Home-Based & Small-Workshop Machines for Small Spaces

You can start manufacturing from a spare room or a small shop. These compact, desktop machines run on normal mains and fit a small space, so you can begin without renting a factory. Here are home-and-workshop machines DE International can source from China.

How to choose a machine for a small space

Compact does not have to mean limited — check these:

• Footprint: measure your bench or floor and confirm the machine fits with room to work.
• Power: desktop machines should run on normal single-phase mains.
• Noise and fumes: for a home, check noise, heat and whether you need ventilation.
• Output: small machines suit small batches — match it to realistic daily orders.
• Ease of use: one person should be able to set up and run it safely.

What it costs to land in Bangladesh

Your landed cost is more than the sticker price. Factor in freight and customs before you commit — our guides on the total cost of importing from China and sea freight vs air freight explain the numbers, and it always pays to verify the supplier before you pay. DE International can handle the whole chain: sourcing, quality check, consolidation and shipping, and customs clearance.
