At our in-house testing facilities, we conduct packaging tests to the highest standards, helping to ensure your packaging is fit for road, sea and air transportation.

We also offer a comprehensive range of industry-standard, non-accredited packaging tests, including drop testing, vibration testing, Box Compression Testing (BCT), Edge Crush Testing (ECT), puncture testing and burst testing.

Dangerous goods testing

We design, manufacture, and test dangerous goods packaging in accordance with the United Nations Model Regulations, ensuring compliance with ADR, ICAO, IATA, and IMDG requirements. This ensures your products can be shipped safely and securely. As an independent laboratory, we can test packaging manufactured by any supplier, not just Tri-Wall. Our facility can test packaging with a gross mass of up to 2,500 kg. See our accreditation schedule.

“Having worked with Tri-Wall for a number of years now, they are great to work with and always reliable”

John Richardson
Barbour & Sons

“Tri-Wall does all of our VCA certification and HSE negotiation. Such a strong relationship with HSE means we’re able to push through packaging for international, which is really vital to our business.”

Tri-Wall customer

“We have a unique set-up. We have a huge amount of material stored at a 3rd party warehouse. With very little space on site, we rely on Tri-Wall for daily deliveries, with up to 4 deliveries per day. If we had an unreliable supplier and they missed one day, it could shut down the entire plant.”
