New 4GV 5kg Dangerous Goods Carton Designed for NZ Courier Shipments
At DG Solutions, we’re proud to introduce our latest packaging release, the 4GV 5kg fibreboard carton, purpose built for small dangerous goods shipments moving through New Zealand courier networks.
As more businesses ship dangerous goods in smaller quantities, there’s been a clear gap in the market for a compact, compliant 4GV solution that works seamlessly with providers like NZ Post, Post Haste Group and NZ Couriers.
This new carton is designed to meet that need.
A Smarter Solution for Everyday DG Shipments
Our 4GV 5kg carton (200mm x 200mm x 300mm internal dimensions) is ideal for:
- Low volume dangerous goods shipments
- Courier based distribution models
- Lithium batteries and consumer DG products
- Laboratory samples and small chemical consignments
For many businesses, larger 4GV cartons are simply overkill. This smaller format provides a more practical, cost effective solution for day to day shipping.
What is a 4GV Carton?
A 4GV fibreboard box is a UN approved outer packaging designed for use with combination packaging, allowing a wide variety of dangerous goods to be safely transported.
Key advantages:
- Flexible packaging solution – accommodates various inner packagings
- Regulatory compliance – suitable for use under NZS 5433
- Performance tested – drop tested to meet UN standards
- Versatile use – suitable for liquids, solids and mixed contents
This makes 4GV cartons one of the most widely used and reliable packaging options for dangerous goods transport.
Why a 5kg 4GV Carton?
The reality is not every shipment needs a 25kg or 41kg box.
The 5kg 4GV carton is designed to:
- Reduce freight costs through smaller, lighter shipments
- Align with courier size and handling limits
- Improve handling efficiency and reduce damage risk
- Support frequent, low volume dispatch environments
It’s particularly well suited for:
- Lithium batteries (UN3480 / UN3090)
- Flammable liquids in small inner packagings
- Diagnostic samples and specialty chemicals
- Built for New Zealand Courier Networks
Courier providers such as NZ Post, Post Haste Group and NZ Couriers are central to how dangerous goods move across New Zealand.
Our 4GV 5kg carton is designed specifically for this environment:
- Compliant with NZS 5433 for road transport
- Easy to handle within courier systems
- Ideal for single piece shipments and daily dispatch
- Supports safe, compliant last-mile delivery
Whether you’re shipping between Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or regional areas, this carton provides a reliable, compliant packaging solution.
Designed Differently: Minimal Branding, Maximum Flexibility
One of the biggest frustrations with 4GV cartons in the market is over branding.
At DG Solutions, we’ve taken a different approach.
Our cartons are designed with low key branding, so the focus stays on compliance and your brand.
- Clean, professional appearance
- Minimal DG Solutions branding
- Ample space for your own labels and branding
- No clutter interfering with required DG markings
This means:
- Clear visibility of UN specification markings and hazard labels
- A more professional presentation to your customers
- Flexibility to align packaging with your own brand identity
- Because while compliance is critical, your brand shouldn’t be overshadowed by your packaging supplier.
Ready to Support Your DG Operations
Whether you’re shipping dangerous goods daily or scaling your operations, having the right packaging matters.
The 4GV 5kg carton gives you:
- A compliant, ready to use solution
- Flexibility across a wide range of DG products
- A format designed specifically for courier based distribution
At DG Solutions, we don’t just supply packaging we help ensure your shipments move safely, compliantly and efficiently.
