The new packaging has its own colour branding and will help operators understand the comprehensive range of matrix profiles available from C&T Matrix. 

XTC is an advanced make ready system and is available in over 1000 variations. Made from high grade PVC, its versatility, value, and quality have made it a popular creasing matrix worldwide. In addition to the standard matrix, it is available in specials such as u-bend, off centre, mini, and multicrease.

Howard Mead, commercial director, highlights the role of customer feedback in developing XTC, the world's leading creasing make ready system, saying: ‘XTC has been designed to overcome specific production issues and deal with an ever increasing and demanding range of substrates. We value our customers' input, which is why we work closely with them to understand their needs and challenges, leading to continuous improvement in performance and the finished product.’

XTC is used comprehensively by carton and corrugated manufacturers, printers, and print finishers. Its manufacture in the UK also helps to lower its carbon footprint.
