What is Variation Packaging?
Variation packagings (4GV Boxes) are a type of UN specification packaging, and is a low cost solution to shipping your own containers. Often referred to as "V" Boxes or 4GV Boxes, it indicates a special packaging that has been tested to UN packaging requirements to allow a variety of inner containers such as glass or plastic bottles, pails, cans, and any other inner container specified for Packing Groups I, II, or III. Variation packaging also requires the use of plastic liners and absorbent materials. Meets UPS and FedEx packaging requirements.

Please Note: In order to meet compliance standards, packing instructions must be followed.
