Tri-Mite

Tri-Mite

Tri-Mite is a form of corrugated cardboard, similar to triple wall cardboard. It is comparably strong, durable and lightweight. However, Tri-mite has the advantage that it can be machined to create 45-degree angles to make very neat folds/joints.

Tri-Mite can withstand over 2.5 tonnes of pressure. It is ideal for stacking and protecting contents and can be further enhanced with RAL colours, stencilling, and acrylic coating for water resistance. Further options include internal dividers, cradles and foam inserts for added protection


Lighter than timber and easier to recycle, Tri-Mite is reusable and perfect for export and industrial packaging.
