Packaging innovation

Unmatched service and quality

We think beyond the box

Designing specialist packaging is pure innovation. It’s about asking the right questions, using the right materials, and finding the right solution for every challenge.

From designing and testing bespoke packaging to manufacturing the strongest, most fit-for-purpose multi-material solutions, innovation is in our DNA.

Tri-Wall was the first company to manufacture triple-walled corrugated board in the UK. Even the company’s name speaks to our innovation-first approach.

We pride ourselves on being able to test packaging to the highest standards.

Our in-house testing is performed by a team of experts in the field, and our test facilities are UKAS accredited, covering fibreboard, timber, and plastic combination boxes.

We’re in the business of solving problems

Problem first. Product second. Because we have the capacity to choose from so many materials (our Material Advantage), we can innovate around needs and optimise packaging to do more. In other words, we look at your challenges and then design or tweak our products to solve them.

  • Beautiful designs
  • Stronger products
  • Better value
  • Less waste
  • Decreased shipping costs
  • Reduced carbon footprint
  • Streamlined supply chains

Our process

Need your own packaging tested?

Our dedication to challenging norms and testing boundaries extends beyond our own business. Because our facilities are independent, we test packaging for other companies – even our rivals. Designs always remain confidential, because integrity and quality are at the heart of all we do.
