The printing press created by University of Indonesia students is designed to produce safe and practical documents. They adopted the way vending machines work in creating Printbox, which is a document printing tool that can be accessed independently. When data security is an important issue, Printbox becomes a necessity. Leakage of data, either due to theft or negligence of the data owner, is the cause of the emergence of criminal acts. This can happen, for example, because the data owner prints personal data, such as ID cards, family cards, and passbooks in public places. Alif Hikmah and three of his colleagues were inspired by this in realizing the Printbox machine.

 Alif as the CEO of Inventing.id explained that the way Printbox works is very easy. This Printbox offers a friendly price for the average student size because the print rate is only Rp500–Rp1,000 per sheet. This tool also addresses student concerns regarding data security. According to Alif, documents uploaded on the server will be locked. So, no one can access them. Once printed, the document will be automatically deleted so that the document remains safe. This is done as an effort to protect user’s data to prevent data leakage and theft.

Printbox is a product of Inventing.id—a startup engaged in the development of high-tech office products in Indonesia. This startup is a program fostered by the Directorate of Innovation and Science Techno Park, University of Indonesia (DISTP UI) and is supported by the Menristekdikti under the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN). Printbox also eliminates the need to deal with customer service when printing documents. In addition to saving the company's operational costs, technology-savvy millennial customers prefer a simple and independent transaction process.
