Printers With Pride
At Acclaim, we know experienced printers thrive on challenging, high-quality work - and that's exactly what we do. We're a nationally recognized, high-volume contract decorator serving promotional product distributors across the U.S.
We have multiple large, multi-color automatic presses in operation, including our biggest and fastest 14-color press. We're looking for a skilled operator who can step into a key role on our production floor, running the press that best matches your experience and strengths.
If you take pride in your ability to keep complex jobs running smoothly, hold tight registration, and maintain print quality under deadlines, you'll fit right in here.
Your Role
You'll be responsible for running a high-capacity automatic press from setup to cleanup, managing everything from registration and ink control to production speed and consistency. Depending on your background, you may be assigned to our largest 14-color press, our 12-color press, or another key press in our lineup.

What We're Looking For

Why You'll Like Working Here
We respect skill and craftsmanship. We keep production organized - each printer gets a clear daily list of jobs, so you can focus on running your press instead of hunting for what's next. And we take on the kind of high-quality, high-challenge jobs that make you proud to run the press.
