For a distributor or multi-site operator in Korea, equipment is bought by the container, not the cabinet. The fit-out below shows that scale: a large arcade floor being commissioned, with machines placed and some units still plastic-wrapped before opening. It is the kind of wholesale project Arcade Craft Studio supplies factory-direct.
What does this Korean distributor fit-out include?
This Korean floor is a full commercial fit-out mid-commissioning: air-hockey tables, kiddie shooter and ride cabinets, and redemption machines arranged across a checkerboard floor, with several units still wrapped from shipping. The scale and the wrapping point to a single bulk order being installed at once, rather than machines added piece by piece.
A container mix for a distributor typically spans a few machine categories:
| Category | Why it goes in the container |
|---|---|
| Air-hockey & sports arcade | Reliable two-player earners with low maintenance |
| Kiddie shooters & rides | Younger-audience draw for family floors |
| Redemption / ticket games | Repeat play through tickets and prizes |
| Claw & prize machines | Impulse revenue with controllable prize cost |
Buying a floor as one order is what keeps a distributor’s unit economics working: consistent hardware, one shipment, one set of documentation, and one after-sales relationship instead of many.
Why distributors buy factory-direct and by the container
Distributors and chain operators buy factory-direct to protect margin and control specification. Going straight to the manufacturer removes the trading markup, allows OEM and branding options, and lets one container carry a matched mix of machines — which lowers per-unit freight and simplifies installation and spares.
The trade-off is that volume orders reward preparation. The clearer the machine list, floor plan and timeline, the tighter the price and the schedule a factory can commit to.

What distributors should confirm before a container order
Nail these down before requesting a wholesale quote — they drive both price and lead time:
- Machine list and quantities, or the floor area and audience if you want a recommended mix.
- Container size and whether one or multiple loads are planned.
- OEM or branding requirements, and any software or content customisation.
- Destination power standard and any local compliance to confirm.
- Installation timeline and target opening dates across sites.
- Spares and after-sales expectations for the fleet.
