Built to Last. Easy to Service.
Buying factory-direct shouldn’t mean worrying about repairs. Our machines are designed with standardized, industry-approved components that any qualified local vending technician can service.
Turn trading-card demand into a modern automated retail business with the Optic Vending 22” Touchscreen Trading Card Vending Machine. Our high-capacity trading-card vending platform designed specifically for operators who want to maximize the number of card packs available inside each machine.
Featuring a 22” interactive touchscreen, up to approximately 1,500-pack capacity, 60 product aisles, specialized 13mm trading-card coils, Nayax VPOS Touch cashless payments, and smart remote management, this machine is purpose-built for high-volume trading-card pack vending.
Unlike our 22” Elevator Trading Card Vending Machine, this model does not use an elevator-assisted delivery system.
Instead, it utilizes a streamlined spiral-coil dispensing platform optimized specifically for card packs.
That simpler configuration allows the interior of the machine to remain dedicated to one goal:
If your business model focuses primarily on individual TCG and sports-card packs rather than boxes, bundles, or larger collectibles, this is the machine built for you.
This machine is not a general-purpose retail vending machine with trading cards added afterward.
It is configured specifically around card-pack vending.
The internal layout utilizes specialized 13 mm trading-card coils designed to accommodate thin packaged card products more effectively than the larger spirals commonly found in traditional snack vending equipment.
Ideal products include:
The focus of this machine is packs.
For operators wanting to vend larger products such as booster bundles, ETBs, booster boxes, tins, graded slabs, or other oversized collectibles, our 22” Touchscreen Elevator Trading Card Vending Machine provides a more customizable mixed-product platform.
The standard 22” Touchscreen Trading Card Vending Machine is intentionally optimized for operators who want to dedicate their machine to high-volume pack sales.
Capacity is the defining advantage of this model.
Depending on the exact dimensions and packaging of the products being stocked, the machine can accommodate up to approximately 1,500 card packs.
That gives operators the ability to carry substantial inventory while offering a wide variety of sets, brands, price points, and collectible categories.
A high-capacity configuration can help:
For operators targeting busy locations, greater inventory capacity can be especially valuable during weekends, new releases, holidays, and other periods of increased collector demand.
The standard machine configuration provides:
This gives operators significant flexibility when deciding how much space to dedicate to individual products.
For example:
Dedicate multiple aisles to your strongest sellers so the machine can hold more inventory before requiring a restock.
Reserve highly visible product positions for newly released sets while demand is strongest.
Create dedicated sections for higher-value or specialty pack products.
Use selected aisles for football, basketball, baseball, soccer, or other sports-card products.
Divide the machine among different collectible card games and sets.
You control how the inventory is allocated.
Collectors want variety.
With 60 individual product aisles, operators can create an assortment that encourages customers to browse rather than simply purchasing one predetermined product.
Your machine could include:
Some products may receive a single aisle.
Your strongest sellers may receive several.
The machine can be continuously reorganized as collector demand changes.
The 22” Touchscreen Trading Card Vending Machine has a very specific purpose.
It is designed to maximize card-pack inventory.
It is not intended to be the best choice for:
Those products consume substantially more internal space and may require wider lanes, pushers, or specialized delivery configurations.
By eliminating those larger product requirements, this machine can dedicate significantly more of its internal capacity to individual packs.
For businesses built primarily around booster-pack and card-pack sales, that can mean substantially more sellable inventory in each location.
Our elevator trading-card machine is designed for versatility and controlled delivery of multiple product sizes.
This machine takes a different approach.
By using direct spiral-coil dispensing without an elevator retrieval system, the internal platform can remain focused on high-capacity pack vending.
That makes the two 22” models ideal for different operators:
Best for: Maximum card-pack capacity
Primary Products: TCG and sports-card packs
Delivery: Spiral coil
Capacity Focus: Maximum inventory
Ideal Operator: Pack-focused trading-card vending
Best for: Mixed collectible merchandise
Primary Products: Packs, bundles, ETBs, boxes, and other compatible products
Delivery: Configurable dispensing + elevator-assisted retrieval
Capacity Focus: Product versatility
Ideal Operator: Premium mixed-product collectible vending
Neither platform is intended to replace the other.
The right machine depends on what you want to sell.
Traditional snack vending coils are not designed around thin booster packs.
Optic Vending trading-card machines utilize 13 mm coils specifically for improved card-pack vending performance.
Proper coil sizing helps the product advance through the lane while maintaining the high-density configuration that makes this machine attractive to trading-card operators.
This specialized setup provides a strong combination of:
Before production, we recommend providing information about the primary card-pack products you intend to vend so your configuration can be reviewed appropriately.
The machine uses a straightforward spiral-spring vending system.
