What triplast limited does

Triplast Limited is a UK-based private manufacturer and wholesale supplier of plastic and paper packaging products, headquartered in Hayes, Middlesex. The company's portfolio centres on four core lines: grey mailing bags, coloured mailing bags, bubble wrap, and brown ECO Kraft Paper, with additional bespoke/custom manufacturing capability for specification-driven buyers.

Production is built around three-layer co-extrusion blown film extrusion technology, supported by closed-loop recycling of process scrap. The firm operates from a 60,000 square foot warehouse on 24/7 automated European machinery, a footprint that supports continuous output, consistent lead times, and unit-cost advantages over smaller converters or labor-intensive imports.

Triplast sells on a trade/wholesale basis with a stated £750 + VAT minimum order, targeting e-commerce resellers (eBay, Amazon sellers), packaging distributors, wholesalers, and cash & carry operators. The company offers next-day delivery across mainland UK and advertises worldwide shipping, positioning itself as a broad-line packaging supplier rather than a niche converter.
