What's a Bindery Operator?
At Arandell, Bindery Operators manage the saddle stitchers and perfect binder machines that exist in our Finishing Department. Bindery Operators coordinate the set-up, and running of the machines according to the specifics of each job being produced. They are also responsible for the entire bindery crew and will assist additional team members as needed.
