Classification
Summary
A job that handles processes such as cutting, forming, bonding, and printing of base paper on the manufacturing line for paper food containers (paper plates, paper bowls, paper trays, etc.).
Description
Food container manufacturing workers (paper-made) use pulp-derived base paper and operate bag-making machines, die-cut machines, bonding machines, and printing machines to produce paper containers. They handle a series of processes from setting up raw material rolls, changing dies, forming with hot melt adhesive, printing and laminating, to final inspection and packaging. They monitor the production line operation, prevent defects, investigate and respond to machine troubles, and perform regular inspections and simple maintenance. The factory environment has noise and dust, so they comply with safety and health rules and cooperate as a team to maintain stable production.
