4DV Plywood Packaging Explained

4DV Plywood boxes for non-specific inner packagings

Our 4DV boxes offer a rigid outer packaging for the shipment of hazardous goods and are a popular choice for shippers wishing to use their own inner containers. They are also ideal for shipping lithium batteries.

The plywood range allows for hazardous goods to be shipped up to a maximum gross weight of 280Kg.

Plywood Shipping Boxes for You

The 4DV plywood boxes are delivered flat pack and easily assembled on site as and when needed. The boxes are assembled & closed using a locking tongue method, meaning no screws or nails are required. Additionally, to help shippers understand how to assemble our plywood box range, we provide packaging assembly instructions with each order.

All of our 4DV boxes come complete with plastic liner bag. Vermiculite, (supplied separately) will also be required to provide cushioning for inner packagings during transport.

If you’re unsure as to how much vermiculite you need, then contact us for assistance. We’ll be able to calculate how much you will need by identifying the void space within your packaging.

We also have a range of hazard labels in 100mm x 100mm and 250mm x 250mm sizes available to ensure that your hazardous goods packagings remain compliant.

If you can’t find what you’re looking for, just ask! We can produce bespoke boxes to suit your size requirements. See our Contact page for further details and FAQ section with some helpful information.
