Careers

Working at Hot Stamping Dies means joining a focused production team serving print finishers and packaging houses across South Africa. We value careful work, steady turnaround times and people who take pride in getting the detail right.

What it means to work here

Our workshop in Industria, Johannesburg supports customers in Gauteng and beyond, with dies couriered to sites in Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Polokwane and Mbombela. The work is practical, hands-on and tied to real production deadlines, so people who like clear processes and accurate finish work tend to settle in well.

We handle brass and magnesium hot-stamping dies, embossing plates, counterforce matching and repeat orders, so every role contributes to quality, consistency and on-time dispatch. During load-shedding or busy month-end periods, the team has to stay organised and calm, and that matters just as much as technical skill.

Roles we hire for

We do not keep a fixed vacancy list on this page, but we do look for people in a few practical areas as the business grows. If your background fits production, artwork support or dispatch, it is worth sending through your CV.

  • Die engraving and production support
  • Artwork checking and prepress support
  • Customer support and job tracking
  • Packing, dispatch and courier coordination
  • Workshop support and job filing

Experience in print finishing, packaging or related metalwork is useful, though we also value accuracy, reliability and willingness to learn. A steady hand and good communication can go a long way here.

Skills that help you fit in

People who do well in our team usually pay close attention to detail and can work from written instructions without missing small but important points. Because dies are made for specific presses and substrates, you need to think carefully about measurements, artwork quality and the final application.

  • Comfort with measuring, checking and following job specs
  • Basic computer use for job records and communication
  • Good time management and a sense of urgency when required
  • Respect for workshop safety and clean working practices
  • Ability to work with customers and internal team members

It helps if you understand that a small error can affect a whole print run, so consistency matters. We look for people who can stay focused, even when the day gets busy or a courier deadline is tight.

How to apply

To apply, send your CV through the enquiry form on our contact page and mention the type of role you are interested in. If you have worked with dies, engraving, print finishing, packaging or dispatch before, include that experience clearly so we can route your application to the right person.

We review applications as they come in and keep suitable CVs on file for future openings. If you are based in Johannesburg or nearby areas like Pretoria, Germiston or the East Rand, mention your location as well, since practical travel and shift timing can matter.

What the working environment is like

Our day-to-day work is shaped by production schedules, customer deadlines and the need for careful handling of finished jobs. That means a typical day can include artwork checks, engraving setup, sample impression advice, cleaning and alteration work, then packing and dispatch at the end of the job.

We are based in Industria, so the environment is industrial and purpose-built rather than corporate. If you are looking for a place where you can work with your hands, learn from experienced people and see the result of your effort in finished print work, this may suit you well.

Why people stay and grow with us

Good people tend to stay because they get to work on varied jobs and build real skill over time. From job filing and repeat ordering to engraving and counterforce matching, there is enough range in the work to keep it interesting while still staying focused on quality.

  • Clear responsibilities and practical training
  • Exposure to offset, flexo and finishing work
  • Small team communication and direct feedback
  • Work that has visible results in finished packaging and print

We value dependable people who are happy to contribute where needed. If that sounds like you, send your CV through the contact page and we will take it from there.
