About the role

The primary function of a packer is to take product from bulk containers and pack into individual containers. Packers must read and follow work orders, attach labels to each container, and use tape machines and weight scales. Production is posted on the DSI computer system, and completed orders are pushed onto the conveyor. In some cases, packers pick parts from primary bulk locations to fill orders. At the end of each shift, packers clean workstations and sweep floors.
