What is a pressure sensitive label?

Pressure sensitive labels are adhesive labels that stick to surfaces when light pressure is applied, without the need for heat, water, or solvents. They are widely used for packaging, product identification, and branding across various industries. These labels consist of a face stock (the printable material), an adhesive layer, and a release liner that protects the adhesive until the label is applied. Their versatility and ease of application make them a popular choice for labeling bottles, boxes, and other products.

What are the common challenges encountered when working in pressure sensitive label production?

Professionals in pressure sensitive label production often face challenges such as maintaining high print quality, ensuring adhesive consistency, and meeting tight deadlines for custom orders. Working closely with the production team and quality assurance staff is essential to minimize errors and reduce waste. Additionally, staying up to date with evolving material technologies and customer specifications helps in delivering reliable and innovative label solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a pressure sensitive label technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Pressure Sensitive Label Technician, you need knowledge of printing processes, material handling, and quality control, usually supported by a high school diploma or technical training. Familiarity with printing presses, die-cutting machines, and quality inspection systems is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong teamwork are essential soft skills for this role. These competencies help ensure precise label production, minimize errors, and maintain efficient workflow in manufacturing environments.

Job description

1st Shift Flexographic Label Press Operator / Lead Press Operator

$28–$44+ per hour | Overtime | Excellent Benefits | Paid Training | Relocation Assistance

A growing label manufacturer is expanding its operations in the area and adding experienced Flexographic Press Operators, Lead Operators, and Supervisor-level talent to its 1st shift team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced label press operator—or a strong Assistant Pressman ready to move up—to join a progressive, technology-driven company that continues to invest in modern printing equipment, automation, training, and its employees.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
  • $28–$44+ per hour, depending on experience
  • Overtime opportunities
  • 1st shift
  • Outstanding company benefits
  • Paid technical training
  • Regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Advancement opportunities for strong performers
  • Opportunities to move into Lead and Supervisor positions
  • Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates
  • Modern, progressive label manufacturing environment
  • Stable company with low employee turnover
  • Strong team-oriented culture
  • Company trains, develops, and promotes from within
The Position

Reporting to the Production Manager, the Flexographic Press Operator will set up and operate narrow-web flexographic printing equipment while maintaining high standards for color, registration, quality, productivity, and safety.

The operation produces a variety of pressure-sensitive labels and other flexographically printed products for customers across multiple industries.

Responsibilities include:

  • Completing press setups and make-readies
  • Setting up and operating flexographic label presses
  • Mounting plates and preparing print stations
  • Changing inks, substrates, tooling, and materials
  • Maintaining proper color and registration throughout the run
  • Producing high-quality pressure-sensitive labels
  • Setting up and monitoring die-cutting and finishing operations
  • Inspecting finished product for print and converting quality
  • Troubleshooting print and press-related issues
  • Performing routine preventative maintenance
  • Maintaining a clean, organized, and safe work area
  • Working with production and quality teams to meet customer specifications and production goals
Experience We're Looking For

Candidates should have 1–2+ years of flexographic printing experience, preferably in pressure-sensitive labels, with equipment such as:

Mark Andy | Nilpeter | Bobst | Gallus | MPS | Omet | PCMC | Similar Flexographic Presses

Experience with Mark Andy presses is especially attractive, but you do not need experience on the company's exact equipment.

If you understand flexographic printing, including plates, anilox rolls, inks, substrates, registration, color, die-cutting, and basic press troubleshooting, the company is willing to train you on its equipment and processes.

Ready to Move Up?

Experienced Assistant Pressmen and Second Press Operators are encouraged to apply. If you've been helping run a flexo press and are ready to become a primary operator, this company offers the training and opportunity to make that move.

The company is also interested in talking with Lead Press Operators, Flexo Leads, Pressroom Supervisors, and experienced production leaders who may be ready for their next opportunity.

The company is expanding, and that growth is creating opportunities for people who want more than just another press operator job. Strong performers can move into Lead, Supervisor, and other production leadership positions as the operation continues to grow.

If you're a flexographic label press professional looking for better pay, modern technology, excellent benefits, paid training, and a company where you can continue to advance, we'd like to hear from you.
