3RD Shell
Third shell
Dust-Free Innovation:
The New Mortar Box Wrapped in Water-Soluble Paper.
3RD Shell is a new, innovative packaging material designed using water-soluble paper and recyclable cardboard.
It is engineered to minimize dust during opening and application, thereby reducing health risks at construction sites and eliminating industrial waste.
Reduces dust by 99%
Water-soluble material
100% recyclable
Zero waste
Why a third shell?
■ Protecting workers from harmful dust
This significantly reduces exposure to mortar dust, protecting the health of workers.
■ Improve safety at the work site
We aim to create a cleaner, safer, and more comfortable working environment.
■ Reduce environmental impact
It is designed with the environment in mind.
■ Patented new design
It's designed to offer both high performance and sustainability.
■ 100% recyclable packaging
Made from 100% cardboard, it's easily recyclable.
■ Reduce plastic waste
No vinyl or plastic liners are used.
■ Clean Mixing, Better Performance. Minimizing dust emissions while maximizing on-site efficiency.
■ Water-soluble wrapping paper
It dissolves completely in water and does not affect the performance of the mortar.
■ Reduce environmental impact
It is designed with the environment in mind.
Challenges of conventional mortar packaging
The packaging of a single bag presents various environmental and safety challenges.
Mortar is composed of cement, lime, aggregate, etc., but conventional packaging has various impacts on the health of workers and the environment.
Solution : Third Shell
3RD Shell is a patented, innovative mortar packaging that improves safety and reduces the width of packaging waste.
Conventional packaging: approximately 16,500 CPM

Zero-waste system for industrial processes
Tiles repacked using 3RD Shells are placed on 3RD Pallets for transportation to the construction site.
Key Features of 3RD Pallets:
-
Zero industrial waste generation.
-
Reusable and sustainable design.
-
High load capacity for heavy materials.
-
Significant reduction in transport costs.
-
Easy maintenance: simply replace damaged parts instead of the entire pallet.
Unpacking a single pallet of tiles at the site creates this much waste.
Process Overview: Optimized Construction Workflow
STEP 1: Off-site Pre-assembly (Preparation) Before delivery, packaging is removed at our facility, and materials are reloaded onto specialized pallets designed for maximum construction efficiency.
-
Benefit: Eliminates on-site unpacking, reduces waste, and ensures a seamless transition to the start of construction.
-
STEP 2: Delivery & Clean Work Environment Only necessary materials are delivered to the site. With no packaging debris scattered about, the workspace remains organized and clean at all times.
STEP 3: Rapid & Precision Execution by Expert Teams Our skilled craftsmen divide tasks to ensure high-precision construction.
-
Mortar Mixing: Materials are optimally blended using dedicated mixing boxes.
-
Substrate/Striper Application: Specialized "striper" tools are used to maintain high precision during substrate preparation.
-
Efficient Back-buttering: Pre-prepared tiles are rapidly coated and installed.
STEP 4: High-Precision Finishing with "Fixus mark II" For tile installation, we utilize our proprietary tool, "Fixus mark II."
-
Benefit: Completely eliminates joint misalignment and surface unevenness, ensuring a beautiful finish and long-term durability.
■Zero Industrial Waste (Reuse & Recycling) Used pallets are collected and reused by our partner, Global Pallet Co. This service is available even after exporting from Thailand to Japan, ensuring that you do not need to worry about the disposal of pallets.
With imports and exports accelerating worldwide and the demand for pallets continuing to expand, we are being forced to re-examine the very nature of logistics.
Introducing 3RD pallets (and trefoil pallets) is more than just a material replacement. It's a "smart investment" to maximize corporate profits while dramatically reducing industrial waste and contributing to local communities and the global environment.
We are confident that Fix3RD's solutions, which combine outstanding cost efficiency with environmental performance, will bring further growth and a sustainable future to your business.
