CPG first stage is product and packaging design. Matthews provides

photographic, prepress and adaptive art services. Matthews also produces

flexographic, gravure and embossing tools to see it through to the final printed

product.

The CPG product must be date or lot coded to meet USDA or FDA

compliance. Matthews supplies marking and coding systems to meet

this task. Matthews coding solutions are suitable for all CPG product

packaging substrates and operate at fast production line speeds and

high throughput rates.

The CPG needs to take center stage to portray

the power of the brand and to appeal to the

consumer. Matthews provides top-notch

merchandising solutions that have proven

sales-award winning results.

CPG companies look to operate the most efficient

warehouse and distribution centers to ensure products are

readily available to customers and inventory is rapidly

replenished. Matthews supplies pick-to-light, put-to-light,

paperless picking and warehouse control systems to meet

these needs.
