Concept
The concept was to have Disposable Camera Vending Machines placed at venues where people wanted to capture fond memories but had forgotten to take their camera or was afraid their expensive camera could be lost or stolen. The venues would be; Churches for Weddings, Christenings, etc., Hotels, Pubs and Clubs for Parties, Receptions, etc., Hospitals for Births, Theme Parks and Resorts etc.
Develop
A robustly constructed weatherproof and reliable vending unit capable of issuing disposable Cameras and taking and securely holding bank notes. The case was designed to accept the customer’s artwork for point of sale advertising. Therefore the key aspects of this product were security, reliability, weatherproofing and aesthetic design.

Testimonial
The guys at TekPro were extremely helpful in developing the equipment that I needed to capture the interest of a major Camera company and clearly demonstrated their attention to detail. Honesty and confidentiality was a major factor in my relationship with this company and they never let me down.
