Definition
A newspaper photobooth is an event photobooth that captures guest photos and prints them as fully branded newspaper-style covers — with your masthead, headline, body copy, and brand colours designed to your event. Instamedia’s newspaper photobooth in Malaysia produces A3 (297 × 420mm) or A4 (210 × 297mm) prints on an industrial 1200 DPI laser printer in under 15 seconds, with an instant QR code for digital sharing.
Built for brand activations, corporate annual dinners, product launches, conferences and trade exhibitions across Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor Bahru, Penang and Singapore.
Why it works: generic 4R photo strips end up in the bottom of a tote bag in two seconds. A custom newspaper print becomes a keepsake — guests post it to Stories, take it home, frame it on the desk. It’s the difference between a forgettable activation and a moment people talk about for weeks.

Booth Structures
The A3 / A4 newspaper print is the deliverable. The capture booth is your call — pick the structure that fits your venue footprint, guest count and brand moment. All four run the same in-house software and laser print engine.

FAQ
A newspaper photobooth is an event photobooth that captures guest photos and prints them as fully branded newspaper-style layouts — with a custom masthead, headline, and body copy designed to your event. Instamedia’s newspaper photobooth in Malaysia uses an industrial 1200 DPI laser printer to produce A3 (297 × 420mm) or A4 (210 × 297mm) prints in under 15 seconds, plus an instant QR code that delivers a digital version sized for Instagram, WhatsApp and LinkedIn.
Newspaper photobooth packages start from RM 8,000 for a half-day event with full custom layout. The price includes industrial laser printing, A3 or A4 prints, fully branded design, QR digital edition, on-site tech crew, backup hardware, logistics, setup and teardown. No hidden charges. Final quote depends on event duration, guest volume and customisation depth.
A3 (297 × 420mm) is the larger poster-size newspaper format — best for premium brand launches, gala dinners and luxury activations where the print itself is the takeaway moment. A4 (210 × 297mm) is the smaller standard size — faster to print, higher volume per hour, ideal for corporate annual dinners, conferences and high-guest-count events. Both sizes are 100% customisable to your brand.
Under 15 seconds from photo capture to printed output, including QR code generation. The booth handles 60–80 prints per hour with a single setup.
Industrial laser printing produces 1200 DPI razor-sharp output that’s smudge-proof from the moment it prints and stays vibrant for 10+ years. Standard photobooth inkjet and dye-sublimation printers fade within 1–2 years and produce soft, blurry small text that ruins newspaper layouts. Laser is the same print class luxury brands use for editorial collateral.
Yes — every element is built from scratch to your brand guidelines. Colours, fonts, logo, headline, sub-headers, even the name of the “newspaper”. Send us your brand book and our design team will mock up A3 or A4 layout concepts within 5 working days. No third-party templates, no watermarks.
Four deployment options, all running the same laser print pipeline: Instabooth 2.0 (fully enclosed flagship, fits up to 6 guests), Instabox (compact freestanding cube, sub-2m² footprint, 30-min setup), High Angle (overhead ceiling-mounted rig for group portraits), and Custom Integration (bespoke fabrication built into your stage, retail fit-out or set-piece).
The Instabooth 2.0 fits up to 6 guests inside — the first fully enclosed photobooth in Kuala Lumpur. For events over 1,000 guests we recommend two booths running in parallel.
Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor Bahru and Penang as standard. Singapore and other SEA locations on request — we ship booths regionally for major activations.
Yes. Every printed newspaper has a QR code that delivers an instant digital twin — auto-formatted for Instagram Stories, square posts and landscape. Guests share digitally and keep the physical print.
