Ongoing efforts to ensure accessibility
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content useable.
Conformance status
We strive to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 level AA as our guiding principle for determining accessibility. TriMas Packaging website is conformant, however some pages may have minor and non-critical issues. We are still working to fix these irregularities as well to meet all level AA guidelines.

Additional accessibility requirements applied
Although our goal is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance, we have also applied some Level AAA Success Criteria:
- There exist no images with text or these are only used for decorative purposes.
- Hyperlinks self-identify the ultimate destination.
- Section headings are present to break up content.
- Every action on the site can be performed with only a keyboard.
- Additional web accessibility tool is available on the site to customize user experience.
- There are no time limits imposed on the user, except for non-interactive elements, and no interruptions can occur during regular browsing.
- There are no flashing blocks of content.
Website accessibility is an ongoing process.
As we add new pages and functionality to our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards. We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards.
Testing of our website is performed by our team members using industry-standard tools, audits, color contrast analyzers, screen readers, keyboard-only navigation techniques. You are invited to join and help us achieve higher levels of accessibility by reporting any barriers you encounter browsing our website using assistive technologies.
Enabling the accessibility menu to customize content style
In an effort to further facilitate access to content and improve the browsing experience for people with disabilities, we make available on our trimaspackaging.com website the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget that allows users to customize the design of site elements according to their needs. The software also allows our website to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).
The accessibility menu can be enabled:
- by hitting the tab key when the page first loads
- by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the right side of each page
- by keyboard shortcut hitting (CTRL+U) keys
After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.
