Eco-Friendly Pack for Long Products

Given that many companies are trying to drive cost out of their business and reduce their environmental impact at the same time, a product like Tri-Wall’s ‘Notchfold’ provides an excellent example of what can be achieved through packaging.

Notchfold is for long products, sometimes very long, up to 8 metres. It either comes flat-packed to the required length or is supplied full length for customers who want to cut and adapt the pack for different length items. It can then be fitted with corrugated end caps and lid to create a secure surround. Built into the board are the ‘notchfolds’, unique V-shaped cuts which allow the triple-wall board to form perfect 90 degree angles.

So what’s special about this?

First, customers can have an unlimited supply of packaging in stock for their longer products, ideal for engineering companies. Other typical applications include aluminium or PVC extrusions, pipes, stair rail systems, masts and fabric rolls. The board can be easily assembled by one or two people, creating a pack without any deformation or sponginess and the strength to withstand the rigours of export.
