Zund Cutter information

What is a Zund cutter?

A Zund Cutter is a high-precision digital cutting machine used to cut a variety of materials such as textiles, cardboard, foam, and plastics. It is commonly used in industries like signage, packaging, and textiles for tasks that require precise and automated cutting. The machine uses computer-controlled blades or routers, allowing for intricate designs and efficient production. Operators use specialized software to set up cutting patterns, which are then executed with great accuracy. The Zund Cutter improves workflow efficiency and reduces manual labor in cutting processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Zund cutter?

To thrive as a Zund Cutter operator, you need strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and familiarity with print production processes, often supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Experience with Zund digital cutting tables, CAD software, and workflow management systems is typically required. Effective problem-solving, time management, and communication skills help you excel in a fast-paced production environment. These skills are vital for ensuring precise cuts, minimizing material waste, and maintaining efficient production timelines.

What are some common challenges Zund cutter operators face when working with different materials?

Zund Cutter operators often encounter challenges when switching between materials like foam, cardboard, textiles, and plastics, as each material may require different blade types, cutting speeds, and pressure settings. Ensuring optimal machine calibration and maintaining blade sharpness are crucial to avoid material wastage and achieve precise cuts. Additionally, operators must stay vigilant about material alignment and software settings to prevent errors, especially when handling complex or custom designs. Effective communication with design teams and ongoing learning about new materials can help address these challenges.

What is the difference between Zund Cutter vs CNC Router Operator?

The Zund Cutter and CNC Router Operator roles both involve material cutting but differ in equipment and applications. The Zund Cutter specializes in precise, automated cutting using Zund systems, often in signage and packaging industries. The CNC Router Operator handles larger, more versatile CNC machines for shaping wood, plastics, or composites.

Job description

Aahs Signs & Graphics has been serving businesses since 1991. We are a well-established, full-service wide-format printing and sign company with an experienced production team and a modern, well-equipped facility.

Our capabilities include wide-format UV printing, digital cutting, routing, laminating, mounting, vinyl graphics, signs, banners, displays, retail graphics, vehicle graphics, and installation.

We have worked with many well-known companies and organizations over the years, including McDonald’s, Del Taco, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Univision, Kroger, The Getty, Hilton Hotels, and many others.


The Position

We are looking for an experienced Wide Format Production Specialist to join our production team.

Our highest priority is finding someone with hands-on experience operating a Zünd digital cutting system.

The ideal candidate is not limited to one machine or one area of production. We are looking for a well-rounded sign and graphics production professional who is comfortable working throughout the shop and can help wherever needed.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Operate a Zünd digital cutter – this is the #1 priority for this position
  • Set up files, tools, materials, and cutting/routing processes on the Zünd
  • Operate wide-format UV printers, including EFI VUTEk and Durst equipment
  • Operate a Colex flatbed cutter/router
  • Perform laminating and mounting of printed graphics
  • Cut, weed, mask, and apply vinyl graphics
  • Produce signs, banners, posters, displays, decals, retail graphics, and other wide-format products
  • Perform general finishing, trimming, assembly, and production work
  • Assist with vinyl and sign installations as needed
  • Inspect finished work for quality and accuracy
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe production area
  • Work with the production team to complete jobs accurately and on schedule


What We Are Looking For

  • Previous hands-on Zünd cutter experience is strongly preferred
  • Experience working in a wide-format printing, sign, or graphics production environment
  • Experience operating wide-format printers
  • Experience with digital flatbed cutting and routing equipment
  • Knowledge of laminating, mounting, vinyl application, and finishing
  • Sign and vinyl installation experience is a plus
  • Ability to read work orders and follow production specifications
  • Good mechanical and problem-solving skills
  • Strong attention to detail and quality
  • Ability to work independently as well as part of a production team
  • Dependable, organized, and willing to help in different areas of production when needed

We are especially interested in candidates who are versatile and experienced across multiple areas of sign and graphics production, rather than someone who has experience with only one piece of equipment.


Schedule & Compensation


Job Type: Full-time
Expected Hours: 40 hours per week
Work Location: In person – Commerce, CA 90040
Pay: $20.00–$25.00 per hour, depending on experience


Benefits

  • Paid time off


How to Apply

Please submit your resume along with a brief description of your hands-on experience with:

  • Zünd digital cutters
  • Wide-format printers
  • Colex or similar cutting/routing equipment
  • Laminating and mounting
  • Vinyl production and installation
  • General sign and graphics production

Please specifically indicate which Zünd model(s) you have operated and approximately how much hands-on Zünd experience you have.
