C&T Matrix rises to the challenge of achieving the best creasing results

C&T Channel Matrix (C&T) is continuously working with clients to ensure they achieve the very best creasing results to optimise product and machine performance.

Celloglas is a UK leading print finisher based across three UK sites. With a wealth of experience from a wide range of markets, it prides itself on adding value to printed matter for brands, retailers, and publishers; often working directly with printers, print management or designers.

“Celloglas requires a very special range of creasing matrix that can cope with a diverse range of substrates presented by the challenging callipers of paper and board – 200 micron through to 1.200 mm – all requiring the optimum crease,” said Howard Mead, Group Commercial Director at C&T Matrix.

By working with the team at Celloglas, C&T has been able to trial and recommend its range of Rapido matrix – a revolutionary new PVC creasing matrix which features a special shoulder radius to optimise sheet transfer, and a routed channel for additional strength.

“Rapido is ideal for Celloglas as it is a flexible matrix with a range of speciality creasing profiles including off centre, mini and multi crease. It can overcome the many challenges Celloglas faces with its diverse range of creasing needs,” added Howard.

Rapido is manufactured from high quality PVC as a single piece creasing matrix for extra strength and accuracy of the channel width and shoulder height. The external shoulder has a rounded chamfer for smooth sheet transfer and eliminates unnecessary stoppages. It has strong adhesion to the plate – the matrix does not move during use but can be cleaned, leaving no residue.

John Locke, Celloglas, Technical Manager comments: “We cannot fault the service of C&T, and their team is certainly an extension of our own. C&T offers technical support, presenting recommendations to our technicians on how to obtain the very best creasing results. C&T provide a professional response and timely deliveries we can rely on which is vital for us to run efficiently and professionally as a business.”
