Trusted printing infrastructure for public communication and official production
The Department of Printing Services, known as Government Press, is one of Malawi's oldest and most vital public service institutions.
Established in 1894, the department was formed to handle official government printing and remains a critical asset in the production of high-quality public documents.
In 1970, its role was broadened when the department was re-designated to operate as a Treasury Fund under Section 17 of the Finance and Audit Act and Section 37:01 of the Laws of Malawi.
Today, DPS operates on a commercial basis, offering professional printing services to both government departments and private-sector clients while sustaining strict standards of confidentiality, reliability, and service quality.
