Taiwan Printing Exploration Museum Introduction
Established in March 1949, originally named the "Taiwan Provincial Government Secretariat Printing Factory," it was affiliated with the Taiwan Provincial Government Secretariat. Since July 1, 1999, due to the "streamlining," it has been under the Ministry of Finance and renamed the "Ministry of Finance Printing Factory," marking a full sixty years of operation. The main business includes the printing, sale, and redemption of unified invoices, as well as publishing bulletins, books, forms, confidential documents, account books, receipts, tax stamps, securities, and undertaking commissioned tasks from various government agencies and educational institutions. Over the years, the printing factory's operational model has undergone continuous transformation: from labor-intensive to capital-intensive and then to knowledge-intensive, with a rapid adjustment of its core operations: shifting from production-oriented to marketing-oriented and then to service-oriented. This swift and agile evolution plays a crucial role in stabilizing tax collection, particularly as it has been engaged in unified invoice printing for over 60 years, accompanying the economic and social development of various stages and embodying significant economic, social, and cultural meanings, while also giving rise to many historically unique printed materials, such as consumer voucher gift bags and anti-counterfeiting printing technologies in line with national policy execution, demonstrating innovative characteristics that keep pace with the times and possessing unique industrial cultural significance. The Taiwan Printing Exploration Museum is the first printing industry tourism factory in Taiwan and is also the first to open the invoice printing process for both adults and children to explore and enjoy learning in a fun way. Upholding the intention of industry heritage and educational inspiration, it provides interactive experiences through games during guided tours, allowing visitors to not only learn about the origins of written language but also how printing has changed the world, the secrets of winning unified invoices, and experience the magical effects of printing as well as the use of ancient round printing presses. We hope to showcase the beauty of printing to everyone and welcome you to join us at the "Taiwan Printing Exploration Museum" and befriend our printing Mr. Gutenberg!
