ImeonDesigns Saves Time and Reduces Injuries Using a Custom Die
About IMEONDESIGNS
When Noemi Hicks first started creating paper goods, the only goal she had in mind was to keep active while staying at home with her kids. Needing to stay busy, she soon found the process of making crafts was becoming one of her favorite hobbies.
In the blink of an eye, this hobby transformed into something more. As Noemi was searching the web for creative inspiration, she stumbled upon products like the ones she was making on the online store, Etsy. It wasn’t long before Noemi set up her own Etsy shop called ImeonDesign, took pictures of her products, posted them online and started selling.
Her creations soon began receiving positive feedback from customers and other sellers. Before she knew it, her items landed on the home page of Etsy. From that moment, her business took off. Order after order was coming in, but as more orders came in, more work was needed to be done.
CHALLENGE
The number of pieces she had to cut by hand started piling up. Noemi needed to fulfill orders that required around 600 individual cake boxes and over 3,000 flower petals. Not only was this time-consuming, but it became a strenuous activity for Noemi. The constant motion of cutting shapes with a pair of scissors took a toll on her. She ended up hurting her arm enough that a short break to recover was greatly needed, which began Noemi’s search for an easier and time-saving solution to cut her materials.
SOLUTION
That’s when Noemi discovered AccuCut, and from there, she learned about Custom Shape Pros. She created a custom die for her flower petals and couldn’t have been more pleased with how it improved the efficiency of her production process.
She uses this die not only for her cake designs, but for her cards and nameplates as well. With a die and die-cutting machine, Noemi can get more orders out to more customers much faster than before, which means more happy customers can receive their purchases in a timely fashion.
