Automatic Blind Box Vending Machine for Sale

Imagine a regular vending machine that sells sodas or chips. You press a button, and you know exactly what you’re going to get. An automatic blind box vending machine is completely different. It’s a special kind of vending machine that sells “blind boxes,” which are small, sealed packages that you can’t see inside. When you buy one, you don’t know what’s inside until you open it. It’s like a surprise gift you buy from a machine!

How Does It Work?

The operating process of a mystery blind box vending machine is very simple and typically goes like this:

1. Selection and Payment:

The consumer stands in front of the machine and selects the product line they want to purchase using a touchscreen or physical buttons.

The machine displays the price (usually a fixed price, such as 39 yuan or 59 yuan, but it can also be a random price).

The consumer completes payment via cash or mobile payment (WeChat, Alipay, etc.).

2. Random Delivery:

After successful payment, the consumer can press the “Deliver” button or the system will automatically trigger the delivery.

The machine’s robotic arm or conveyor system will then begin to work, randomly picking up a blind box from the inventory.

This “randomness” is the core experience; consumers have no idea which model they will receive before purchasing.

3. Pickup:

The selected blind box will drop through a delivery port into a pickup area.

The consumer picks up their “spoils” from the pickup area, completing the purchase process.
