UN Approved 4GV Cardboard Boxes
Our UN Approved 4GV Cardboard Boxes offer a flexible and compliant solution for the packaging and transport of hazardous materials. Unlike standard 4G boxes, 4GV cartons are tested and approved for use with a wide range of inner containers, allowing you to pack multiple types or sizes of inner packaging without needing specific UN test approvals for each setup.
Versatile UN-Certified Fibreboard Cartons for Hazardous Goods
Manufactured from heavy-duty corrugated fibreboard, these cartons are designed to meet international transport regulations, including ADR, IATA, and IMDG, for safe shipment by road, air, or sea. They’re ideal for businesses that need versatility without compromising on safety or compliance.
Patrico’s 4GV boxes are engineered for situations where inner packaging may vary between shipments. Whether you’re using plastic bottles, glass jars, metal tins, or composite containers, these cartons allow for customised packaging solutions, provided that sufficient UN-approved void fill (such as vermiculite) is used.
Key features include:
● UN 4GV certification for use with varied inner packaging
● Strong fibreboard construction tested for drop, stack, and pressure resistance
● Clearly printed UN markings for full traceability and compliance
● Available in a range of sizes and configurations
● Compatible with Packing Groups I, II, and III (based on packing method)
Ideal for chemical suppliers, laboratories, logistics companies, and industrial exporters, our 4GV cartons offer maximum flexibility with full regulatory approval.