When a customer purchases a pack, the appropriate motor rotates the assigned spiral and advances the product until it is released into the customer retrieval area.
This proven vending technology offers several advantages for a pack-focused machine:
For operators whose primary goal is selling large quantities of card packs, simplicity can be an advantage.
Customers interact with the machine through a 22” Infrared Multitouch Display.
The large digital interface creates a modern retail experience while giving operators a more professional presentation than traditional keypad vending.
Customers can browse available products, make their selection, and complete the purchasing process through an intuitive touchscreen interface.
For a trading-card business, the digital screen also helps transform the machine into something closer to an automated card shop rather than a conventional vending machine.
Trading cards are highly visual products.
Sets, artwork, brands, releases, and rarity all influence purchasing decisions.
A touchscreen vending platform gives operators an opportunity to create a more engaging retail experience around those products.
Instead of simply looking through a glass cabinet and entering a number, customers interact with a digital storefront.
Combined with a professionally designed exterior wrap, the machine can become a recognizable destination for collectors.
This machine is especially well suited for operators whose model revolves around repeat pack purchases.
Trading-card packs offer several advantages for automated retail:
Because the machine can carry a substantial quantity of packs, operators can create a deep inventory without dedicating a full retail storefront to the business.
Automated retail allows operators to bring trading-card products directly into high-traffic environments rather than waiting for customers to visit a traditional hobby store.
Potential placement opportunities include:
The right placement can combine convenience, collector demand, and impulse purchasing in one location.
Different locations may support different card assortments.
Stock a broad mix of popular TCG releases, premium packs, and recognizable products.
Offer a deeper selection of TCG sets and enthusiast-focused products.
Focus on recognizable, accessible card packs across several price points.
Combine TCG inventory with football, basketball, baseball, and other sports-card packs.
Offer current releases, mainstream sets, and impulse-friendly products.
You can use the same machine platform while tailoring inventory to the customers at each location.
The machine comes equipped with the Nayax VPOS Touch credit card reader, creating a convenient modern purchasing experience.
Supported payment options can include:
Cashless vending also removes many of the maintenance and operational issues associated with traditional bill and coin systems.
Operators can avoid routinely dealing with:
For collectible products that may carry higher transaction values than traditional snacks, cashless purchasing provides customers with a familiar and convenient checkout experience.
Know what's happening at your machine without physically visiting the location just to check inventory.
Optic Vending's smart vending software allows operators to remotely monitor important machine information.
This can help provide visibility into:
For a high-capacity machine carrying numerous sets and SKUs, remote inventory visibility becomes especially useful.
You can determine which products are selling before you arrive to restock.
Trading-card demand changes constantly.
New releases arrive.
Certain sets become more popular.
Specific products sell faster at one location than another.
Smart sales data can help you respond to those changes.
Operators can use performance information to:
Instead of guessing what each location wants, allow actual customer purchasing behavior to guide your inventory strategy.
The 60-aisle configuration gives operators another important advantage:
You don't need to dedicate the same amount of inventory space to every SKU.
If one set consistently outsells another, allocate multiple aisles to it.
For example:
Top Sellers: 20 aisles
New Releases: 20 aisles
Premium Sets: 10 aisles
Slower Sellers: 10 aisles
This lets you use the physical capacity of the machine more intelligently.
As demand changes, aisle allocation can change with it.
Your trading-card vending machine should represent your business.
Every machine can include a FREE custom exterior wrap, transforming the equipment into a branded automated retail storefront.
Your wrap can feature:
Once your machine configuration is finalized, Optic Vending provides the appropriate machine wrap template.
If you already work with a professional graphic designer, they can create the artwork using the supplied template and send the production-ready files back to us.
If you would prefer for the artwork to be created for you, ask us about our in-house custom graphic design service.
Custom branding becomes even more valuable as your business expands.
Imagine customers seeing the same recognizable vending concept across:
Each machine becomes both a sales location and a physical advertisement for your business.
Consistent branding can help turn individual vending placements into a recognizable automated retail network.
The 22” Touchscreen Trading Card Vending Machine works equally well for a new operator testing a first location or an established company deploying multiple machines.
The high-capacity format can be especially attractive when scaling because operators can carry substantial inventory at each location.
As you expand, each machine can have its own assortment.
For example:
Machine 1 — Mall
Broad TCG mix and current releases.
Machine 2 — Sports Complex
TCG products plus sports-card packs.
Machine 3 — Gaming Venue
Enthusiast-focused sets and specialty products.
Machine 4 — Entertainment Center
Mainstream packs and impulse-focused selections.
The machine stays consistent.
The inventory adapts.
The machine supports:
Multiple connectivity options provide flexibility across different commercial installations.
Reliable connectivity is important for payment processing, remote management, transaction reporting, and smart vending functionality.
