C&T Matrix enhances Pink Matrix for corrugated amid rise in lightweight packaging trends

Packaging Solutions

As sustainability and cost efficiency drive innovation in the packaging industry, C&T Channel Matrix (C&T) is developing advanced solutions tailored for modern corrugated conversion challenges.

With the industry shifting toward lighter, recycled corrugated boards and liners, packaging producers are experiencing both opportunities and obstacles. While material light weighting offers clear sustainability gains and material cost reductions, it can also introduce unforeseen complications on the production line – especially during creasing and folding.

In response, C&T has expanded its specialist corrugated matrix range, engineered to ensure smooth conversion even with delicate and recycled substrates. At the forefront of range extensions and evolution is Pink Matrix – a cutting edge product born from years of research and development, customer feedback, and field testing.

Manufactured using C&T’s patented Rosadium material, Pink Matrix is purpose built for long run and repeat run applications. Its formulation and user focused features make it a go to solution for converters tackling high volume jobs with lightweight board.

‘Pink has been a real gamechanger for our customers,’ said Howard Mead, global sales director at C&T Matrix. ‘We have added new sizes so it is durable enough for the demands of all long runs, but also easy to work with – minimising downtime and maximising consistency.’

As converters adapt to an evolving material landscape, C&T remains committed to delivering high performance tools that support sustainability goals without compromising on production efficiency.
