CBP Company always receives a lot of orders for each month that led to the work of printing to be very slow because they lack the staff to set up order on the date required by the customer. To overcome this problem "Silkscreen Printing Machine" was developed to assist CBP or other small-scale enterprise (SME) to increase their production. This machine was built to meet customers' requirement that would facilitate their work, with the adjustable block holder and handle function the block holds the squeegee during the printing process This machine can work with semi-auto system or manually for printing process It has three tables available for the production of the first prototype machine The screen size is only set at (15inch by 18inch) and for the table wood it is (16inch by 20inch). This machine can be operate by only one person. From the prototype testing this machine was able to produce 180 pieces in one hour compare to traditional method which able to produce only 120 pieces. So that, the percentage of increment is 20% and also it is help the industry to improve their production.
