Summary
Manufacturing worker who operates printing machines for stickers and labels, handling everything from printing design data to finishing.
Description
Sticker printing workers use design data provided by customers or design teams to perform pre-printing data checks, plate making (or digital setup), machine preparation, and operate printing machines to produce stickers. During printing, they adjust ink color tones and pressure, and check the setup of paper or film. After printing, they perform post-processing such as lamination, cutting, and backing peeling, followed by final quality inspection and packaging. Initial response to machine troubles, as well as regular maintenance and cleaning, are also important tasks. Deadline management according to production plans and collaboration within the team are required.
