Packaging of MATLAB code

Question

In the recent question "How to organize MATLAB code?" Andrew Janke mentioned in his answer using classes to organize MATLAB functions into packages:

... consider rewriting some of the code as objects, using stateless utility classes with class methods and private functions as ways of packaging related functions together and providing some encapsulation. ... In classic MATLAB, classes are your only way of doing some sort of packages.

Would you please provide more information on it? Links, code examples to understand the concept.

Loren hosted a guest blogger to discuss this issue:

I made a simple video about this:

Of course the MATLAB documentation for this:
