Folding Carton Die‑Cut Press Operator

Step onto 2nd shift and own the cut

You arrive, review the job ticket, and ready the die-cutter. The previous setup is dismantled and documented: you log impressions on saved jobs with date, press and chase number, and dispose of dies as marked. A quick sample pull and glue set verify accuracy against specifications. Throughout the run, you watch for precision in cutting, scoring, and creasing, making on-the-fly adjustments to keep quality perfect.

That’s a typical rhythm on our 2nd shift for a Die-Cutting pro at Oliver Inc. With more than 250 years of history, multiple facilities, and state-of-the-art, sustainability‑minded technology, we deliver speed, consistency, and nimbleness as a one‑stop partner for printing and packaging. We’re passionate about great work, respectful collaboration, and serving customers with creative solutions that build their brands.
