1. Bank reconcilation
The task was a P&C (Private and Confidential) matters for the company so I wont
included any pictures for company data but I can explained how its works on my
perspectives. The company used AutoCount Software to made very accounting data
done easily.
14
Screnshot from AutoCount software.
The goal was to reconcile the bank statement for the month of January – April 2023
with the company's financial records. The main goals were to make sure that both sets
of records matched precisely and to find and fix any inconsistencies, mistakes, in this
company records. This procedure is essential for preserving the accuracy of the
business's financial information and detecting any fraud.
Steps taken:
Reporting and Documentation: I kept track of all the steps I took to address each
discrepancy, including making any necessary edits to the company's records. I also
15
wrote a report outlining the reconciliation procedure and emphasizing any noteworthy
discoveries or problems.
Challenges that I have faces during the bank reconciliation process is there are
outstanding checks, uncleared deposits, and timing of transactions diffrences. So, for
this task, the accountant does the rest of the job. This task gave me insightful
knowledge about financial reconciliation procedures, which are essential for
preserving accuracy and avoiding mistakes in finances. I became skilled at spotting
differences and realized how crucial it is to pay attention to details. I also discovered
that effective problem-solving in the finance department requires open communication.
2. AL & MC summary
This task was also P&C matters for the company, but I can attach some picture that
may be safe for the purpose of academic’s study in this field.
16
The primary objectives were to ensure accurate and compliant record-keeping,
facilitate leave requests, and maintain transparency in the leave allocation and
utilization process.
Steps taken:
Examining Leave Policies: To fully understand the guidelines and privileges related
to yearly and medical leave, I began by carefully going over the company's leave
policies and procedures.
Handling Leave Requests: I took an active role in managing the leave request
procedure to make sure employees followed company policies when submitting their
requests. I looked over and handled these requests, getting in touch with employees
if more information was required. I also getting supervised all the time to receive any
data from staffs.
Compliance and Regulation: I ensured that all leave records and processes adhered
to relevant labor laws, company policies, and employment contracts.
Record Maintenance: Accurate and up-to-date records were maintained for all staff
members. This included tracking annual leave accrual, leave balances, and medical
leave approvals.
17
Documentation Accuracy: It was crucial to keep up-to-date, accurate records. Any
oversight or error could lead to gaps in leave and cause problems for both the
employees and the business.
Leave Balances: Handling requests for leave when employees had insufficient
balances required delicate conversations and alternative arrangements, such as leave
without pay.
3. Designing
For the Designing department, I was given only one day at this department.
The reason I got send is because the design departments are short staffs so HR sent
me off from office departments to covering this department.
18
Steps taken:
Walk in: After done booking an appointment, the customer will deal with the designers’
staff to fulfill their wishes.
Design Execution: After the consultation, I moved forward with the design work while
considering the suggestions and preferences that had been discussed with the client
during the meeting.
Feedback and Revisions: I made sure to keep the lines of communication open with
my clients during the design process, asking for their opinion and making the required
changes in response to their requests.
Communication: It was necessary, though sometimes more work, to make sure that
clients fully understood the importance of the appointment and its role in the design
process.
19
The designing task with an appointment requirement allowed me to apply my design
skills and customer service knowledge in a practical setting. It deepened my
understanding of the importance of tailored design solutions and effective client
communication. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the success of design
projects and the satisfaction of our clients. I look forward to continuing to learn and
grow during the remainder of my internship.
For this job, I got send here for a month because there are no available computers to
use for printing departments so that’s why I stayed here for a while.
Stickers department have a lot of machines such as Summa Sticker Cutter Model
D60R , Innovace IT6000 Model LST-0604 RM,Graphtec CE6000-40 Plus Cutting
Plotter And NSI Laser Engraving & Cutting.The only machine that I have handled and

precision and accuracy. This cutting machine is a crucial tool for the company's sticker

