toys for towers

[Vendition Ltd]

I have thousands of pounds of toy stock which I need to shift! The mainly consist of the small capsule stock which can fit inside a vending tower pot. I bought some empty pots from tubz vending and the tower sticker which say 'tubz vending toys'

Should I just put a random mix of toys in each line so smurfs/dinosaurs/toy story/mini malz so then it is more of a random vend on what you are going to get or should I actually label the machine with a description of what you are exactly going to receive on the toy line? If so can anyone recommend the software needed to produce the stickers for the machine

Cheers

Is it easy to use Steve?

Also what sticker do I need to buy for my printer

sorry not got it, did have a play some years ago making a brochure with adverts for something and it was a bugger for getting squared up and in the right place etc. To be fair the labels I have done for pots have been using powerpoint then copying onto the label template. If you have a look at AA labels they have free templates to download and think I bought 50mm round for lids

i would put a random toy with a small haribo bag in with them.

Get yourself a Zebra thermal label printer off ebay. I have a LP2824. Fantastic for the job, get some 50mm labels, I have red ones from Northern Labels, works out at about 0.69p per label, I bought 10,000 so should last me ages. and no ink for the printer as its thermal. Just make a word template to print. Also good for printing "property of", "Insert coins" labels etc. Looks professional. Another word of advice. It is good to try out toys in tubs and put in places reluctant to have another machine and 45mm bouncy balls with Haribo 10p bags sell very well, but if empty every time which most will be invest in a bulk toy machine. Far more profitable.

where do you buy you balls and Haribo bags from?

Thanks
