What do you normally do during a print shift?

My main role is to ensure that the shifts run smoothly while producing high quality prints. This includes various preparations for the current and following shift, administrative tasks such as spot checks and liaising between different internal departments.

What do you like best about your position?

It's a very interesting and varied job. There are many variables to manage in the printing process and we set very high standards for our work. Coordinating these different factors ensures that we never get bored.

Are there any tasks that you particularly enjoy doing?

Setting up a print job down to the smallest detail and working towards a perfect print image is one of my favourite tasks.

What are the biggest challenges?

There are various time-related challenges in my day-to-day work, such as dealing with time pressure or completing jobs on time.

What is your greatest success at Coveris?

My greatest success has been my personal and professional development from joining Coveris with no industry experience to becoming a shift supervisor.

What is most interesting to you in the packaging industry?

What I find most exciting is that the packaging is much better than its reputation. For example, packaging is extremely important for the transport and shelf life of food and therefore it makes sense to work in the packaging industry. I am particularly pleased that environmental aspects are playing an increasingly important role and that recycled materials are increasingly being incorporated into new packaging.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about working in the printing department at Coveris?

I would tell him or her, apply, you won't regret it, because there are great opportunities to develop professionally.

What are your interests outside of work?

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, playing chess, playing sports and am interested in trading.
