Branded Arcade Machine Hire 

What Makes It Different

Your Brand Isn't Beside the Machine — It Is the Machine

A standard hire puts an arcade machine in a corner. A branded machine puts your brand at the centre of the Melbourne event experience. Every surface — the side panels, the marquee, the front fascia — carries your logo, your colours, and your campaign messaging.

Guests don’t interact with a machine at your event. They interact with your brand. For 3–5 minutes at a time. That’s not a passive impression from a banner stand — it’s active, sustained, competitive engagement with your brand identity.

We are Melbournes premier arcade hire company with a full in-house print & application operation for custom branded machine wraps. That means we control the quality at every step — From receiving your artwork to the moment the wrap is applied to the cabinet. No outsourcing. No surprises. No ‘My logo doesn’t look quite right’ on event day.

Brand Activations

Branded Arcade Machines for Melbourne Brand Activations

Pop-ups, roadshows, shopping centre activations, and live marketing events across Melbourne. A branded arcade machine doesn’t just attract attention — it creates a dwell moment that turns passersby into brand interactions. 3–5 minutes of competitive play, surrounded by your brand visuals, with a leaderboard that can capture email addresses as part of the experience.

We’ve delivered branded machines for Melbourne activations at the MCEC, Crown Events Centre, Chadstone Shopping Centre, and major inner-city event spaces — every time with consistent artwork quality produced entirely in-house.

Product Launches

Custom Branded Arcade Machine for Melbourne Product Launches

Integrate your new product into the arcade experience at your Melbourne venue. Custom screen content, cabinet messaging, and branded prizes can all be configured around your launch campaign. Guests interact with your product story for minutes, not seconds — and they do it voluntarily, competitively, and with genuine enjoyment.

Product Launch Examples

Expo & Trade Show

Branded Arcade Hire for Melbourne Expos and Trade Shows

Stand out on the exhibition floor at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre or any major Melbourne expo venue. A custom-wrapped arcade machine creates a queue at your stand — and a queue is the most powerful asset on the expo floor.

Everything That Can Be Branded — and How It Works

Full Cabinet Wrap

All visible cabinet surfaces — side panels, front fascia, marquee, and base. Maximum brand impact. Best for Melbourne activations, product launches, and premium corporate events where the machine is a centrepiece.

Marquee + Side Panels

Top marquee display panel and both side panels. Strong brand visibility from across the room. Best for expos and trade shows at Melbourne exhibition venues where front fascia access is limited.

Logo + Marquee Only

Company logo on the top marquee panel. Cost-effective for shorter-term Melbourne hire or budget-conscious events where brand recognition is the goal.

Digital Screen Branding

Custom logo, imagery, or animations on the machine’s attract screen. Visible between rounds of play — maximises passive brand exposure throughout your Melbourne event.

Branded Leaderboard

Custom-designed score leaderboard with company logo and colours. Configurable to require an email address to enter — converts gameplay into first-party data collection at your Melbourne event.

Custom Base Graphics

Branded floor mat or plinth wrap at the machine base. Extends the branding footprint and creates a natural photo moment at Melbourne activations.

Questions about branded hire?

Frequently Asked Questions 

What's the process for branding an arcade machine?

You send us your brand assets (including artwork) and event brief, we produce the wrap in-house, form your approved supplied design, and the fully wrapped machine arrives at your venue ready to go.

Which parts of the machine can be branded?

Side panels, front fascia, top marquee, base graphics, and the digital attract screen — you can go full cabinet wrap or a lighter logo-and-marquee option depending on budget.

How long does branded production take?

Allow 4–6 weeks from artwork approval to delivery. Shorter timelines are sometimes possible if you supply print-ready files.

Can a branded leaderboard capture leads?

Yes — we can set up a leaderboard that requires an email address to log a score, turning gameplay into first-party data collection.

Do I need my own designer?

You will need to supply the desired design you require on your machine that is done either by your in-house team or a contract designer. We will supply templates along with the print requirements to obtain the best possible finish.

Can private events get branded machines too?

Yes — birthdays, engagements and milestone celebrations can all be wrapped in personalised artwork, the same as our corporate branding service.
