Surprise capsule machine hire

The surprise capsule dispenser that fits on a table

Our surprise capsule machine is a compact capsule dispenser that fits anywhere: on a table, on a counter or on our stand. Guests turn the handle and out comes a 9 cm capsule with a gift inside. It is ideal for weddings, welcome desks, shops and small stands.

A compact surprise capsule dispenser

It is the little sister of our giant gumball machine. It measures 82 × 50 × 50 cm and weighs just 7 kg without its stand, with a 500 or 550 mm globe. It goes wherever you need it:

  • on a table or counter;
  • on our stand, which adds about 105 cm in height and brings it to eye level;
  • on your own plinth, if your stand design already has one.

Thanks to its size, it fits where a big machine will not: registration areas, gift tables, receptions or shop windows.

How the surprise capsule machine works

Turn the handle on the front and a capsule drops out. No coins or tokens, and no skill needed: everyone gets their surprise. Each go takes a few seconds, so queues do not build up.

It takes 90 mm (9 cm) capsules and holds about 50 at a time. If you expect a crowd, prepare spare capsules and top it up as you go: it only takes a moment.

What to put in the surprise capsules

A 9 cm capsule holds more than you might think:

  • At weddings: a favour for each guest, a note from the couple, a table number or a dance-floor dare.
  • In shops: discount vouchers, samples or tickets for a bigger prize.
  • At companies: welcome gifts, draws or messages for an internal event.
  • At trade shows: small branded merchandise such as pins or keyrings.

A branded surprise capsule dispenser

You can brand just the stand, the most visible surface, or the whole machine. Wrapped with your logo or the couple’s names, the machine becomes part of the decor. We need your artwork about two weeks before the event. See our branding page.

Where to put the surprise capsule machine

  • At the entrance or registration desk: each guest takes a capsule on arrival, which can hold a table number or a voucher.
  • On the gift table at a wedding, as a favour for the guests.
  • On a shop counter, next to the till, to reward every purchase.
  • On a small stand, where a claw machine will not fit but you still want a fun way to hand out merchandise.
  • In a shop window, on our stand, to catch the eye from the street.

If you expect a crowd or want more presence, step up to the giant version, about 180 cm tall with 250 capsules.

Several surprise capsule machines at once

We have more than 20 units. You can put one on every table at a reception, several on the counters of a store chain, or pair it with the claw machine on a stand. We deliver it, leave it running and support you by phone or video call during the event.
