Unfortunately, it\u2019s not as easy as just looking at the inner dimensions of the box and choosing; there are several factors involved in making the correct, compliant decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Things to Keep in Mind<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Absorbent<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/securepacc-4gv-complete-shipping-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4GV packaging that requires absorbent pouches and inserts<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or if the 4GV packaging requires <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/ab-verm4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vermiculite<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you must make sure you follow the closing instructions and make sure you look over the required absorbent in the packaging.\u00a0 The inner containers are allowed to vary; however, the absorbent system inside the box must remain the same as it was tested in the lab.\u00a0 In addition, 4GV boxes must have enough absorbent to absorb the total amount of liquids you are looking to ship, so be sure to look at the information on the website; for example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pk-3sp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-3SP<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a capacity listed as 4 -16 oz containers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cushioning distances<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to go with a 4GV that requires loose absorbent material, you have to make sure that you pay close attention to the cushioning distances listed on the closing instructions.\u00a0 If you have an inner container you want to ship, the best way to go about this is to take the dimensions of your inner container (Height x diameter, for example) and make sure the 4GV box you choose is large enough. For example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/downloads\/packaging\/pk-packing-instructions\/PK-24SP_inst.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PK-24SP 4GV Kit<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0requires vermiculite as the absorbent\/cushioning in the box.\u00a0 The closing instructions state that there must be a minimum of 2 \u00bc\u201d cushioning distance between the top of the inner container and the top, bottom, and sides of the box.\u00a0 The rest of the void space must be filled with vermiculite as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-874913 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ICC_ChoosingCorrect4GV_001.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"882\" height=\"97\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when you choose the size of your box, you have to make sure you keep in mind that there needs to be extra space for your inner packaging and the absorbent to be compliant and abide by the required amount of cushioning.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Weight limit on the box<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Careful consideration must be made regarding the weight limit on the box.\u00a0 Remember, this is the gross weight allowed, which would include all components. \u00a0 For example, Our PK-10SP kit has the weight rating below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-874914 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ICC_ChoosingCorrect4GV_002.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"117\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the maximum gross weight allowed in the package is 18.5 KG.\u00a0 However, don\u2019t forget that weight would include the required vermiculite as well as the box itself. So if you had an item that weighed 18.5 KG, followed the closing instructions, and added vermiculite in the box per the closing instructions, it would go over the weight rating and would be non-compliant.\u00a0 You would likely have to choose a 4GV with a higher weight rating if that was the case.\u00a0 The total weight capacity allowed for inner containers for each 4GV box we sell is listed on the website for each individual box; this would give you an idea of how much vermiculite weight needs to go in the box.\u00a0 For example, this is the PK-10SP capacity below:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-874915 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ICC_ChoosingCorrect4GV_003.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"803\" height=\"34\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in our 4GV packaging line, please contact us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/newsletter-signup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We have all the products, services and training you need to ensure your staff is properly trained and informed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/securepacc-4gv-complete-shipping-kits\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-873816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/PK-52SPVF-150x150.png\" alt=\"4GV Securepacc Complete Shipping Kit - 2 x Molded Pulp Pods\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/securepacc-4gv-complete-shipping-kits\/\">4GV Securepacc\u2122 Complete Shipping Kits<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pk-3sp\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-857478\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/PK-3SP-1-150x150.png\" alt=\"4GV UN Variation Box - 9.125&quot; x 9.125&quot; x 9.5&quot;\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/pk-3sp\/\">4GV UN Variation Box \u2013 9.125\u2033 x 9.125\u2033 x 9.5\u2033<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/ab-verm4\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-374136\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/AB-VERM4-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product\/ab-verm4\/\">Vermiculate, Grade A4 \u2013 4 cu ft<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/4gv-boxes-variation\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-209549\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ICC_Packaging_4GVUNVariation-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/4gv-boxes-variation\/\">4GV UN Boxes &#8211; Variation<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4GV Packaging has made shipping dangerous goods easier domestically and internationally for shippers with a wide variety of inner containers&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12562,"featured_media":858877,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2402,2413,2494,2661,2740,3047,4000,4007,4008,4037,5085],"tags":[2362,2364,2366,2368,2407,2429,2443,2455,2496,2574,2612,2643,2648],"class_list":["post-858876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-safety-2","category-tdg-regulation-updates","category-iata-and-icao","category-49-cfr-regulation-updates","category-imdg-code-regulation-updates","category-packaging-updates","category-air-transport-popular-topic","category-ocean-sea-transport","category-ground-road-and-rail-transport","category-compliance-training","category-un-packaging","tag-dangerous-goods","tag-hazmat","tag-tdg","tag-49-cfr","tag-dot","tag-regulations","tag-safety","tag-iata","tag-shipping","tag-hazardous-materials","tag-un-packaging","tag-imdg","tag-hazcom"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Choosing the correct 4GV | ICC Compliance Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What to consider when choosing the correct 4GV packaging.
