Improve the Appearance of Your Beverage Vending Machine
The selection labels inside a vending machine play an important role in the customer experience. Even when the machine is working properly, faded, damaged, or missing flavor strips can make the product display look incomplete. Replacing an old label with a clean Mountain Dew flavor strip gives the beverage selection a more finished appearance.
The Mountain Dew design is easy to identify at a glance. This is especially useful in busy locations where customers want to select their beverage quickly. Clear product identification can make the selection process easier and reduce confusion between different beverage choices.
For vending operators, maintaining attractive product displays is also part of routine machine service. Along with cleaning the glass, checking prices, stocking beverages, and inspecting the dispensing area, replacing worn flavor strips can help keep the machine looking ready for customers.
Designed for 20 oz Bottle Selections
This flavor strip is specifically listed for a 20 oz Mountain Dew bottle. Using a label that matches the beverage and package size helps keep the machine's product information organized.
The small-size format is approximately 1 3/4 inches wide by 3 19/32 inches tall. Its compact dimensions allow it to fit within the appropriate beverage selection area of compatible vending equipment.
Before ordering, vending operators should compare the dimensions and mounting style of the existing flavor strip with the machine configuration. Vending machines can use different label formats, so matching the replacement strip to the correct machine and product position is important.
Mountain Dew Bottle on Ice Design
The bottle-on-ice presentation gives the flavor strip a recognizable beverage merchandising appearance. It helps connect the selection label with the bottled drink being offered inside the machine.
Strong visual identification is particularly useful when several beverages are displayed side by side. Customers can scan the selection area and locate Mountain Dew without having to study lengthy descriptions or product information.
This makes the flavor strip useful for a wide range of vending environments, including offices, schools, apartment communities, retail locations, manufacturing facilities, waiting areas, break rooms, and other locations where bottled beverages are sold through vending equipment.
Calorie Information for Better Product Identification
This Mountain Dew flavor strip includes calorie information as part of its printed design. Vending operators can use the updated style to present beverage and calorie information directly at the product selection area.
Providing clear product information can make a vending display easier for customers to understand. It also helps operators maintain a more complete and informative product presentation.
Because regulations and vending requirements can change, operators should always confirm the current requirements that apply to their particular machines, locations, and products. The calorie information featured on this strip is part of the product's original design.
Vendo and Dixie Narco Applications
The SA43 flavor strip is designed for applicable Vendo and Dixie Narco vending machines. The Vending World listing notes that the strip can be used with Vendo configurations using the tear-side arrangement and Dixie Narco configurations using the tear-top arrangement.
This makes the SA43 format useful for operators maintaining compatible beverage machines from these manufacturers. When replacing an existing strip, it is still important to check the machine model, existing strip dimensions, mounting orientation, and selection layout before ordering.
Correct fit matters because beverage machines may use different label sizes and mounting arrangements. A properly matched strip provides a cleaner installation and helps keep the beverage selection area organized.
Useful Replacement for Vending Machine Maintenance
Flavor strips are small components, but they are an important part of beverage machine presentation. Over time, labels may become scratched, faded, stained, torn, or detached. In other cases, an operator may change the product selection and need a new label to match the beverage being sold.
Keeping replacement strips available can make routine vending maintenance easier. Instead of leaving an empty or incorrect selection label in the machine, an operator can replace it during a regular service visit.
This Mountain Dew 20 oz flavor strip is a practical option for operators who want to refresh an existing beverage selection. It can also be useful when preparing a refurbished or newly configured vending machine for placement at a customer location.
Sold-Out Indicator Compatibility
The SA43 design includes small punch-out areas intended to accommodate applicable sold-out indicator lights. This feature can help connect the product identification label with the vending machine's selection-status system.
When a selection is unavailable, a properly configured sold-out indicator can communicate that information to customers. This helps reduce confusion and makes the machine easier to understand.
Operators should confirm that their specific vending machine uses the corresponding indicator configuration before installation. Machine layouts and components can vary by model.
Original-Style Vending Part
Vending World identifies this item as a new part and describes its flavor strips as original products supplied by national bottling companies rather than generic copies. This can be useful for operators who want the beverage selection area to maintain a familiar branded appearance.
A consistent visual presentation is especially helpful for machines carrying multiple branded beverages. Matching the product label to the beverage inside the machine creates a more organized display and makes product identification easier for customers.
Simple Installation and Replacement
Replacing a flavor strip is generally a straightforward vending maintenance task when the machine is designed for the corresponding strip format. Remove the existing label according to the machine manufacturer's configuration and position the replacement strip in the designated selection area.
Take care to align the strip correctly with the selection button, product position, and any applicable sold-out indicator. A properly positioned label should be easy to read from the front of the machine and should correspond with the beverage stocked in that selection.
For best results, clean the surrounding display area before installing the new strip. Removing dust, dirt, and residue can help produce a cleaner overall appearance.

Why Replace Worn Flavor Strips?
A vending machine is often one of the first things a customer sees before making a beverage purchase. A worn label can make an otherwise functional machine look neglected. Replacing damaged flavor strips is a simple maintenance step that can improve the presentation of the machine.
New labels also help ensure that the information shown to customers matches the products currently stocked. If an operator changes from one beverage to another, updating the corresponding flavor strip can prevent customers from selecting a product based on incorrect labeling.
Ordering Information
The Mountain Dew Small Size 20 oz Bottle Flavor Strip is listed under SKU SA43MDBOI. The listed dimensions are 1 3/4" x 3 19/32", and the product listing specifies a minimum order of three. Quantity pricing may be available for larger orders.
Vending operators purchasing several strips can use additional pieces as replacements for future maintenance. Having spare labels available can be convenient when servicing multiple machines or maintaining a vending route.
Check Your Machine Before Ordering
Although the SA43 format is intended for applicable Vendo and Dixie Narco vending machines, operators should verify compatibility before purchasing. Check the existing label size, mounting orientation, machine manufacturer, and beverage selection configuration.
If your machine currently uses a different flavor-strip format, another product in the Vending World flavor-strip collection may be more appropriate. Matching the correct strip to the machine helps ensure a clean fit and professional appearance.

The Mountain Dew Small Size 20 oz Bottle Flavor Strip is a compact vending machine component designed to make a beverage selection easy to recognize. Its Mountain Dew bottle-on-ice presentation, calorie information, compact dimensions, and compatibility with applicable vending equipment make it a practical replacement for operators maintaining their beverage machines.
Whether you are replacing a damaged label, updating a machine after changing its beverage selection, or keeping spare parts on hand for routine vending service, the SA43 flavor strip provides a simple way to maintain a clean and consistent product display.
Order the Mountain Dew Small Size 20 oz Bottle Flavor Strip for your compatible vending machine and keep your beverage selections clearly identified and professionally presented.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?
Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability
New vs Refurbished
We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.
According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.
Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:
- Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
- Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
- Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700
(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)
As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.
Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.
Start small and grow as you can afford it.Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.
All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.
Small mechanical machines have two main problems:
- They don't make change or accept dollar bills
- They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff
Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.
A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
