Any excuse for a good time.
The capsule reveal crowds queue for.
A giant gashapon machine is sampling made theatrical, Japanese-style. Retail campaigns, launches and activations load the capsules with samples, offers and merch, and every turn is a small moment of suspense that ends with your product in someone’s hand.
It is a natural fit for anime, gaming and collectable brands, and equally at home at parties, fetes and weddings as a capsule-favour moment guests remember.
Wrap it in your brand.
The cabinet wraps beautifully in campaign artwork, a photogenic centrepiece for in-store and shopping-centre promotions. We design and print every wrap in-house.
Custom wraps are quoted with your booking. We also print and build the rest of the activation, from floor decals and wall wraps to custom 3D pieces, all in-house. See what we produce. Get a free quote for your event or campaign.
