A plastics molding plant requires operators at every press on every shift. Why? Because many presses run 24/7. The press doesn't remove parts, trim flash and gates, inspect each part for defects, pack to customer pack standards and maintain supplies of resin and boxes. It's people that do all that, and when a press position is open, parts stack up or the press shuts down.
Inspection is inherent to every job on every press. Operators learn to recognize short shots, flash, sink marks, burns and other defects. They know to set aside anything that doesn't match the boundary sample they have been given. Many molders in Michigan are auto suppliers where a defective part that makes it to the customer is very costly. RHO prepares workers to follow the work instruction and flag anything that appears incorrect.
Packaging plants operate on their own schedules: lines that form, fill, seal, label, case-pack and palletize rapidly, changing over from product to product. Operators must keep up with line speeds, keep count and keep the line clean. They also must detect a defective label or damaged case before it's shipped.
Both run long shifts, nights and weekends. RHO learns about your presses or lines, shifts and volume, and assembles a crew to cover them all, with backup plans for call-offs. Our guide to hiring for a factory floor covers how to safely train new press and line workers.
What do plastics and packaging plants struggle with?
Presses that never stop
Molding operates 24/7, so every shift, including weekends, needs people at the presses.
Repetitive, detailed work
Performing inspection and trimming of the same part throughout an entire shift takes concentration. When workers lose concentration, defects slip through.
Customer pack standards
Packaging parts requires you to use the correct quantity, orientation and container with the correct label every time.
Turnover on the hard shifts
Night and weekend press positions turn over most frequently and take the longest to fill again.

Plastics and packaging staffing questions
Can your workers inspect parts at the press?
Yes. We prepare workers to inspect in-process and to set aside anything that looks different. Only your quality people can train them on the part's defects and boundary samples.
Do you staff the long shifts and weekends molding plants run?
Yes. We staff day, night and weekend shifts so a plant that runs 24/7 can keep all presses manned, having backup people on call if someone calls off. Turnover is highest on night and weekend press shifts, so we staff a consistent crew for those shifts first.
Can you supply operators with injection molding experience?
Yes, if your opening requires molding experience: let us know and we will find candidates that have it. Many press operator jobs (remove, trim, inspect and pack parts) can be taught in a short time to dependable employees with strong attention to detail.
Do you staff packaging and contract packaging plants?
Yes. We staff packaging lines that fill, seal, label, case-pack and palletize, including contract packagers whose products change with each customer order. Just tell us how often your products change over and we will prepare personnel for the counts and labels that come with each job.
Who should a Michigan molder or packager call for staffing?
Contact a staffing agency that staffs by press or line and shift and schedules fill-ins for call-offs. RHO Hiring does that for plastics and packaging plants. We prepare our workers to inspect every part and follow the pack standard. A manager will usually return your call within a couple of hours.
