  • Dependable, punctual, and able to maintain a steady work pace.
  • Able to follow instructions and work safely around production equipment.


Primary Job Function

After cartons are cut from large sheets of paperboard, excess material remains around them. This position primarily uses an air-powered handheld stripping tool to break away and remove that material so the finished cartons can move to folding and gluing.

No previous carton stripping experience is required. Training is provided.
