New Delhi-based Cosmic Arts develops a comprehensive range of effective marketing and promotional materials or end products, using a fleet of advanced machines and finishing systems. The forte behind the company’s finishing fitness is a string of avant-garde equipment, among which a couple of highly automated iECHO intelligent digital cutting machines play pivotal roles. Supplied and installed by Packnology Graphics, both the iECHO machines are currently engaged in high-precision cutting and finishing at Cosmic Arts’ post-press unit where accuracy and efficiency are totally redefined. It was three years ago when iECHO PK 0705 Plus was installed at Cosmic Arts, followed by iECHO PK4 1007 just six months back. Telling the reason why they opted for iECHO PK 0705 Plus three years ago, Arun Menon, Managing Director, Cosmic Arts Private Limited, remarks, “This model offers sheet fed digital die cutting including an option for grooving on kappa boards, which in turn facilitates faster production of rigid gift box samples when compared to traditional methods. Additionally, following the machine’s demonstration and interaction with the Packnology team, information was provided regarding their after-sales support. While multiple companies offer similar products available readily in the market, a key consideration is the quality of after-sales service support.”
He continues, “In fact, after our satisfactory experience with the first iECHO machine, we were in search of a machine similar to it and capable to provide us digital die-cutting of thicker materials like EVA Foam and others. That is when we were introduced to iECHOPK4 1007. Since we had already been impressed by the first iECHO machine and dedicated after-sales service of Packnology, our decision to go with the second machine was quick.”
According to Arun, iECHO PK4 1007 has the advanced features which are both valuable and practical. “Notably, this highly automated sheet-fed cutting system can cut various materials up to 15mm in thickness and it is equipped with a 450W router accessory designed for accurately cutting acrylic materials up to 8mm thick,” he emphasizes. He further mentions that the precision of iECHO machines is commendable. In this, he adds that they have experienced improvement in iECHO PK4 1007 as compared to the first model. “Attaining such accuracy in a sheet-fed cutting machine is notably challenging; however, iECHO has successfully accomplished this through the integration of additional camera sensors,” he points out.
Some of the key products or applications which Cosmic Arts is currently pulling off with the iECHO machines include carry bags, envelopes, stickers, fridge magnets, danglers, tent cards, zig-saw puzzles, coasters, packaging boxes, rigid gift boxes, etc.
