Ray Shahab Paper Plate Making Work

We are located in Mariahu Sigara, right near the CMC Hospital. If you’re in the area, you can’t really miss the hospital, and we’re just a short distance from there. Ray Shahab Paper Plate Making Work is exactly what it sounds like. We have the machines set up for pressing the paper into shapes, and there is always a stack of raw material waiting in the corner. It’s a dusty kind of job, and the machines make a rhythmic thumping sound all day long. We started doing this because there’s always a need for plates at local events and small shops. It’s a small-scale operation, usually just a couple of us working the floor. Sometimes the stacker jams and we have to spend an hour fixing it, which is frustrating but part of the life. We don’t have a fancy storefront. Most of our work is done in the back where the noise is. The neighborhood is busy with people going to the hospital, so there’s always movement outside our door. We just keep our heads down and get the plates made. It’s honest work, even if our hands get a bit dirty from the ink or the paper dust. We’ve been here for a while and the locals know where to find us when they need a batch for a party. We don’t really use computers much for the day-to-day work. It’s all about the manual settings on the press and making sure the feed is straight.
