Why people choose to build a career here
Flexography Printer is based in Spartan, Kempton Park and works with label converters across South Africa. Since 2008, our team has focused on narrow-web flexo label presses, setup, operator training and support that helps customers keep production moving. We look for people who are hands-on, calm under pressure and ready to work with real production challenges, from first installation to daily running and maintenance.
Our work covers food and beverage labels, cosmetics, retail packaging and other fast-moving print environments. That means the pace can be busy, especially when a press must be commissioned before a shift starts or a fault needs attention during load-shedding. If you value practical problem-solving and clear communication, you may fit in well here.
Roles we hire for
We do not keep a fixed vacancy list on this page, but we regularly look for people with experience or interest in the following areas:
- Technical service and breakdown support for narrow-web flexo presses
- Installation and commissioning work on customer sites
- Operator training and startup production support
- Preventive maintenance and spare parts coordination
- Customer support and job scheduling
- Finishing setup, plate mounting help and production consulting
Some roles are customer-facing and site-based, while others need strong office co-ordination and follow-up. A good attitude matters as much as technical knowledge, and we value people who ask questions, document work properly and keep customers informed.
What a typical day can involve
A day in our team might include preparing for a press installation in Johannesburg, checking a finishing setup for a converter in Cape Town or helping a customer in Durban work through production issues remotely. You may support an operator during start-up, review an anilox care routine or help solve a print quality concern before a delivery deadline slips. The work changes from one week to the next, which keeps it practical and hands-on.
Because we support sites across Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape, we need people who are organised and willing to travel when required. Coastal humidity, power interruptions and municipal restrictions can all affect production, so our team must think ahead and work carefully.
The kind of people who do well here
We work best with people who are dependable, neat in their work and comfortable speaking to clients on site or by phone. Many of our jobs involve press setup, training and support in active production areas, so safety awareness and respect for customer operations are important. If you can explain technical steps clearly and keep your notes in order, you will bring real value.
- Practical experience with printing or converting equipment
- Strong troubleshooting habits
- Good timekeeping and follow-through
- Clear communication with operators and managers
- Willingness to learn and take instruction
Formal qualifications can help, but they are not the only thing we look at. We also consider work ethic, initiative and the ability to stay steady when there is pressure on production.
How training and support work internally
We believe good support starts with proper training. New team members are introduced to our service process, customer communication standards and the practical details of narrow-web flexo press work. Depending on the role, you may shadow experienced staff on installations, service calls or training sessions before handling tasks on your own. That support helps people build confidence without being rushed.
We also encourage ongoing learning around setup, maintenance and finishing. In this industry, small details matter, and a person who understands plate mounting, print consistency or preventive maintenance can make a strong difference to a customer’s daily output. It is steady work, not flashy work, but it counts.
