Chip, that's a good idea. However, I'm telling ya, I use the Large 16x16 sandwhich bags, & they work great.

That's a big sandwich.

I ordered a 19 shelf magazine assembly this morning to give one a try. My vending person has been a having a hard time squeezing in the thick towels we vend into the 24 shelf vendor. I’ll be sure to come back after we get it installed. Thanks for the heads up Chip

Where'd ya order it from Randy?

I loaded up my vendor last night with the microfiber towels and only had one out of the whole column that hung up. The towel got caught on the vend trip catch...Plus it was up high in the vendor...I don't know if a 19 shelf magazine would help with this or not. I'm thinking, if the towels were wrapped, it would help keep them from getting caught on something on the way down? Maybe I had it stuffed in the shelf too close to the trip arm?

I would recommend keeping them as far away from the trip catch as you can. There isn't much room, but make sure you put them slightly to the right to avoid them catching on that.

Ha! Sorry, I mean 16x16 towels, stuffed into the small sandwich bags. I did like Slash said, & keep them to the Right of the vendor.

 

[MEP001]

I do too - I can't tell you how many times I've looked in someone's vendor and all the product is shoved into the left corner against the catches, and then they complain that drop-shelf vendors suck because the shelves always hang.

BTW, I just thought I would add the microfiber towels from costco are better quality than the sams( the last batch from sams I bought left yellow lint in the cracks of my car). Price in my state is about .50 towel with tax, so I sell them for a dollar.

Also, based on previous experience, the brightly colored ones sell better than the blue ones (if you have a choice in color)

I too like the Costco micro fiber best. But I price them quite a bit more than a buck each, in part so they are preceded as a better value (which the are) than the paper towels I sell

The micro-fiber towels at our Costco are .41 each, nice quality towel. We buy our white terry towels at Costco they are .33 apiece and a very good quality towel, better than any towel I’ve gotten from any of the car wash suppliers. They come 52 in a bag.
