Join a Team That's Redefining Digital Can Decoration and Packaging

At Fast Track Packaging , we're not your average print shop. As one of North America's leading innovators in aluminum can decoration and digital packaging, we're setting a new standard for quality, customization, and turnaround speed. With industry-first equipment like Velox and Hinterkopf digital presses, we're looking for top-tier talent who understands the unique demands of modern print production.

We're currently hiring two experienced Graphics Prepress Specialists who can transform creative files into flawless, press-ready artwork. If you're a detail-obsessed pro with a strong background in print production and a passion for packaging, you'll thrive in this fast-paced and collaborative environment.

What You'll Do :

• Prepare and optimize customer-supplied artwork for both digital and flexible packaging formats.
• Apply trapping, colour correction, and file formatting based on specific press requirements.
• Ensure consistency, accuracy, and version control across a range of jobs and clients.
• Collaborate with internal teams-including sales, production, and press operators to deliver high-quality results on schedule.
• Proactively identify and resolve technical issues before they reach production.
• Support proofing workflows and facilitate client approvals when needed.

What We're Looking For :

• 3-5+ years of prepress or graphics production experience (print or packaging industry required).
• Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat); Esko software experience is a strong asset.
• Solid understanding of CMYK, spot colour workflows, dielines, trapping, overprint settings, and RIP processes.
• Previous exposure to digital and / or flexographic printing environments.
• Meticulous attention to detail with a calm, methodical approach to problem-solving.
• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and tight timelines effectively.

Why Fast Track?

• Be part of a fast-growing company that's reshaping the future of packaging.
• Join a supportive, close-knit team that values creativity, precision, and initiative.
• Enjoy a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package.
• Gain firsthand experience with next-generation printing technology.
