We’ve done all the work for you, including sourcing machines and (crucially!) retrofitting them to vend zines. After five years in development, we’ve thought of everything: our rental package lets you start selling zines on day one. We’ve market-tested our machines and can share sales averages, tips, & tricks. Most of all, we love indie bookstores & small businesses and we want to help you make money with our Zine Machines!

The Gen 2 Mini Zine Machine stands about 18” high with an 8”×8” footprint, perfect for a checkout counter. It has a max capacity of 75 zines.

Yes! As long as they fit the size specifications, you can vend zines of your own choosing. Retailers can also purchase zines from Zine Machine at a wholesale rate.

We provide vending tokens customized for our machines, which are sold from your POS at the price YOU set.

Our rental package includes everything you need to vend zines immediately:

• Mini vending machine, specially customized to vend zines

• Branded vending tokens

• “Starter pack” of Zine Machine zines

• Cardboard vending sleeves (reusable/recyclable)

• Co-branded signage and displays for your business.

• A ZM handbook with tips, tricks, & ideas for engagement

We provide a live training session as part of our onboarding process. We also provide a reference handbook with specs and usage information.

We are available for troubleshooting calls and will replace or repair faulty equipment if necessary.

Zine Machine rental packages start at $50/mo. Setup fee and refundable damage deposit not included. Please reach us through the waitlist form for more information on packages and pricing.
