We are looking for an experienced Label Printer / Flexographic Printer to join our production team at Reflex Label Plus, Barwell. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced label printer to join a busy production environment working with high-specification self-adhesive labels and complex multi-process jobs.

You will be responsible for setting up and operating our modern flexographic presses, producing high-quality labels to demanding customer and production standards.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience working on 10-colour flexographic label presses and with complex label production involving multiple processes and special effects.

Our Production Environment

Our Barwell site produces a wide range of high-quality self-adhesive labels, including complex jobs involving:

• 10-colour flexographic printing
• Cold Foil and Hot Foil
• Screen Printing
• Peel & Read / Multi-page Labels
• Lamination and Delamination
• Turn Bar and Cross-over applications
• Multiple varnishes and special effects
• Complex die-cutting and registration requirements
• High-quality process and spot colour printing

The role requires someone who is confident setting up a press from start to finish, maintaining consistent print quality throughout production, troubleshooting issues and achieving the required colour, registration and finishing standards.

We are looking for someone who has:

• Proven experience as a Label Printer / Flexographic Printer
• Strong experience in self-adhesive label production
• Proven experience operating multi-colour flexographic label presses
• Experience working on 10-colour presses would be highly advantageous
• Good practical knowledge of anilox rolls, printing plates, inks, varnishes and print registration
• Experience with Cold Foil, Hot Foil and Screen Printing
• Experience producing Peel & Read, multi-page or multi-layer labels
• Good understanding of print quality, colour control and density

• Experience setting up and running complex jobs involving multiple processes
• Ability to work independently and make sound decisions during production
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to maintaining high quality and production standards
• Good understanding of health & safety and safe working practices

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate will be an experienced label printer who is comfortable working with complex, high-specification label jobs, rather than straightforward single-process work.

You will ideally have hands-on experience with 10-colour flexographic presses and processes such as Cold/Hot Foil, Screen Printing, Peel & Read labels, Turn Bars, Cross-over units and lamination.

If you have a strong background in self-adhesive label printing and enjoy working on technically demanding jobs where quality, registration and attention to detail are critical, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
