Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to cover most converting and finishing operations including how to maintain substrate operations and complete relevant finishing processes.It applies to individuals who prepare materials and set up and run a range of equipment and machinery for cutting, embossing, folding, collating and fastening. They work under direct supervision, however have certain responsibilities in the production process. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
