Reporting to the Production Manager, the Flexographic Press Operator will set up and operate narrow-web flexographic printing equipment while maintaining high standards for color, registration, quality, productivity, and safety .

The operation produces a variety of pressure-sensitive labels and other flexographically printed products for customers across multiple industries.

Responsibilities include:

• Completing press setups and make-readies
• Setting up and operating flexographic label presses
• Mounting plates and preparing print stations
• Changing inks, substrates, tooling, and materials
• Maintaining proper color and registration throughout the run
• Producing high-quality pressure-sensitive labels

Experience with Mark Andy presses is especially attractive , but you do not need experience on the company's exact equipment.

If you understand flexographic printing, including plates, anilox rolls, inks, substrates, registration, color, die-cutting, and basic press troubleshooting , the company is willing to train you on its equipment and processes.

Experienced Assistant Pressmen and Second Press Operators are encouraged to apply. If you've been helping run a flexo press and are ready to become a primary operator, this company offers the training and opportunity to make that move.

The company is also interested in talking with Lead Press Operators, Flexo Leads, Pressroom Supervisors, and experienced production leaders who may be ready for their next opportunity.

The company is expanding, and that growth is creating opportunities for people who want more than just another press operator job. Strong performers can move into Lead, Supervisor, and other production leadership positions as the operation continues to grow.

If you're a flexographic label press professional looking for better pay, modern technology, excellent benefits, paid training, and a company where you can continue to advance, we'd like to hear from you.
