Print Production & Pre-Press Associate

Nest & Note Print Co. (a division of CG Marketing Group)

Part-Time | On-Site | Shakopee, MN

Nest & Note Print Co. is a boutique print studio specializing in beautifully designed, customizable labels, stationery, and paper goods. We operate at the intersection of design and production — combining thoughtful templates with high-quality printing and finishing.

Nest & Note is a division of CG Marketing Group, a family-owned print and marketing company that has been in business for over 50 years. While our Nest & Note team operates like a focused studio, you’ll be part of an established company with long-term stability and a collaborative in-house team.

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, tech-comfortable team member to support order processing, template-based customization, printing, and fulfillment. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys structured workflows, precision-based work, and producing polished, tangible products.

• Prepare first-draft production files using pre-designed templates
• Add customer-provided details such as names, ingredients, product titles, or photos
• Apply established formatting rules (line breaks, spacing, text flow)
• Ensure text fits cleanly within template boundaries
• Check for typos or obvious formatting issues before submitting
• Route completed drafts for final design review and approval prior to printing

(This is not a graphic design role — all layouts and templates are predesigned. The work involves accurately applying customer information within established templates using company software and tools. Training will be provided.)

• Print customer orders using professional print equipment
• Monitor print quality and identify issues before they ship
• Manage daily print queue and batching

• Trim, cut, and stack printed materials
• Bind calendars and notepads
• Laminate bookmarks and specialty items
• Review finished products for accuracy and consistency

• Carefully pack label and paper goods orders
• Insert promotional materials
• Prepare domestic and international shipments
• Ensure orders ship on time

• Strong attention to detail
• Comfortable using computers and web-based tools
• Basic familiarity with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Canva, or similar programs
• Ability to follow structured processes
• Willingness to learn new systems and software
• Reliable and consistent
• Comfortable with hands-on production work
• Able to stand, lift paper boxes, and work at a production table

Bonus (not required):

• Experience in print production, light manufacturing, or order processing
• Experience with template-based work or data entry What This Role Is Not
  • Not a graphic design position
  • Not a warehouse picker role
  • Not customer service

  This is a hybrid production and order-prep role within a small, quality-driven print studio.
