Building what others can't

Engineered for applications that don’t fit standard equipment.

Engineering Edge

With an in-house engineering department and a universal controller designed to run multiple marking technologies from a single interface, we engineer solutions for applications where off-the-shelf equipment doesn’t meet line requirements.

Our History

In 1850, John Dixon Matthews came from Sheffield, England, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he opened a small engraving shop. His early products included military stamping dies, branding irons, and stamps for wooden crates.
As wooden crates gave way to corrugated shipping boxes in the early 1900s, Matthews developed vulcanized rubber stamps and plates for printing on cardboard. Today, Matthews Marking Systems builds on that long history with inkjet, laser, automation, and engineered marking solutions for packaging and industrial materials.
