Job Description Job Description Looking for a Flexible Job With Room to Grow?

J&K Printing, our print facility is a locally owned commercial printing company in Canton, Ohio, and we're looking for a dependable, hardworking person to join our team!

We're a small, friendly team that works hard, helps each other out, and likes to have some fun along the way.
