Job description

Keep production moving. Learn something new. Help bring amazing products to life.

At Plastic Printers, we've spent nearly 30 years helping businesses create custom products that wow their customers. We're constantly adding new products, equipment, and ways of producing things-which means our production environment moves quickly and rarely looks exactly the same from one day to the next.

We're looking for a Production – Finishing, Support & Operator who loves working with their hands, learning on the fly, and jumping in wherever they're needed.

You might be folding and finishing products today, learning to run a UV printer tomorrow, helping test a brand-new product next week, and jumping over to packaging when a big order needs to ship.

If that sounds exciting rather than overwhelming, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

What You'll Do

• Operate and support finishing equipment including folding, gluing, foiling, and cutting

• Learn to operate different production equipment and processes

• Assist with equipment setup, adjustments, and troubleshooting

• Feed, catch, inspect, finish, and pack products

• Read job tickets and ensure specifications and quality standards are met

• Monitor quality and make adjustments as needed

• Help with packaging, labeling, and general production support

• Work with specialty equipment including UV printers, embroidery equipment, product jigs, and more

• Pivot between tasks, equipment, and departments based on daily production needs

• Help test and launch new products, equipment, and production processes as we grow

You'll Thrive Here If You

• Love learning by doing

• Pick up new processes quickly and aren't afraid to try something new

• Can easily pivot when priorities change

• Enjoy variety instead of doing exactly the same thing every day

• Take pride in detail, accuracy, and quality

• Like hands-on, active work

• Are dependable and team-oriented

• Work with urgency without sacrificing quality

• Are mechanically inclined, curious, and eager to learn

• See a problem and want to help solve it

A Great Place to Start-and Grow

This position is a great foot in the door at Plastic Printers.

Because you'll work with different products, equipment, and areas of production, you'll have the opportunity to develop a broad range of skills and discover where you excel.

We want people who want to learn and grow with us. As you build your skills and new opportunities become available, there may be opportunities to advance into specialized equipment, production, technical, leadership, or other roles within the company.

What We Offer

Paid training, full benefits including medical, dental, and vision, 401(k) match, PTO + holidays, and a supportive, team-focused environment where you'll have opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow.

If you're curious, hands-on, quick to learn, and ready for something different every day, we'd love to meet you.
