General Product Description
Japanese Purikura Machines | Photo Sticker Booths are extremely popular products that do very well in young female markets.They allow you take group photos (usually 6 - 12 photos with up to 8people) which you can then edit for fun in the exterior editing stations with stamps, makeup, frames, backgrounds, pens, sparkles etc.etc.  then you pick your favorite photos and how you want them to be displayed for printing. Afterwords, the photos are printed on sticker paper which is cut up and shared among friends and stuck on to objects such as cell phones, key chains, or bags and into diaries,photo albums etc.  Each machine is unique in its technology, interior design, and external editing capabilities making each experience unique and fun. The quality of the photos, the options, the fun, and the technology of these machines is far more advanced then anything we've seen in America and blows away booths made in China.

About Purikura Photo Sticker Machines
Purikura Booth Photo sticker Machines are perfect for arcades, malls, universities, movie theaters, bowling allies, tea shops, yogurt shops, theme parks etc. etc. OR open a store in a young busy area with lots of foot traffic from teenage girls and you CANNOT go wrong, in fact you might become crazy rich. Most newer machines have2 editing stations which means high volume sales! If you place these in new markets you can charge good prices and have a high margin. Machines also do well in areas with Asian demographics. A high percentage of young asians (especially japanese) will know what the machines are and have used them before in their home country.  Any neighborhood with a large Asian demographic will do well.

About the Purikura Industry
Originally these were developed and spread through Japan like a Craze in the mid 1990's.However Purikura is not small business nor did it fizzle out.  In 2005,in Japan alone they made over 450 million dollars in sales and the popularity of the machines has extended full scale in Taiwan, Phillipines, Singapore,Thailand,Malaysia, Indonesia,China, Korea, Australia etc. etc. Purikura Photo booths can even be found in France, London, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York etc.  In Japan Purikura machines are the staple amusement product and arcades cannot survive without them.  They pull in an average of over $20,000 a year each which makes them the top performers. In second place would be crane machines at $16,000.  $20,000 in a market that is fully saturated and has low margins is incredible. In your home country or state your margin will be much larger and your machine more lucrative.

Japanese Arcade Machines
We also sell and export Japanese Arcade machines which perfectly complement the Purikura Machines. We can get any model you want and they fill up extra space in the shipping containers nicely. We suggest every store to have at least 1 or 2 arcade machines.  They act as distractions for male customers who may not want to take a lot of photos. This allows the girls to have fun and take more photos.  Arcade machines, Prize Machines and Purikura Machines are the typical setup for any amusement center.
