Empowering Packaging Innovators
Our Packaging Expertise
At Matthews Engineering, we empower packaging manufacturers to deliver products that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance. Our precision engineering, intelligent processes, and integrated technologies help producers across food, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods sectors create packaging that protects, performs, and stands out — all while enabling greater efficiency and compliance.
We support packaging producers across industries with technologies that enable the creation of:
Flexible packaging
Lightweight, durable solutions for food, personal care, and industrial products that ensure product protection and shelf appeal.
Paper and cartonboard packaging
High-precision packaging for dry goods, consumer goods, and sustainable applications, with excellent print and barrier properties.
Tapes
Functional and decorative labeling solutions that offer reliable adhesion, print quality, and durability across a variety of substrates.
Blister packs and pharmaceutical packaging
Secure, high-barrier packaging that ensures product integrity and compliance with stringent pharmaceutical standards.
Barrier coatings on paper packaging
Advanced coatings that deliver moisture, grease, and oxygen resistance to support sustainable paper-based packaging.
Lacquered aluminum foils
Protective and decorative coatings for foils used in pharmaceutical, food, and specialty applications, ensuring safety and visual impact.
Production Lines
High-performance coating, laminating & printing lines – engineered for maximum flexibility, efficiency & future-ready packaging solutions
Matthews Engineering delivers advanced production lines for high-quality, efficient, and flexible packaging production.
Our lamination systems enable precise bonding of films, papers, and foils for durable, multilayer packaging. Printing and lacquering lines offer high-resolution print and uniform coating application for functional and decorative finishes. We apply high-performance coatings such as acrylic adhesive, LTS, PVDC, and PVOH, combined with advanced drying technologies like float dryers, roller dryers, or the Vacutex® system.
With web widths from 300 mm to 3,000 mm and speeds up to 1,200 m/min, our lines ensure efficiency, flexibility, and future-ready performance.
Customized Rollers
Engineered for gravure printing and advanced coating applications
At Matthews Engineering, we design and manufacture precision rollers that are essential to high-quality packaging production.
Our gravure print base cylinders provide the dimensional accuracy and stability needed for consistent, high-resolution printing on flexible films, paper, and foil substrates. Our coating rollers are engineered for uniform application of barrier layers, lacquers, and adhesives, ensuring reliable performance even at high speeds and across large web widths.
With a focus on durability, surface precision, and integration flexibility, our rollers help packaging producers achieve superior print and coating results while minimizing downtime and material waste.
Barrier Coating Solutions
Sustainable protection without compromise on performance
Matthews Engineering delivers advanced barrier coating technologies that help packaging manufacturers produce paper-based packaging with functional properties once only achievable with plastics.
Our systems enable the precise application of coatings that provide resistance against moisture, grease, and oxygen — critical for food, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical packaging. Designed for flexibility and efficiency, our barrier coating lines support sustainable packaging strategies by replacing plastic films or laminates with coated paper solutions, while ensuring reliable machinability and consistent quality at high speeds.
With proven success in industrial-scale production, our barrier coating solutions empower manufacturers to meet growing market demand for eco-friendly packaging without sacrificing performance.
