Job description

Whether you have experience or you’re new to print, we provide training and also cross train in different functions of our Digital Print Facility. We are often asked if this role is in a store, it is not. Staples has dedicated print facilities to handle large print orders that originate from our stores. For some openings, we can be flexible to work around your schedule.

As a Print Production Associate, you will be collaborative and inclusive in helping our customers meet their copy and print needs while being part of a fun, team-oriented culture. Our print facilites are not typically customer facing as larger orders from our stores are sent to our print facilites to complete. You’ll produce and finish large copy, print and signage orders coming into our local print facility using high volume digital print equipment.

Get great perks.

• Full-time, growth opportunities, weekly pay, and generous paid time off; hiring immediately
