Dangerous goods special
When developing customised dangerous goods packaging, it is important to know what steps need to be taken. Dangerous goods packaging is unique in its own way because there are many rules to follow. They often differ from case to case.
The most important thing is always that the packaging is safe and durable enough so that nothing can go wrong during transport, regardless of how the packaging is treated, and that's where we help.
Plywood boxes for dangerous goods
It is possible to make the outer box in plywood for a very safe and robust box. This is usually done when you consider that the box will live on after the initial transport as it can be reused as a storage box for the product.
This box must also be printed with a UN number and you can also add your own print to it.
Corrugated cardboard for dangerous goods
The outer box can be made of different materials, the most common being corrugated cardboard. This requires a strong corrugated board that can withstand shocks from the outside without breaking. We work with two main materials when we produce dangerous goods boxes in corrugated cardboard. Either a 7mm export corrugated or a 9mm export corrugated.
The box is customised according to size and weight to pass the tests required to get the box approved and certified.
It is required that the box is printed with its UN number and it is also possible to add your own print on the box if you have any information or logo that you want to have on.
Inner packaging for dangerous goods
The inner packaging is important in the development of a customised dangerous goods packaging. It is important that nothing can break the box from the inside and that everything is fixed and secure in the box.
Here you can work with different materials depending on what it is and what weight it has. For example, batteries that usually need an ESD-adapted interior.
Here we help to design a customised interior according to what will be put in the box.
Testing of dangerous goods packaging
What is needed from the customer at the time of testing are dummies of what is to be sent. If this is not possible, it can be produced later during testing, but then it can take longer and a cost is added to produce these.
Before the packaging is sent for testing at the lab, we carry out our own tests to assess that we are sending sufficiently strong packaging for testing so that we do not send too weak packaging to the lab.
Once we have assessed that the packaging will pass the tests in the lab, the boxes and the interior together with the dummy are sent to a lab where it is exposed to various external stresses to ensure that nothing can break during transport.
After that, you will receive a signed certificate stating which box and fittings must be used for the transport of the product.
