Job Description

Shape the next generation of premium labels

Step onto the pressroom floor where precision, pace, and craftsmanship meet. From mounting plates to dialing in ink density, you will bring high-visibility prime labels to life on a servo-driven narrow-web Flexographic Digital Hybrid Press. Your expertise ensures every run is on-color, on-spec, and right on time.

Shift options

We have multiple shifts available:

• 2nd shift: 2:30 PM – 10:30 PM
• 3rd shift: 10:30 PM – 6:30 AM

You arrive, review job tickets, and prepare the press. Substrate is loaded, plates are mounted, anilox and tooling are checked, and print impression is precisely set. You balance ink distribution, match color targets, and fine-tune web tension and dryer temperature. As the job runs, you watch registration like a hawk, troubleshoot any print variation, and keep waste to a minimum. Between runs, you handle cleaning, oiling, and minor repairs so the press is always production-ready. Throughout, you collaborate with a tight-knit team to deliver labels that make brands stand out.
