Taiwan Printery Museum Introduction
Established in March 1949, originally named the "Printing Factory of the Taiwan Provincial Government Secretariat," it was under the Taiwan Provincial Government Secretariat. On July 1, 1999, due to the "streamlining" policy, it was restructured under the Ministry of Finance and renamed the "Ministry of Finance Printing Factory," thus reaching a full sixty years of operation. Its main business includes the printing, sale, and prize redemption of uniform invoices, as well as official publications, books, forms, confidential documents, ledgers, receipts, tax stamps, and securities for various levels of government agencies, schools, and tax-related units. Throughout its operational history, the printing factory has continuously transformed its business model: transitioning from labor-intensive to capital-intensive, and then to knowledge-intensive; its operational focus quickly shifted from production-oriented to marketing-oriented, and then to service-oriented. Such rapid and agile changes have played an important role in stabilizing tax collection and enforcement, particularly with over sixty years of handling uniform invoice printing services, accompanying the economic and social development of various stages, rich in symbolic meaning in economic and cultural contexts. It has also produced many historically unique prints, such as consumer voucher gift bags aligned with national policy execution and anti-counterfeiting printing technologies, showcasing innovative characteristics that keep pace with the times, signifying a unique meaning in industrial culture. The Taiwan Printing Exploration Museum is the first printing industry tourism factory in Taiwan and the first to open the invoice printing process for visitors of all ages to explore and learn through enjoyment. Upholding the purpose of industry heritage and educational inspiration, through interactive experiential games during guided tours, visitors can not only learn about the origins of characters but also discover how printing has changed the world, the secrets of winning uniform invoices, the magical printing effects, and experience the use of ancient printing machines, with the hope of presenting the beauty of printing to everyone. We welcome everyone to come hand in hand to the "Taiwan Printing Exploration Museum" and be good friends with our printing Gutenberg! *For more related information, please visit the official website of the printing factory.
