01
Packaged Beauty Products Only
This category starts with vending sealed, packaged beauty and personal-care products. On-site mixing and pay-per-spray fragrance dispensing are different operating routes and are not assumed features of a packaged-product machine. If the project includes fragrance sprays as well as packaged goods, keep those requirements separate. Packaged-product vending and on-site mixing or pay-per-spray each keep their own handling method and evidence.
Cosmetic Vending Restocking Checklist — Plan cosmetic vending replenishment with compartment records, stock rotation, product checks, exception handling and refill access.
Pay-Per-Spray Perfume & Cologne Vending Machines — Use the pay-per-spray route for mounting, refill and payment when the project dispenses fragrance sprays instead of sealed packaged goods.
02
Build a SKU-to-Dispenser Fit List
Build a product list using the final retail packaging. Record dimensions, weight, shape, rigidity and any protruding cap, handle or hanging tab. Identify the products that are most difficult to release or collect, not just the items expected to sell most frequently. Ask our engineering team to match each sample to a proposed channel, tray or compartment and document the setup. Packaging changes should trigger a fresh fit check instead of being treated as interchangeable with the original sample.
This matrix is the purchase-preparation record for bottles, boxes and soft pouches, with fragrance spraying and on-site mixing kept on separate routes. The product-fit checklist records each format’s release, packaging condition and storage requirements. The restocking checklist records the compartment and the person who refills. The sample inspection on the named configuration completes that fit review.
Cosmetic Vending Product Fit Checklist — Assess cosmetic vending bottles, cartons, tubes and pouches for fit, release, packaging condition and the product’s storage requirements.
Cosmetic Vending Restocking Checklist — Use the compartment record and the named refill owner when a fitted SKU moves into replenishment.
Pay-Per-Spray Perfume & Cologne Vending Machines — Use the pay-per-spray route when fragrance spraying is in the project, including mounting, refill and the customer payment sequence.
03
Fragile Goods & Storage Requirements
Identify fragile containers and record the storage conditions specified for each product. Ask how the proposed machine protects the product through its delivery path and how the installation will address relevant light or environmental exposure. If cooling or another environmental feature is proposed, obtain model-specific evidence and clarify its limits. We agree product-handling and storage checks using the selected assortment and machine configuration.

04
Retail Placement & Stock Rotation
Describe the retail location, access hours and the person responsible for replenishment. The operator also needs a way to identify empty selections and prevent displayed descriptions from becoming inconsistent with the loaded products. For a pilot, record replenishment visits and the reasons products are removed or unavailable. Merchandise management stays with the retailer: replenishment visits, empty selections and descriptions that match the loaded products.

05
Branding, Payment & Scope of Supply
Separate the machine graphics from the brands and images used to sell the products. Confirm who holds the necessary permissions for each. Permission to sell or license the merchandise is confirmed by the party who holds those rights. State the required display language and payment route. Confirm local merchant onboarding and the handling of failed deliveries.
Supply and fit for a packaged cabinet stay with the named configuration and the SKU sample. Temperature control is included only when that configuration names it. Release is confirmed on that SKU sample, and stocking frequency follows that assortment and the site’s operating observations.
Name the packaged SKUs and keep fragrance spraying or on-site mixing on a separate route, then send the retail site, package dimensions and weight, fragility and storage notes, quantity and replenishment staff for the configuration review.
06
Discuss Your Product Packaging on WhatsApp
Start with a written product list, package dimensions, intended site and country, approximate quantity and purchasing window. Identify fragile products, special storage requirements and the staff who will replenish the cabinet. These inputs help determine which samples should be assessed first. Do not treat submission of a product list as a successful compatibility test; the proposed equipment and final packaging still need to be reviewed together.
Frequently asked questions
Does a packaged cosmetic machine spray fragrance or mix on site by default?
No. This category starts with sealed, packaged beauty and personal-care products. On-site mixing and pay-per-spray fragrance dispensing are different operating routes and are not assumed features of a packaged-product machine. If the project includes fragrance sprays as well as packaged goods, keep those requirements separate so each route keeps its own handling method and evidence.
Are glass bottles guaranteed to be delivered without breakage?
No. Identify fragile containers and record the storage conditions specified for each product. Ask how the proposed machine protects the product through its delivery path, then test loading, release and collection with the actual packaging and inspect the products after repeated cycles. The product-fit checklist records delivery condition from that inspection, and a result for a rigid carton stays with that carton rather than extending to an unboxed bottle.
Does a brand graphic on the cabinet mean the merchandise is authorized?
No. Separate the machine graphics from the brands and images used to sell the products, and confirm who holds the necessary permissions for each. Permission to sell or license the merchandise is confirmed by the party who holds those rights. On the product-fit checklist, permission to sell a brand or reproduce its artwork comes from the rights holder.
