The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate will be an experienced label printer who is comfortable working with complex, high-specification label jobs, rather than straightforward single-process work.
You will ideally have hands-on experience with 10-colour flexographic presses and processes such as Cold/Hot Foil, Screen Printing, Peel & Read labels, Turn Bars, Cross-over units and lamination.
If you have a strong background in self-adhesive label printing and enjoy working on technically demanding jobs where quality, registration and attention to detail are critical, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
