About the Position

This can be a great fit for someone who enjoys working with both  technology and their hands . A typical day may involve working on a computer to prepare a customer's design, setting up a laser engraver or printer, producing personalized products, checking finished orders for quality, and then helping package those products for shipment.

Because every day involves customer orders,  accuracy and attention to detail matters. We want employees who take pride in looking at a finished product and knowing they produced something they would be happy to receive themselves. If you're dependable, comfortable around computers, and interested in learning how personalized products are designed and manufactured, we'd like to hear from you.
