Cardboard boxes
At Patrico, we supply a comprehensive range of UN-certified fibreboard cartons, including both 4G and 4GV cardboard boxes, ideal for the safe storage and transport of hazardous materials. These durable, heavy-duty cartons are specifically designed to house a variety of inner packaging types, offering peace of mind for businesses working with dangerous goods.
UN-Compliant Fibreboard Cartons for Dangerous Goods Packaging
Constructed from high-performance corrugated fibreboard, these boxes meet rigorous UN performance standards for drop resistance, stacking strength, and pressure resistance. Whether shipping by road, air, or sea, our cartons are trusted by industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.
We stock two key types of UN cartons to meet regulatory and operational needs:
● 4G Cartons – Must be used with pre-tested inner packaging approved as part of a UN combination pack
● 4GV Cartons – Offer greater flexibility and can be used with various inner containers, provided the correct void fill is used
Both types are clearly marked with UN certification codes and are compliant with ADR, IATA, and IMDG transport regulations. With a range of sizes available, our fibreboard cartons are ideal as secondary packaging for bottles, cans, jars, and other containers that require secure,
regulation-compliant transit.
