The Novolex sustainability vision is built upon three pillars: our products, our operations and our people. Each is critically important to our growth and future as a business. These pillars form the foundation of our company-wide commitment to sustainability, helping us achieve our ambitious goals through our wide-ranging initiatives.

Print operators are responsible for operating sidewall and plate decorating lines which include Van Dam dry offset printers and F&L plate decorators. Print jobs range from 1 to 6 colors. Operators are responsible for complete operation of the lines including artwork set-ups, size changes, color changes and in-run adjustments to maintain print quality. Print operators are expected to frequently monitor quality to ensure that all products being run meet customer and WNA’s expectations by matching the approved signed artwork and supervisor-approved sample and ensuring that packaging and labels match the customer specs documented on the ECS.
