Six-outlet prize machines
Prize Machine Cabinet Coating: An Export Inspection Checklist
Turn the supplier’s cabinet and coating description into written material specifications, finish checks, packing evidence and a clear receiving record.
Use the finish description to define your inspection
A supplied video presents the cabinet of a six-outlet push prize machine and explains its coating process for overseas orders. The presenter describes pretreatment involving immersion, baking and two coating layers, then identifies the paint as outdoor-grade. The recording shows the finished cabinet while these steps are explained; it does not show the production line or a coating test.
For an importer, the practical next step is to connect those descriptions to the actual ordered cabinet. Request a written finish specification and dated inspection evidence before the machine is packed.
Resolve the material description before treating it as a specification
At approximately 00:04–00:12, the presenter says “1.2” and refers to national-standard sheet material. No unit is stated in that description. Do not turn the number into a confirmed millimeter thickness, material grade or specification applying to every panel.
Ask the supplier to identify the material, thickness and unit for the main cabinet, doors and relevant panels. Request the applicable standard reference if compliance is part of the offer. Keep the approved drawing or material schedule with the order so later inspection uses a written requirement rather than an interpretation of the video.
Confirm the process without guessing the coating chemistry
Around 00:28–00:49, the supplier describes immersion pretreatment, baking and two coating layers. Ask for the actual process sequence, coating system and the quality records available for the order. The exact pretreatment chemistry, layer thickness, curing conditions and paint product are not established by the supplied recording.
If a particular appearance or performance is required, agree on a sample or written acceptance requirement. Ask which surfaces are covered and how edges, joints and touch-up areas are handled. Avoid assuming that the spoken word coating means a particular powder or liquid system.
Inspect this cabinet’s panels, openings and central mechanism
The demonstrated cabinet has six framed prize positions around a central vertical mechanism, a front operating area and a lower front panel. Photograph the whole cabinet and inspect these individual areas before packing. Use consistent lighting and close views of door edges, corners, hinges, panel joints and visible weld areas.
Look for chips, exposed edges, scratches, inconsistent coverage and rubbing at access points. Have the supplier show that doors and service access operate normally after the finish work. Protect the central rail and prize-delivery assembly during the packing demonstration; decorative finish approval should not replace a check for interference or loose parts.

| Area | Record to request | Resolve before dispatch |
|---|---|---|
| Panels and door edges | Overall and close-up finish photographs | Visible chips, rubbing or unfinished edges |
| Six outlet frames and front access areas | Numbered views and normal access demonstration | Damage, loose trim or obstructed access |
| Central mechanism | Before-packing condition and transport restraint details | Contact with packing or unsupported moving parts |
| Packaging | Protection layers and completed package photographs | Unprotected corners or pressure on finished panels |
Agree on protection for the actual shipping route
The supplier links the coating process to long sea transit. Finish and packaging should therefore be checked together. Ask how corners, door faces, outlet frames and decorative panels are separated from contact with packing materials. Confirm the proposed moisture protection, transport restraints and handling orientation for the shipment.
Request photographs before wrapping, during protection and after final packing, with machine and package identifiers visible. If damaged finish is repaired, obtain updated close-ups and the repair record before sign-off.
Create an arrival record before normal use
At receipt, document the external packaging and identification before removing the protection. Photograph any impact, wet area or damaged packing, then compare the cabinet with the pre-shipment images. Check the same door edges, outlet frames, lower front panel and central assembly rather than relying on one overall photograph.
Follow the supplier’s unpacking and startup instructions. Keep packaging and evidence if damage is found, and report the machine identifier, affected location and photographs through the agreed support process. Agree on the reporting period and transport-damage responsibilities before shipment.
Put these questions in the technical RFQ
Name the configuration and destination conditions in the finish request. Keep the supplier’s answers with the packing specification for receiving inspection.
- What material, thickness and unit does “1.2” describe, and which panels use it?
- What pretreatment and coating system is specified for this order?
- What finish sample, inspection criteria and records can be agreed before production?
- How will the six outlet frames, door edges and central mechanism be protected in transit?
- What installation conditions, exclusions and damage-reporting process apply to the complete machine?
Short FAQ on outdoor paint and export condition
Does outdoor-grade paint make the machine suitable for outdoor installation? The paint description does not establish a complete-machine outdoor rating. Confirm the installation conditions separately.
Has the cabinet passed salt-spray or waterproof testing? No such result is supplied in these videos. Request the relevant report if it is required for your purchase.
Is “1.2” a confirmed thickness? It remains an incomplete specification until the supplier confirms the unit, material and affected panels in writing.
