HazMat Boxes

HazMat boxes are UN rated boxes designed to transport hazardous materials safely and visually communicate their contents. HazMat shipping boxes have large UN Ratings printed on them, most of which begin with 4G to denote the hazardous packaging type and material.

Note that some boxes are only UN 4G Compliant when parts of a combined package are used, such as foam inserts. Shop UN 4G packaging systems for complete systems or browse HazMat boxes without an inner container.

Before shipping, owners of hazardous material shipping boxes are responsible for classifying and labeling the substance each box is carrying. Keep your HazMat shipping boxes properly sealed with packaging tape and appropriate cushioning, adhering to all “this side up” arrows and instructions printed on the box. Use strapping and banding equipment to secure your boxes during transport, reinforcing the packaging and minimizing movement.
