How much does a packager make in Japan?

Workers check products and materials, refill packaging supplies, then run and watch a packaging line. They check product weight and safety, add dates or labels, box finished goods, and move them to storage.

Did you know? Some Japanese packaging lines weigh products and check for metal before the products are boxed.

In Japan, many people enter after high school or vocational school, but no specific degree or license is required. Employers teach safety and machine operation on the job; an industrial packaging skills test or forklift training may help with specialized duties.

Why does pay differ?

In Japan, pay can differ with experience, employer size and type, and location. Full-time or part-time status, hours, shifts, overtime, and specialist tasks or relevant certificates can also affect pay.
