Independent Print & Design & Independent Wraps & Customs
Boca Raton, FL | Full-Time | IN-PERSON
We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated Production Manager to become a long-term part of our team.
We're a fast-paced print and wrap shop working with everyone from national brands and franchise systems to local mom-and-pop businesses and brand-new startups. We produce signs, banners, graphics, vehicle wraps, digital printing, apparel and just about everything in between.
We're looking for someone who knows production, can keep up with a busy shop, and isn't afraid to jump in and help the team when needed.
What You Should Know...
Hands-on experience with wide-format production is important, including:
- Wide-format printers
- Laminators
- Plotters
- Flexi software
- Vinyls, laminates and different print materials
- File setup, prepress and troubleshooting
- Keeping production organized and jobs moving
Our current Production Manager is staying with us and will train the right person on our equipment, workflow and how we do things. You don't need to know our shop on Day 1... you do need to bring a solid production background, a willingness to learn and ideally some knowledge that can make us better.
If you have experience designing, setting up files and printing vehicle wraps, we REALLY want to hear from you.
Someone who understands vehicle templates, panel setup, bleeds, overlaps, scaling and can help take a wrap from design/prepress RIP print laminate cut ready for installation would be a huge asset to our company.
Other Skills We'd Love
Experience with any of these puts you higher on our radar:
- Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop and graphic design
- Digital printing and bindery equipment
- Sign production and finishing
- Vinyl installation
- Color management and prepress
And if you bring a skill or knowledge that we don't currently have— even better. We're always looking for ways to improve.
More Than Just Experience...
We're looking for someone who is self-motivated, dependable, easy to work with and has a good personality.
Our shop has a relaxed, chill and fun atmosphere, but don't confuse relaxed with slow. We work hard, move fast and take pride in what we produce.
We're looking for someone who wants more than their next paycheck. We want someone who is looking for a company to become part of, make a difference in and grow with long-term.
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING
This is a 100% hands-on, in-person position in Boca Raton, Florida. It cannot be done remotely.
We are looking for local candidates or someone already planning to relocate to South Florida. If you're halfway around the world looking for remote work, please don't clog our inbox with an application for a position you have no realistic chance of getting.
Likewise, if you have absolutely no print, sign, wide-format or related production experience, this probably isn't the position for you.
If this sounds like you, send us your resume and a quick introduction. If you have vehicle wrap design, prepress or printing experience, make sure you tell us—we definitely want to know.
About Us
In 2004, Evan, Independent Print & Design’s Founder and President, was working as an Art Director at a national advertising agency during the day and doing freelance design at night. He and a partner started their own design firm and solicited local businesses during their lunch hour. Soon after, Evan learned that the partner didn’t uphold his side of the deal so they parted ways. This led to increased stress trying to juggle both jobs and he wound up in the hospital. That was the catalyst he needed to leave the advertising agency, branch out on his own and run the design studio fulltime, which became Independent Print & Design.
A few months later he hired his first designer, acquired a wide format printer, a laminator and a production table. In 2015, with the business booming and increased space a necessity, Independent Print & Design moved its facility to its current location in central Boca Raton.
Along the way, the company gained more exposure and expanded its services. Wrapping vehicles became a side project for the company. As jobs came in, outside installers were hired to wrap vehicles in the parking lot. In 2014, Evan was a vendor at a local car show when he was approached by Anthony, a very eager 22-year-old. They spoke for a while and exchanged business cards. Approximately a year later, Anthony was in the area and stopped by the office. He reminded Evan who he was, where they met and informed him that he was a wrap installer at a large local dealership. The following weekend, on one of the hottest days of the year, Anthony was contracted to wrap a car. Evan was very impressed with the quality of work that Anthony did under the circumstances, and for the next year they met on weekends to work on customers’ vehicles.
As demand for vehicle wraps increased, they decided to join forces. In 2016, Anthony left his job and they set up Independent Wraps & Customs as an extension to Independent Print & Design. Year after year, the sister companies have consistently grown.
In 2017 they hired Jamie, an Account Executive who used to work with Evan at the advertising agency. Jamie is the glue that holds everything together and keeps the day-to-day operations running smoothly.
Since then, Joe, Michele and Stephanie have been added to round out the team of experienced professionals. Evan and Anthony believe that finding good employees isn’t easy, but feel fortunate to have a very dedicated and creative group of people onboard.
At Independent Wraps & Customs, we have a passion for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary with every project, large or small. We have established ourselves as an award-winning, full-service vehicle wrap shop serving hundreds of customers, ranging from small businesses to larger corporations. We are proud to provide companies with creative marketing solutions that generate results without breaking the bank. What sets us apart from the rest are our custom designs specified to each client’s needs, a focus on quality craftsmanship and meticulous installations, along with using the most up-to-date equipment and highest quality materials.
