Small businesses, major brands, and entrepreneurs all know the value of having customized merch. So do creatives who love to tinker with tech that lets them make custom items in bulk. However, making merch involves the use of high-quality tools, such as screen printers, engravers and even laser cutters, which can be very pricey. If you’re a creative or a business owner in need of this kind of equipment, you’re in luck. xTool is currently offering up to 60% off its devices in multiple categories during its four-year anniversary sale. That makes now a great time to buy.

Act fast, though, if you see something you want, because we don’t know whether inventory will sell out.
This dual laser engraver can etch custom designs onto more than 300 types of materials, including metal.

This deal includes a free material kit and free cutting panel. You can also get a material card for up to 20% off with this purchase.
The multifunctional M1 Ultra is perfect for anyone who needs a laser, pen, printer and cutter for digital arts, crafts and engravings. This gives you the option to make delicate, doilylike laser-printed art. You can also use it for debossing, foiling and making other custom goods.
xTool’s current deal slashes the cost of the M1 Ultra 10W basic bundle by $600. You’ll also get a free cutting blade, fine-point blade, fine-point pen and M1 Ultra 10W laser module.
This xTool heat press includes four presets, temperature controls and ThermoMaster technology for more-even heating capabilities.

You can also use up to 25kg of pressure for heavier items that require printing.
xTool is also offering deals on the supplies you’ll need to make your designs come to life, such as this set of six acrylic screen-print inks.
