Print & Packaging Quality Assurance Inspector

The shift starts with a walk-through of incoming paperboard and substrates. You verify material specs, confirm machine make-ready, and complete the day’s first-article check before presses hit full speed. As production moves from Press to Die Cutting, on to Folding & Gluing, Bindery, and Labels, you’re the steady hand protecting quality at every checkpoint.

With a legacy spanning more than two and a half centuries, Oliver Inc. delivers premium commercial print and folding-carton solutions from multiple facilities powered by modern, sustainable technology. Our team-first culture thrives on collaboration, respect, and creative problem-solving for our customers’ brands.
