In this role, you will operate and control the equipment, either as the sole operator or part of a 2-operator team depending on which machine you operate. Both machines are capable of printing, coating and converting and are extremely versatile for producing a variety of tapes, labels and custom adhesive products.

Our equipment is capable of running dual webs or a single web, can print graphics, coat adhesive and perform die-cutting all in one pass. You will be manufacturing linerless adhesive products, as well as pressure-sensitive laminations and double-sided tapes.
