UN Packaging

What is UN approved packaging?

UN approved packaging is a type of box or liner that has been produced, tested, and certified by the United Nations in order to safely transport dangerous materials – solid or liquid. UN boxes and UN certified packaging is developed for its durability, stability and water absorption. Doing so assures its efficacy in safely transporting high-risk goods, including infectious substances, flammable items and liquids, chemicals, toxic substances, pesticides and more.

Find the right UN approved packaging for your goods 

There are many types of containers, materials, and packaging groups that fall within this line of products. Challenge Packaging specialises in the following:

• UN approved boxes – Boxes approved for meeting UN standards to carry hazardous goods by rail, air, land, and sea.
• UN certified liners – Polythene bags that are certified to carry dangerous items even without using UN approved boxes. The box or liner you use will depend on the amount of goods classified by its 4G or 4GV rating.
