to match your brand: metal, wood or colourful plastic.
- Confirm the logo position and send vector artwork.
- For charging stands, check compatibility with the phones your recipients use.
- Share your quantity and date early, especially for custom shapes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a phone stand and a phone holder?
A phone stand usually sits on a desk and holds the phone upright for calls, reading or charging. A phone holder can mean the same thing, but it also covers items attached to the phone itself, such as ring holders and airbag grips, or holders used in a car. Both can carry a custom logo.
Which logo method works best on a custom phone stand?
Laser engraving is listed for most metal and wooden stands and gives a clean, permanent mark that will not peel. For plastic stands, ring holders and colourful designs, UV or screen printing is listed and shows brand colours better. Send your logo and preferred model, and we will confirm the most suitable method.
Can a phone grip or holder be made in a custom shape?
Yes, some can. The airbag telescopic grip lists custom mould options, and the acrylic phone holder lists custom-made shapes. These suit mascots, product shapes or festive themes. Custom shapes may affect the quote and production time, so include your design idea and quantity when you request a quote.
Are phone stands good gifts for hybrid workers?
Yes. A foldable or lightweight stand is easy to carry between home and office and helps with video calls and reading. Singapore Standard SS 514:2016, the Code of practice for office ergonomics, also covers ergonomics for mobile devices, smartphones and tablets.[2] Wooden or metal desk stands suit a fixed workspace. For a fuller kit, combine a stand with a mouse pad, notebook or cable organiser.
Do wireless charging phone stands work with all phones?
Not always. Wireless charging depends on whether the phone supports it and how it is positioned on the stand. Check the compatibility details on each product page, and tell us which phones your recipients mainly use, so we can suggest a suitable model.
