Meeting coding, labelling and inspection requirements shouldn’t slow your operation down. Matthews helps you keep product moving with accurate, reliable and compliant product identification systems designed for high-speed food production environments.
From high-speed egg carton coding and fresh poultry labelling to pallet traceability, our solutions combine industrial printers, labelling systems, vision inspection and software control so you have complete control where it matters.
Whether you are printing Best Before dates, applying retailer-ready labels or managing data across multiple production lines, Matthews helps you get it right every time.


Egg packing lines run fast and require consistent, reliable coding across cartons, outer cases and pallets.
Matthews solutions can integrate with egg grading systems to automate data handling, reduce manual input and ensure accurate coding across high-speed lines.
Vision systems are widely used in egg packing to scan barcodes on egg cartons, enabling SKU identification prior to sealing. This helps prevent mislabelling and ensures the correct product is packed every time.
Designed for fresh poultry environments where moisture, cold-chain handling and varied packaging formats introduce additional complexity.
Poultry labelling must meet strict retailer and regulatory requirements. Matthews supports accurate barcode printing, including GS1 and 2D codes, to ensure compliance and supply chain visibility.


Outer-case coding and pallet labelling are critical for distribution efficiency across both poultry and egg operations.
Egg packing and poultry processing lines run fast and leave no room for error. Moisture, cold-chain handling, washdown conditions and varied packaging formats all place pressure on equipment.
Matthews solutions are designed to perform reliably in these conditions, helping you maintain uptime and avoid unnecessary disruption.
Incorrect date codes, misapplied labels or unreadable barcodes lead to rework, retailer rejections and compliance risk.
Matthews reduces this risk through integrated coding, automated labelling, barcode validation and vision inspection, ensuring the right information is applied to the right product, every time.
Poultry and egg producers operate under strict requirements, including FSANZ standards, Australian Consumer Law and retailer-specific expectations.
From date coding and batch identification to free-range declarations and GS1 barcodes, Matthews helps simplify compliance through controlled, repeatable processes.
Traceability expectations continue to increase across the supply chain.
Matthews connects printers, labellers, scanners and inspection systems through iDSnet to centralise data, reduce manual input and support:
For egg production, coding and labelling typically applies to cartons, outer cases and pallets.
High-quality printing of text, barcodes and 2D codes is supported across each level. Where direct egg marking is being considered, suitability and certification requirements should be assessed based on the specific application.


Coding, labelling, inspection, software and service from one provider.
Solutions matched to your substrates, line speeds and requirements.
In-house software combined with proven equipment to improve control and reduce errors.
National service coverage to help keep your lines running.
We support poultry and egg producers across Australia, including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Darwin, and everywhere in between.
Egg cartons can be coded using direct-to-pack inkjet or laser marking, or labelled with print-and-apply systems depending on material and line speed. Matthews integrates coding with iDSnet v5 to ensure every code is accurate, compliant, and consistent across production.
Fresh poultry requires durable, high-resolution labels that withstand cold, moisture, and handling—typically delivered via automated print-and-apply systems. Matthews solutions ensure clear, compliant labelling while keeping lines running efficiently.
Producers can centralise data and automate labelling rules using software like iDSnet v5 to control claims such as free-range, batch, and origin. This reduces manual errors and provides full traceability from production to pallet.
GS1-compliant SSCC labels are generated and applied using automated pallet labelling systems integrated with production data. Matthews ensures every pallet label is accurate, scan-ready, and aligned with retailer and export requirements.
Yes—Matthews provides integrated vision and barcode verification systems to check every code for quality and compliance in real time. This helps prevent rejects, protect brand integrity, and ensure products scan first time, every time.
