Join a team that turns precision into possibility

At Inovar Packaging Group, we’re driven by customers and powered by collaboration. We continually invest in advanced flexographic and digital technology—because when our teams have the right tools, they deliver labels and packaging that set the standard.

Your mission

As a Mark Andy Performance Series P4 operator, you’ll transform specs into flawless finished goods. You’ll own color consistency and registration, keep the press running safely and efficiently, and ensure every order ships on time and to spec.

Imagine this scenario

A complex, multi‑color pressure‑sensitive label hits your queue. You review the ticket, select the anilox lineup, mount plates, stage inks and dies, and thread the substrate. On the first pull, you check density and dot structure, tune registration, and settle into production. A slight color drift appears—you correct it before it leaves spec. You document results, coordinate with Quality, and hand off to Finishing with confidence.

Core responsibilities

• Independently run a Mark Andy P4 narrow‑web flexographic press to meet customer specifications, production schedules, and quality targets.
• Execute complete make‑ready: plate mounting, anilox and ink setup, die setup, substrate selection, and efficient job changeovers.
• Maintain registration and color throughout the run; verify finished goods meet all requirements.
• Troubleshoot and resolve misregistration, color variation, ink coverage issues, dot gain, die‑cut problems, and web handling challenges.
• Optimize press performance with timely adjustments that increase uptime and reduce waste.
• Perform routine preventive maintenance and cleaning; keep the area organized.
