Tri-Wall Europe Limited

• Work Experience Student

  • Dec 2015 - Dec 2015

  I completed a weeks work experience at Tri-Walls Monmouthshire based samples design office. I experienced how their packaging solutions go from brief, to a Sample, to a fully mass produced package and the time frames involved. In my time at Tri-wall I was taken around to see their mass production factory, as well as their specialities factory. I spent time working in the samples room where the boxes are prototyped. My favourite part was working in the design office where I was given two briefs to complete. The first was for a cardboard shelf and the second was to redesign their card samples box. Completing these briefs gave me valuable experience, firstly on how design teams work together to complete their briefs and secondly on working with the materials, learning the tolerances and specific CAD packaging software.
