Sonderen Packaging, is a family company in its third generation of ownership. Since 1963 Sonderen Packaging has been a staple of the Spokane, WA community. We conduct business with the highest level of integrity while striving to maintain a family focused culture. Our culture is built on respectful relationships with our customers and employees. We have a positive working environment with a talented team, and excellent benefits. Are you a reliable & detail oriented employee, who likes a good challenge and has a positive attitude?

A Load Stripper has several duties and responsibilities that ensure that the finishing department can run at full efficiency. The main responsibility is to “strip” the paper waste from the cartons. While this sounds simple, it is actually quite challenging. Handling a 30lb air hammer for the majority of the day is no small feat. This is a physical job where you are constantly on the move.  Advice for a new Stripper would be that “it is critical to pay attention to details to ensure that the product is not damaged during the stripping process.”  The stripper also needs to be constantly communicating and paying attention to the schedule so they ensure they are stripping the most critical jobs. The stripper generally works alone and is self-motivated to consistently work hard. The stripper takes pride in knowing that they are helping the finishing department to increase efficiencies so our customers can receive their product quickly.

This custom manufacturing business is also very humbling in that you learn something new every single day. Manufacturing is exciting and can be unpredictable. We all give our best effort but at the end of the day we must give ourselves some grace. Although we strive for perfection, we are not perfect people and do not make a perfect product. However we take pride in seeing our quality product on the store shelf. We are lifelong learners. We persevere through tough times and are always looking for ways to improve. We love to laugh and joke and celebrate success. If these are characteristics you embody, it is likely you would be a great fit for our team. Are you up for the challenge??
