Packaging Night Full Time With No Experience jobs in Mississauga, ON

Start on the Press. Grow Into an Operator.

At Wedlock Paper Converters, we run a W&H Miraflex CI 8-colour flexographic press — one of the most capable machines in flexible packaging printing. Our Press Assistant role is the entry point to our press crew, and it’s built as the first step in a real career path through Wedlock’s Training Academy.

This isn’t a sweeping-and-fetching role. You’ll be cross-trained in plate mounting as a core, independently-performed skill. Strong performers move forward to Junior Press Operator.

Who We Are

Wedlock Paper Converters Ltd. is a Mississauga-based manufacturer of flexible packaging and converted paper products, serving food and consumer goods customers across North America. We operate to GMP, AIB, and food-safety standards, and our press crew takes print quality seriously.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work directly with the Press Operator through set-up, production runs, and changeovers. Here’s what that looks like day to day:

Press Support & Changeovers

• Assist the Press Operator with set-up and changeovers: stage plates, anilox rolls, and inks; support web threading and between-job clean-up
• Handle, stage, and move materials safely — substrate rolls, ink pails, plate cylinders, finished rolls — using appropriate lifting equipment
• Support basic in-process quality checks (visual inspection, roll condition, splice quality) under direction of the Press Operator

Plate Mounting

• Cross-train in plate mounting on the Miraflex CI press
• Mount plates independently and proficiently to registration and quality standards
• Verify mounted plates against work orders and artwork approvals before press start-up — flag any discrepancies before the job runs

Housekeeping, Documentation & Safety

• Perform ink pot clean-out, anilox and press component cleaning, and 5S housekeeping around the press on schedule
• Complete assigned production, waste, and mounting log entries accurately
• Follow all LOTO, machine guarding, and PPE requirements; participate in GMP and food-safety practices

What You Bring to the Table

No prior press-room experience required — we’ll train you. Here’s what matters:

• High school diploma (OSSD) or equivalent
• Good manual dexterity and mechanical aptitude — plate mounting is precision work that requires a steady, careful approach
• Ability and genuine willingness to learn plate mounting to full independent proficiency within a defined training period
• Comfortable following detailed work instructions and colour/registration standards
• Able to lift up to 25 kg (55 lb) and stand for extended periods during press runs and changeovers
• Basic computer literacy for production log entry
• Able to work rotating shifts including days, afternoons, nights, and weekends as required
• Reliable, safety-conscious, and comfortable working closely with rotating equipment
• Prior experience in manufacturing, warehousing, or hands-on production work is an asset

The Real Talk: What This Job Is Like

• Rotating shifts — days, afternoons, nights, and weekends are part of the schedule
• Active manufacturing floor environment: noise, moving machinery, inks and solvents, variable temperatures. PPE is provided and mandatory
• Physically demanding — you’ll be on your feet, lifting, and doing fine motor work (plate mounting) throughout your shift
• Cleanliness and 5S are part of the job, not extras
• You’re learning from experienced press operators — show up ready to absorb everything
