empowerdls Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Just starting out and trying to decide which size box to get. The "100" item boxes or the smaller style. Is there a distinct advantage between one or the other? For those who use the smaller versions, what's the typical amount of product you can place in one? Curious to know which you use and why or do you use a mixture depending on the account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis23 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I have heard pros and cons on which way to go. Heard a new snack box operator that has lower than normal sales and the only thing that I can tell is that he is using some smaller boxes. With out a good variety sales will be lower.

dogcow Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 i like the smaller boxes, they fit 30-40 items depeding on the mix you use, if you need more u can punch holes and ziptie them together. I found a lot of break rooms just dont have enough room for the bigger boxes. also it reduces your spoilage if the loc is a dud. you can always upgrade but you cant really downgrade.

empowerdls Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 dogcow....when putting two boxes together, do you think its best to leave both money slots open for drops or would it be better to cover one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 i cover one up remember the coin access door will be blocked by the other box anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loach33 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 http://www.cameronpa...snackboxes.html Dogcow - I assume you add your own graphics to these boxes? Do you just print it out on paper and attach it to the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcow Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Dogcow - I assume you add your own graphics to these boxes? Do you just print it out on paper and attach it to the box? yup sure did, i take the extra cardboard from sams club to make the back stops you need it because the product will cover up the coin slot so its not easily visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 We like the small ones too. We find they can put more money in the smaller boxes. Also as dogcow said you can easily put two side by side in seperate areas of the breakroom. They do well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Dogcow - I assume you add your own graphics to these boxes? Do you just print it out on paper and attach it to the box? I don't have anywhere near the honor-box locations dogcow does, but I'll offer my 2cents anyway I use the same boxes (plain white) and make custom signs for pricing, logos, contact info, etc using shipping labels from Office Depot...though you can buy them from anywhere that sells office supplies. The labels come in many different sizes and a few different colors so you can use what suits you best. No matter the size of label you choose, the backing will come on a std sized sheet (8.5" x 11") that you can feed into your printer. They look really good and you are limited by only your capabilities on the computer. I'm no graphics wiz and I had no problem creating clean but eye-catching stickers for my boxes with just the regular white shipping labels.
