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 R&D, 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 special formulation and user-focused features make it the go-to solution for converters tackling high-volume jobs with lightweight board. Key features include:
- Constructed from exclusive Rosadium™ for durability;
- Extra strong adhesive tape to virtually eliminate delamination;
- New locator design for improved alignment and precision;
- Sharp, easily chamferable profile for cleaner creasing;
- Extended size range to meet diverse tooling needs.
“PINK has been a real game-changer for our customers,” said Howard Mead, Global Sales Director, C&T Matrix. “We’ve added new sizes so it’s 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.”