make sure it stayed in top operating condition.
After cutting, the sticker that have been finished will put back into the plastic and its
ready to sent to collection department.
27
The receipt should be with the items so collections staff can recognize the items that
customers ordered.
5. Printing jobs
For this department (printing) I received many jobs including offset orders like flyers
but I cannot list them all because the lacks of time and I was in the printing department
for short amount of times.So here a little bit of some jobs that I have been doing
regularly at printing department.
• Namecard
The task involved creating and printing name cards for employees, using the Revoria
PC1120 printer. Name cards are a fundamental element of professional branding and
28
communication, and it was my responsibility to ensure that they were designed and
printed to meet the company's quality and branding standards.
Design Planning: I began by arranging the name card design. This involved choosing
the design elements, colors, fonts, and layout to produce a polished and eye-catching
look.Then, I put it into the template that have been prepared from the company so the
namecard are ready to be printed.
29
Test Printing: To make sure the printer settings were set correctly and the name cards
aligned as intended, I printed a few test prints before moving on to the final prints.
Production Printing: I started printing the name cards in the quantities that need
after the test prints turned out well. I kept a careful eye on the printing procedure to
spot and fix any problems as they appeared.
Cutting and Trimming: I trimmed and cut the printed name cards using polar mohr
90 CE to their final size, ensuring neat and professional edges.
• Sticker
30
This is a guide/template that used in compamny labeling stickers. Every design were
placed into the guide and bleed are created later.The material for stickers are
Mirrorkote, PVC, and transparent while the a4 sizes using matte stickers.Usually
customer needs the stickers in A3+ because they want to make labeling and others
so they need in a mass or large quantites.
After stickers are placed the bleed are made so they will be a clean cut afterthat.
These are the stickers that have been placed in the guide so it ready to print on
versant 80 and ready to be delivered to production stickers to cut it.
31
Fujixerox Versant 80 – where the stickers are printed for good quality.
• Document to print
Before receive the documents, this company make numbers system, where the
customers given number/tickets for them to be served. Then, when the printing staff
called for their number/ticket they are ready to be served.
The customers was given choices on how they wanted to acces their file. They can
use Whatsapp,Email,Telegram or other portable devices such as pendrives or external
drives.
32
So, when I received the file, I will ask the customer about the sizes, colour and which
paper material they wanna use.So in this case, the customer demanded to print an
A4 size document with black&white colour.
Then, after the consultation with the customer fullfill its needs, the file is ready to be
print. Before that, all the settings must be exact to the customer order. When all the
settings are set to perfect condition the file is good to go and ready to be print to the
printer which using the Fuji Xerox D95.
After the file was sent to the printer, the printer will print the documents exactly into
what we need after send the pdf file into it.
33
In conclusion, I'm happy with the D95 machine because it allows me to utilize the
printer directly. I can use the theoretical knowledge I acquired in my work. Therefore,
I make sure that the materials I used are pertinent to the customer before printing
some documents. The printer configuration should then be thoroughly understood,
as we require knowledge of the appropriate paper type, size, and print quality
settings.
For these two items , I just edit the size of artworks and its font size.According to
company policy I cannot do any editing works because its belong to the design
department but the customers insisted to do the edit.At first, I didn’t do it because I
respected the company policy, then the customer begged the supervisor to edit the
file. As a person with humanity, my supervisor let the customer do the editing services
with me.To summarize, eventhough the company has the policy but it has its own
flaws.
34
• Nametag
This job only used Adobe ilustrator because the rest of the process was done by
production crew which in sticker department using the NSI Laser Engraving machine.
First, I received the request on what name, size and type of finishing to be use by the
customer.As you can see, the picture below shows the template that I used for making
the nametag and ready to be send to production staff.
35
• Poster
36
Mostly in Achik Print, they use Epson Truecolour T5405 for print some poster with the
material of matte paper which can make the printed product colour vibrant and clear
when printed.
The poster is mostly printed on this machine because this is an inkjet print machine
so no wonder that the quality of printed items is in high quality.
The first step before using this print is ensure the files that been received from
customers are jpeg formatted because this machine only read those formats. So, I
ensure that the files that I wanted to print on it are in the right format. The sizes of file
that I want to print are also important because the its according to the customers needs
like they want A1 sizes or whatever sizes they wanted.
37
After all prefferences are being set, those files are sent to Epson OS computer which
can settings the rotation of the poster, cropmarks and sizes. Make sure file that have
been received is in jpeg and click the file to ensure its ready to print. In this stage, we
only choose the files,rotate it to 90 degrees if its below than A0,cropmark setted and
we can print it now.
38
a
The Epson printer will print the document that have been set by its OS.
39
Meanwhile, I dried the ink from paper using hairdryer that provided near the
machine. The main purpose of drying is to make sure that the subtrates are dry and
not wet when its comes to cutting to its sizes.
Finally, we can cut those poster/printed paper using KW-Trio Model 3022 Rotary
Trimmer following its cropmarks.
40
• Rubberstamp
This job is similar to nametag because I just need to place the information to the
template according to the sizes and then send it to productions.

