About The Position

Flexo Operators: Premium Label Work, Modern Equipment, Real Growth. Cursive manufactures labels and shrink-sleeve packaging for some of the best-known consumer brands in the country. We’ve rebuilt the label manufacturing model around automation, smart processes, and a lean team of people who know their craft. We think big, move fast, and challenge the status quo. If you’re a flexo operator who’s tired of running the same tired equipment, come see what a modern plant looks like. The Role We’re hiring a full-time Converting Machine Operator to run narrow-web flexo and digital finishing equipment producing pressure-sensitive labels and shrink sleeves for wine & spirits, health & beauty, and food & beverage brands. This is skilled work with visible impact. You’ll handle your own make-readies, own quality on your runs, and have a direct line to the supervisor and scheduler when something needs to change. Location note: This position is based at our Mason, OH facility (8467 Duke Blvd) — roughly 21 miles and a 25-30 minute drive straight up I-71 from downtown Cincinnati. Free on-site parking, no downtown traffic, and no garage fees.
