Coveris named Apprentice Employer of the Year by Learn2print
Learn2print offers hands-on training in pre-press, print and finishing, leading to nationally recognized print technician.

Packaging manufacturer Coveris has been awarded the Learn2print Apprentice Employer of the Year Award, sponsored by Heidelberg, for its comprehensive label printing apprenticeship program at its sites in Boston, Spalding and Cramlington.
The program, developed in partnership with training provider Learn2print, offers hands-on training in pre-press, print and finishing, leading to nationally recognized print technician level 2 and 3 qualifications. This year, five apprentices at Coveris are set to complete the course, joining four others who have already successfully gone through all stages of the same program.
Part of the Coveris’ paper business unit, the company’s label manufacturing sites in Cramlington’s Nelson Park Industrial Estate and Boston and Spalding in Lincolnshire produce packaging for many leading brands and retailers.
An apprenticeship in the packaging industry offers local young people the opportunity to build a long-term career in an international sector, while gaining sought-after skills for an industry that is constantly evolving, balancing technological advances, sustainable innovation and award-winning print and brand management.
Jon Bray, managing director of Learn2print, praised Coveris for ‘its strong commitment to developing future-ready talent.’
Michaela Van-Noordt, head of human resources at Coveris’ paper business unit, added: ‘We are delighted and proud to have been awarded Learn2print’s Apprentice Employer of the Year. This recognition reflects the dedication of our talented apprentices, the guidance of our committed mentors, the contribution of our HR and recruitment teams, and our close partnership with Learn2print. Apprenticeships are vital to building a skilled workforce and driving innovation in sustainable packaging – a key part of our “No Waste” vision.’
