Packaging printer (a)
Print and coat rigid, fine and luxury cardboard boxes.
As a packaging printer, you will put the ink on the paper. You will get the printing plate ready, mix the inks and set up the machine to print our attractive and secure packaging.
Our packaging printers have a lot to handle: paper, cardboard boxes, rollers or printing plates, for example, and around 85,000 printed sheets of shipping or product packing at the end of the day.
When a print job comes in, you will look at the print templates. As a team, you will plan the perfect process, from the printing file to the fully printed packaging. You will check whether the required material is available, check the inks and install the printing plate on the roller. You will then operate the modern printing machines and oversee the production.
