What owners tell us
I first found Chalkak on the internet and submitted a contact form.. I didn't realise that would turn into what it is now. The first Photobooth studio in my city with 3 of Chalkak Studio machines, operating 7 days a week. I found the process difficult at first as it was my first business but the team helped me along the way in every single detail and was very attentive... I'm not sure if it would have been feasible and successful if it was not for their constant help, assistance, prompt replies and efforts. Definitely look to work with them more as they are constantly developing. Thank you Chalkak Studio!
MayfilmI came across Chalkak whilst browsing potential manufacturers and was intrigued by the unique designs they had available. After submitting an enquiry form they were super quick in replying and providing additional information. This lead to numerous meetings to discuss our business goals and designs which were very easy to organise due to Chalkak's support and quick responses. As an Australian customer, I am also very satisfied with how fast the delivery process was and received the product with no issues. I would like give a huge thanks to the Chalkak team for providing us a smooth service throughout start to finish.
Selca FilmsWe found Chalkak Studio online when looking for a high-angle photobooth for our pop-up store. The concept for our pop-up store was to bring a bit of Seoul to Italy and of course a photobooth was a must-have item for the store! Our community & team loved the experience, the photo booth was a highlight in our store, it was easy to navigate for everyone that used it and something a lot of people had never experienced before. We generated lots of amazing memories for our community! Thank you! :)
