Eternal Machinery Co., LTD’s Die-cutting Machine – British Company Wants More

England’s Cumberland Packaging Company recently purchased a large-format platen die-cutting machine from Shanghai Eternal Machinery Co., LTD. Prior to this purchase, Cumberland Packaging Company had already purchased two large-format platen die-cutting machines.  With a large increase in business volume, the original two die-cutting machines were unable to match the increased demand, and so the company quickly purchased a third machine. 

"John Watson, Managing Director of Cumberland had no hesitation in ordering the new Eterna PE1620SA Elite die-cutter which is capable of run speeds of 6,000 sheets per hour," says Mr Stolber. "The Installation was completed in a timely manner and Cumberland are delighted with the increase in performance and capacity that the machine has given them," he concludes.
