Executive Summary

Phoenix’s Kreativity Corner is a growing creative production and handcrafted goods business focused on customized products, branded merchandise, specialty prints, apparel decoration, and premium finished items for personal, educational, and commercial clients.

To meet increasing demand and expand into higher-value production services, we are seeking grant funding in the amount of TTD $500,000 to acquire professional wide-format printing and finishing equipment — including a wide-format cutting plotter similar to the Cricut Venture class.

This investment will enable full in-house production of large-scale prints, precision-cut graphics, specialty foil applications, heat-pressed products, and laminated materials.

The upgrade will increase production capacity, improve quality control, reduce outsourcing costs, create new revenue streams, and support skills development and job creation.

Business Overview
Phoenix’s Kreativity Corner provides handcrafted and customized products including printed items, branded merchandise, specialty gifts, apparel items, decorative products, and creative supplies.

The business serves individuals, schools, ministries, small businesses, and event planners who require customized, small-batch, and specialty production.

Current growth has outpaced existing equipment capacity. Several services must be outsourced, increasing turnaround time and reducing margins. Bringing these capabilities in-house will allow scalable and sustainable expansion.

Purpose of Funding
The requested funds will support acquisition of professional equipment that enables complete wide-format production and finishing, including precision cutting and material handling.

This will allow in-house production of:
Posters, banners, and signage
Vinyl decals and precision-cut graphics
Custom apparel and fabric applications
Laminated teaching and training materials
Branded merchandise and marketing displays
Specialty foil and metallic finish products
Durable indoor and outdoor printed materials

Equipment to Be Purchased
The grant will fund the acquisition of:
Wide Format Colour Printer (Inkjet)
Wide Format Colour Printer (Laser)
Wide Format Cutting Plotter (Venture-class machine)
Foiling (Minc-type) Machine
Wide Format Heat Press
Wide Format Hot/Cold Laminating Machine
Together, these machines create a complete print–cut–finish production workflow.