6. Finishing job department (Diary Planner book)
During at the finishing department, my job is to do various kinds of finishing job such
as laminating, binding, cutting , photocopy and many more. But in this segment, I want
give some exposure to the job that company got which is diary planner. The client
ordered 9000 copies of diary planner with A5 sizes which mean a divided A4 paper.
This book is specifically should completed with art card cover , first 3 illustrated images
and 95-100 pages blank pages inside with black wire o binding.
Steps Taken:
Material Gathering: The project manager (Fithri) is the person in charge of gathering
all the material for this book like , wire o binding , artcard , paper 70-75gsm and the
printed illustrations.
Arragement: Supervisor asked the interns for manpower to do this jobs because we
need to separate about 4500 A4 papers into 95-100 book pages.
42

43
Front Cover and the first 3 illustrations images arranged.
44

45
Cutting the book using Polar Mohr 90CE
After doing tons of paper seperations and insertings, the completed layers of paper
needed to be cut at half because the client need an A5 sizes book. Eventhough its cut
by its half, some of them are custom sizes (nearest to A5 sizes) because some of the
designs are not properly alligned to an A5 sizes.
Cutting expert Pak Husin fully supervises me while I complete the cutting.When the
cutting staff is on break or when the staff requests it, I fill in.It's true that a large team,
not just the interns, is working to complete this project.
46
Making the hole for binding and inserting
I carefully prepared the diary planner for assembly during the wire-o binding process,
making sure that every part was arranged and in the right order. I carefully placed the
pages and covers in the wire-o binding machine, making sure to line them up along
the binding edge so that the holes would punch out evenly. I set the machine to punch
through the pages and covers precisely, making sure to align the holes in both the
47
horizontal and vertical directions. To guarantee a tight fit, the right wire binding element
had to be chosen based on the total number of pages. I threaded the wire through
each hole very carefully, keeping it aligned smoothly and securing it to create a closed
loop. I sealed the wire uniformly and thoroughly using the crimping tool on the
machine.
48
The result after using the crimpling machine.
49
Reflections of Industrial Training
Clearly when I faced the customers, they come like with various personality like nice,
arrogant, weird, annoying, and many more. It makes my eyes open on how an
individual personality or characters they have.
Therefore, it also helps me improve and have progression in printing skills like using
the machine like I never use before like cutting machine,sticker cutter machine and
many more. To complete the task efficiently, I can make the most of the software's
features and investigate new tools. being familiar with and knowledgeable about
printing, laminating, and die-cutting machines, among other types of machinery.
Overall, my internship at Achik Printing has been greatly enlightening and life
changing. This printing company offers excellent staff and printing equipment. Im very
happy and grateful because I have had many opportunities to grow both personally
and professionally thanks to this opportunity.
Teamwork: There has been a remarkable level of mutual respect and cooperation
among colleagues. Working together on a variety of projects, such as creating
promotional materials or carrying out large-scale printing jobs, has emphasized the
value of efficient cooperation, transparent communication, and collective
50
Flexibility: Working in a fast-paced printing environment has improved my flexibility
and deadline management skills. The dynamic nature of the printing industry has
provided me with the ability to remain adaptable and resourceful when confronted with
unforeseen obstacles.
