“We began working with Esko back in 2010, and over the past 15 years the relationship has grown alongside our business. In 2022, we added XPS technology to improve plate consistency and exposure control. Then in 2024, we invested in a large-format CDI together with Print Control Wizard to further advance our automation and imaging quality. Each step has brought us closer to the fully integrated workflow we set out to build.
Before Esko, there were still many manual processes in prepress that sometimes caused inconsistent output and longer setup times. Our goal was a workflow that is more connected, more efficient, and more repeatable — and that is exactly what Esko has delivered.
Esko has been a long-term partner in our journey toward a more connected, consistent, and efficient prepress operation.

Today, our workflow runs from customer files through Automation Engine and Flexo Front End, into CDI plate imaging and XPS exposure, and finally into production. It creates a smooth, connected process with significantly less manual handling at every stage. We have seen faster repeat job setup, more consistent plate quality across shifts, and reduced waste during press startup — all managed by a dedicated prepress team of three people.
What makes Menara Cipta different is the combination of technology, integrated workflow, and operational discipline. We are not just printing labels — we are delivering color management, plate making, print optimization, and quality assurance on every job. Esko supports all of that in one ecosystem, and the integration between software and hardware works very well for our operation.
Looking ahead, the packaging industry will only become more automated and more demanding — more SKU variations, shorter lead times, greater pressure on color consistency and efficiency. Continuous investment in technology will remain critical, and Esko will continue to be an important partner in that journey.”
