Why Should Small Print Shops Choose a Multi-Function Screen Printer?

In the printing industry, especially for small workshops, family-run businesses, or new startups, the question of investment capital is always a major concern.
How can you invest less but still take on diverse orders?
How can you print everything from T-shirts and fabric bags to bottles and plastic cups—without buying multiple machines?

The answer is the Multi-Function Screen Printer – a smart solution designed specifically for small print shops that want to optimize investment and expand their printing services.

Let’s explore what a multi-function Screen Printer is, its benefits, who should invest in it, and why it’s the ideal choice for small printing businesses.

1. What is a Multi-Function Screen Printer?

A Multi-Function Screen Printer is a machine designed to combine both flat and cylindrical printing functions in one frame.

• Flat printing: T-shirts, fabric bags, paper boxes, decals, flat wood, flat plastic

• Round printing: Plastic/glass bottles, paper cups, tubes, tin cans

The machine’s mechanism allows you to switch between the flat table and round holder, depending on the product, without needing two separate machines.

2. The Pain Points Small Print Shops Face Without a Multi-Function Machine

Many small workshops face 4 major challenges:

• Limited capital: Can’t afford to buy both flat and round printers

• Tight space: No room for 2–3 bulky machines

• Diverse orders: One day it’s T-shirts, the next it’s bottles

• Hard to refuse clients: Flat-only machines can’t handle bottle orders, and vice versa

The result?

• Refusing orders → loss of reputation and revenue

• Outsourcing jobs → higher costs, lower profit

• Buying separate machines → capital investment becomes too high

3. Multi-Function Screen Printer – A Smart Solution for Small Shops

A multi-function printer addresses these issues fully:

✅ Save on investment cost

• Priced from ~20–35 million VND, cheaper than buying two separate machines

• Ideal for new startups

4. Who Should Invest in a Multi-Function Screen Printer?

• Family-run or individual startups with small budgets

• T-shirt printers wanting to expand into cup/bottle printing

• Gift printing workshops with varied products

• Equipment resellers looking to offer 2-in-1 printing solutions

5. What Can You Print With a Multi-Function Screen Printer?
