Among the deals, Pune-based Zaware Creative Enterprises picked up a Technocut 1050 die-cutter and a Smartfold 1100 SL folder-gluer, and Noida-based Lynx Designers & Creators signed for a Technofoil 1050FC foil stamping machine and a Smartfold 1100 SL folder-gluer.

Raahhul S Zawarre, executive director, Zaware Creative Enterprises, said, “We are a commercial printer who diversified into packaging in 2016-17. At the show, we got the die-cutter and the folder-gluer to complete our packaging setup. With these two finishing machines, we will be able to provide complete packaging solutions under one roof.

He added that the company opted for the DGM machines because of its acceptance in the Indian market. “The DGM equipment have filled the gap between capabilities and capacity at right price and local support. I visited multiple DGM and other options users to understand their experiences before finalising the machine because user experience is the key in a capital equipment purchase. Both the machines are future-ready, and upgradation can be made as per the job and future requirement,” he said.

Puneet Agarwal, director, DGM Automation India, said, “We have installed more than 100 machines in the last three-four years with some existing users already. This shows the acceptance of our products in the industry with local factory, demo centre, warehouse and local support. We are happy that a commercial printer like Zaware believes in our products.”

While Zaware is a new account for DGM, Lynx already has a DGM die-cutter on its shopfloor running for the last nine months. After experiencing the performance and support from DGM, the company decided to go for the same partner for its next purchase of hot-foil stamping and folder-gluer kit.
