mainor5251 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 The acrylic boxes are more but when several of your accounts are emptying out in 5 or 6 days it's worth it to me. And I did have one Cameron cardboard box out and after switching to an acrylic box sales increased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loach33 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 MIne look very nice. I put laminated signage affixed to the inside of the cash box. Made in photoshop for a custom fit to make it look professional. Sure, if you putting a cardboard box on a counter with a handwritten sign I can totally see that finding its way into the trash. Or, most likely, the owner gets tired of seeing a shabby looking box right up front for the customers to judge his business and he tells you to remove it. Now, on the other hand a nice box that will last for years with a professional sign on it. No one complains about the looks of that, including the owner. You know how people are more likely to buy from a clean and newer looking vending machine? Same theory applies. Excited to see my new boxes on the way. Walk into a business with one of these and it's easy pickings on placing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvending Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Try this, place an acrylic box and a cardboard box side by side on the counter and see which stays longer, and does more sales. I think this a no-brained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this a no-brained. Or you can try this instead: Place an acrylic box and a cardboard box on the counter and then place 9 other cardboard boxes in 9 different locations. Then see which does more sales and which provides income for a longer period. You can buy almost 10 cardboard honor boxes for the price of one acrylic box.

Harvending Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That is a good point, as a matter of fact I am trying that exact thing. I have placed 20 cardboard in lower sales locations. Will see results. But I believe acrylics are best in restaurant locations and cardboard for other. I think results will be cardboard will work fine with non-restaurant locations. Glad to get your thoughts on this. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that and will probably start with acrylic due to me only needing a handful to start with, BUT isn't that almost the same idea of using cheaper bulk vending equipment to get more out? I am planning on doing that possibly though. Just to get the locations. Then as I find out who is going to have volume, put in an acrylic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's different on a variety of levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer to the ones sheridan used to offer - the slanted top box. I have not seen a sample yet as I need to order at least 20 to get started. A few people have expressed interest. If you're interested send me a PM These will be more expensive than Sheridan's. But if I can order 100 at a time they will be comparable....about 15% more expensive. But I know they will be of much better quality. Therefore lasting a lot longer in the long run. If you're interested in the trial run - even ordering 5-10 to see - let me know. hi do you sill have any of your custom honor boxes would like to get some ?
