We started out as secure printers

• designing & producing better, more counterfeit-resistant currency for the First Bank of the United States.

Our products & services have changed, but secure envelops everything we do. Today, we design, manufacture, and personalize contactless credit cards, 3D print highly detailed prototypes & parts, and use digital content to elevate the customer experience in a secure envelope. These are just a few of the things we do. About the Internship Join a hands-on professional development internship designed to immerse you in modern print technologies while building a continuous improvement mindset. Through structured rotations and real production work, you'll gain practical experience, contribute to day-to-day outcomes, and develop specialized skills across advanced manufacturing workflows.

Rotations may include:

Prepress:

Digital Design & CAD Rendering Screen Printing Lithographic Printing Digital Offset 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing) What You'll Do As a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, you will support production teams and learn end-to-end workflows from design-to-print-to-finished product.

Key responsibilities:

Support the prepress flow:

Prepare files, help design graphic elements, andmaintainan organized, error-proofed production workflow; verify assets meet specs for printing, die-cutting, and finishing.

Assistwith equipment setup and operation:

Learn and support setup/operation of digital presses, screen printers, and finishing equipment while meeting safety, quality, and schedule targets.

Prototype and iterate:

Create prototypes using CAD and additive manufacturing; support testing and iterate designs based on results and feedback.

Help deliverright-first-time output:

Read and interpret job tickets; support revisions and art approvals;assistwith job imposition and production setup accuracy.

Contribute to process improvement:

Identifywaste and bottlenecks; support improvements in setup, makeready, color control, and materialutilization; help build standard work and visual controls.

Work cross-functionally:

Partner with R D on new materials/processes; work with Quality to meet specifications and customer/regulatory standards;participatein structured print tests and basic DOEs.

Support troubleshooting:

Use data to help diagnose print defects and variability;assistwith root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Support throughput and customer needs:

Provide design-for-manufacture input, highlight cost/time-saving opportunities, and flag risks that couldimpactdelivery.

Document learning:

Maintainrun logs, change notes, and lessons learned; support playbooks/SOPs to scale best practices. What We're Looking For Required / preferred qualifications: Currentlypursuing aBachelor's degree in Design, Print, Packaging, Manufacturing, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience). Comfortable with digital tools and production workflows (design, file prep, version control, etc.). CAD experience preferred; ability to read technical drawings is a plus. Solid analytical and numeracy skills; comfort using data to support decisions. Additive manufacturing experience is a plus. Mindset & fit: Curious, proactive, and energized by hands-on, fast-paced production. Willingto learn, ask questions, seek feedback, and follow standard work. Focused on safety, quality, and on-time delivery as non-negotiables. Clear communicator who escalates early and collaborates well. Continuous Improvement & Culture You'll be encouraged to learn and apply Lean/CI concepts, including: 5S, visual management, quick changeover, standardized work Documenting experiments (A/B trials, small DOEs) and closing the loop with measurable outcomes Sharing wins and lessons learned with the team What You'll Gain End-to-end exposure to prepress, print, finishing, and prototyping in an advanced manufacturing environment A practical toolkit for continuous improvement and data-driven problem solving A portfolio of production-grade work and CI contributionsdemonstratingimpact If you thrive where ideas move quickly from screen to press to product, and you love making each run better than the last, this internship is for you.
