Self-Service Fridge Magnet Photo Printing Kiosk with QR Upload

KER Self-Service Fridge Magnet Photo Printing Kiosk is an interactive photo personalization terminal designed for tourist attractions, museums, amusement parks, shopping malls, souvenir stores, events and other entertainment or retail locations.

Customers can scan the QR code displayed on the kiosk screen, upload a photo directly from their smartphone and customize the image through a simple mobile or touchscreen interface. After confirming the design and completing payment, the kiosk automatically prints the selected photo onto a compatible fridge magnet card or magnetic photo material.

The entire process can be completed independently without staff assistance, providing customers with a personalized souvenir while helping operators create an additional revenue channel.

The kiosk appearance, magnet size, printer, payment method, software workflow and branding can be customized according to project requirements.

1. Select a language on the kiosk
2. Scan the QR code displayed on the screen
3. Open the upload page on a smartphone
4. Select or take a photo
5. Upload the image

7. Select a frame or template
8. Confirm the order
9. Complete payment
10. Collect the finished photo magnet

The uploaded image can be linked to the correct kiosk session through a temporary QR code or order number.
