Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Patterned Paper Makers produce patterned paper using traditional or industrial methods.
Description
Patterned Paper Makers start from blending and adjusting pulp, the raw material for paper, transfer patterns onto the paper surface using techniques such as screen printing or embossing, and manufacture patterned paper through dyeing, drying, and finishing processes. They are responsible for operating production line machinery, preparing plates, color adjustment, cutting, quality inspection, and strive to maintain and improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality. Machine inspection, maintenance, and safety and health management are also part of the duties.
Future Outlook
While work methods are changing due to advances in automation and labor reduction across the papermaking industry, demand for traditional patterned paper remains strong, and personnel with specialized skills will continue to be needed.
