On-Site Training. 
Your Press, Your Plant.
​

Sending your employees out-of-state for weeks or months at a time, to train on someone else's equipment, doesn't make sense.
​
Recruiting experienced operators from out-of-state is difficult in a tight job market and is likely to result in frustration - especially when the new hire gets homesick and goes back home. Leaving you to repeat the cycle and end up short-handed in the meantime.


​Our solution? Grow your Own! We conduct hands-on training on-site, at your facility, on your schedule, with all of your employees or a select few. 

Pressroom Training Options (click for details)
​
Three levels of workforce training available - from 2 week hands-on boot camps to more comprehensive 6 week programs and beyond, including a digital learning platform available to all operators 24/7, across the plant or multiple locations. We offer a custom approach to your training needs.

Challenges Faced by Flexographic Printing Operations


Challenge - High Employee Turnover
​Frequent turnover creates a constant need for hiring and training.
Solution - Custom Pressroom Training Program
Engaging and supportive training boosts employee satisfaction and improves morale. Skilled and confident operators are more likely to stay with the company.

Challenge - Difficulty Finding Qualified Press Operators
Skilled operators are scarce and hard to recruit. Operators hired from outside the area often move back to their hometowns.
Solution - Hire Locally
Developing internal or local talent reduces your reliance on external or out-of-area hires. By training local talent, your company builds a stable workforce with strong community ties.

Challenge - Low-skilled Operators Hurt Efficiency & Quality
  • Slower job changeovers
  • Reduced production rates
  • Lower print quality
  • Increased waste​
Solution - Accelerated Learning & Skill Elevation
Our training speeds up knowledge acquisition, enabling operators to become proficient faster. A standardized training program elevates the overall skill level of the department, resulting in:
  • Higher production rates
  • Improved print quality
  • Significant waste reduction

Challenge - Lack of Standardized Training
Without a formal training program, new operators take longer to become proficient and skills vary widely.
Solution - Standardized Training Program
Trainees follow a structured path designed to ensure faster onboarding and consistent skill development.

Challenge - Difficulty Standardizing Across Shifts & Locations
Consistent training is hard to implement across multiple shifts and locations.
Solution - Digital Learning Hub
Centralized, digital platform enabling all operators to access:
  • ​Consistent training materials for setup, operation and troubleshooting.
  • Standardized information, including workflow maps,  procedures and work instructions, is always accessible and up-to-date.

​Addressing these challenges leads to improved productivity, higher print quality, and a stronger bottom line. Our training program is designed to equip flexographic printing operations with the tools they need to thrive, starting with a competent, well-trained workforce.
Below are some of the  specific ways  we can help you increase productivity, improve quality AND retain your employees by investing in their education, in turn creating a positive and more efficient workplace.

Here's What On-Site Training Looks Like...


​Frank brings his more than 30 years of experience in the flexographic printing industry to print shops all over the world. It doesn't hurt that he is fluent in both English and Spanish. 

​Frank spoke at Flexo Summit 2019 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he joined a distinguished panel of flexo experts from around the world and presented his thoughts on how to implement today's color standards in the pressroom. We've uploaded some of the pictures above from the event. ​
