A range of printing machines remain at The Royal Press, and many are still functioning today. Among these is an original Glockner-Mercedes dating back to 1956. We also have a Linotype Model 78 made in 1961, an intricate line-casting machine that makes casted rows of letter types by melting lead metal.

We have a letter-block library that houses over 150,000 blocks in four different languages types: Roman alphabets, Chinese characters, Arabic and Tamil scripts. This unique polyglot collection reflects the multicultural community that The Royal Press has served throughout the years.

The Royal Press had printed a wide range of materials dating back eight decades, including medicine boxes, wine labels, newspapers, and more. Printed memorabilia from liquor labels to old bus tickets to 1950s Peranakan calendars, tell a timeless story of the history of Melaka through its forgotten everyday treasures.
