A full-line vending company may set up several types of vending machines that sell a wide range of products.
Products may include candy, cookies, chips, fresh fruit, milk, cold food, coffee and other hot drinks, bottles, cans of soda, and even frozen products like ice cream.
These products can be sold from machines that include coffee, snack, cold food, 20-oz.
bottle machines, and glass-front bottle machines.
In the United States, almost all machines accept bills with more and more machines accepting $5 bills.
This is an advantage to the vendor because it virtually eliminates the need for a bill changer.
Larger corporations with cafeterias will often request full line vending with food service. 
Vending machines have gone through significant changes and innovations.
Many machines are evolving to accept credit cards and companies are now able to monitor a machine's state from afar.
Classic gumball machines led to people packaging items in small capsules that can be dispensed one at a time from such machines.
Larger capsules can be dispensed by claw crane machines.
While most vending machines cannot be stacked on top of each other,the Gacha and Gashapon capsule toys vending machines are designed to operate while stacked on a countertop.
John Greenwick of the Greenway company is a former Mars Electronics employee and former product manager of the first ever bill acceptor.
According to him, the industry saw a need for the ability to standardize the acceptance of coins and currency on a global basis.
As such, a standard known as MDB (Multi-Drop Bus) was invented.
This allows for machines around the world to utilize the same bill acceptor and coin changer devices with an international specification.
Doug M. Sanford of "Vending Times" notes that "many vendors today do not remember the urgency with which industry leaders called on their peers to install coin mechanisms that held the patron's money in escrow until the vend was made; to post a telephone number that a customer could call to report a failure and request a refund; to make sure their drivers were cleaning the machines adequately and replacing burnt-out lamps; and so on and on".
More recent innovations include improved coin and bill validation and the rapid adoption of sense-and-feedback systems to verify that the vend was made.
According to Michael Kasavana, National Automatic Merchandising Association at Michigan State University, the advent of reliable, affordable wireless technology has made telemetry practical and provided the medium through which cashless payments can be authenticated.
Research shows that 50% of consumers will not purchase from a vending machine if its "Use exact change only" light is on.
Machines with telemetry can transmit sales and inventory data to a route truck in the parking lot so that the driver knows what products to bring in for restocking.
Or the data can be transmitted to a remote headquarters for use in scheduling a route stop, detecting component failure or verifying collection information.
Many telemetry technology providers are competing for the standard as the market tests different vending machine setups.
Based on early documentation, digital telemetry communication for stocking and Credit Card style payment systems saves up to 40% of the carbon emissions over standard human monitored, and mechanical change systems.
Another innovation is self-service, standalone Automated Retail stores, for example with a touchscreen.
Once a product is purchased the robotic arm delivers it into the pickup box and charges the consumer's credit card.
In the area of service vending machines other innovations include internet kiosks and DVD vending.
Cashless vending now allows consumers to use debit cards or precharged "keys" such as the U-Key for added convenience.
Vending is a multi-billion dollar industry.
To prevent injuries or death from tipping or striking the machine, most modern snack vending machines equipped with spirals to hold products contain lasers near the access door at the bottom.
If a purchased item does not break the laser beam when falling, the spirals will automatically turn, usually three times to ensure that a product will fall.
If this still does not occur, the customer will be asked to make another selection or will be refunded their money.
Off-grid fuel cell based vending machines with swappable hydrogen storage tanks are entering the market.
Cashless payments will soon be on many vending machines in the near future.
The majority of vending machine operators plan to add credit card swipers to their machines in 2011, according to a study by Apriva, wireless transaction services company.
About 57 percent of companies surveyed by Apriva said they planned to expand the number of their machines outfitted with card swipers.
Sweden's Distec company invented the bokomaten machine to vend library books at remote locations and during off hours.
After few decades of gradual progress in innovations, vending machines have seen a trend to integrate more recent technology and innovations such as interactive touch display, digital signage, video analytics to recognize gender and age group, remote content management, cloud manageability for sales, inventory, refill, etc., all of which make them to be known as smart vending machines.
A Malaysian company Silkron has developed and been providing the smart vending software and SDK known as Vendron for vending machine makers, vending operators and system integrators to leverage on smart vending technology and capabilities. 
Bulk candy machines are mechanical machines that vend a handful of candy, a bouncy ball, or perhaps a capsule with a small toy or jewelry, for one or two coins.
The items may be unsorted; in that case what the customer exactly gets is subject to chance.
In other instances, the customer is guaranteed a specific type of candy.
The gross margins in the bulk candy business can be quite high — gumballs, for instance, can be purchased in bulk for 2 cents apiece and sold for 25 cents in the US.
Gumballs and candy have a relatively long shelf life, enabling vending machine operators to manage many machines without too much time or cost involved.
In addition, the machines are typically inexpensive compared to soft drink or snack machines, which often require power and sometimes refrigeration to work.
Many operators donate a percentage of the profits to charity so that locations will allow them to place the machines for free.
Bulk vending may be a more practical choice than soft drink/snack vending for an individual who also works a full-time job, since the restaurants, retail stores, and other locations suitable for bulk vending may be more likely to be open during the evening and on weekends than venues such as offices that host soft drink and snack machines. 
A marijuana vending machine is a vending machine for selling or dispensing cannabis.
