A day on our bag line

You arrive to a clean, orderly production floor, greet your Production Supervisor and Shift Lead, and review the day’s line orders and dockets. You verify specifications for the job at hand, then load paper rolls and dial in the bag line for size. Cylinders are mounted, pressures and web tensions are set, and ink distribution is balanced to meet print requirements. As the run begins, you monitor quality—checking registration, seal integrity, and print clarity—while documenting results. If a stoppage occurs, you troubleshoot quickly to keep production flowing. Throughout the shift, you complete production paperwork, uphold food safety and GMP’s, and finish with a thorough cleanup of your area.
