EXPERTISES

THE BENEFITS OF THE RANGE

Discover the main features of this product range.

Tightness

The carton is not liquid-tight, but it is designed to work in combination with the corresponding Tournaire packaging, guaranteeing effective product protection during transport.

It also offers excellent resistance to humidity, temperature variations and vertical compression (stacking), which ensures stability of the cushioning and safety of the content throughout the logistics chain.

Compatibility

Our UN-approved cartons are custom designed to fit certain combinations of Tournaire bottles and closures. Each box reference corresponds to one or more specific cans. Contact our experts to learn more about our combined and UN-certified sets.

Cleanliness

These cardboard boxes are custom designed for Tournaire bottles, which guarantees optimal cleanliness from manufacturing. They help to limit risks of dust or external residues. Delivered flat, they allow clean and organized storage before use. They are shipped only by full pallet to preserve their integrity and cleanliness until use.

Regulatory

UN-approved cardboard boxes comply with international regulatory requirements applicable to transport of dangerous goods, in particular ADR and IATA standards.

Each model is certified as “4G” packaging and validated by Bureau Veritas Transport (BVT), according to precisely defined assemblies: bottle type, admissible quantities, authorized cushioning and maximum mass.

The UN marking placed on the outside of the box indicates the authorized conditions of use: packing group, admissible mass, etc., for immediate identification.

These cardboard boxes thus ensure compliance with regulatory obligations, in particular when UN and non-UN bottles are shipped in the same combined packaging.

The cardboard is also certified from a FSC source.

Safety

Its double-wall structure absorbs shocks and preserves the integrity of the packaging inside. Using the associated adhesive tape is essential to guarantee compliance with UN approval, ensuring safe transport of your dangerous goods.

YOUR PACKAGING QUESTIONS

Why use a UN-approved carton when my Tournaire bottles are already UN?

A UN-approved Tournaire bottle can be transported without overpack, but a UN carton becomes necessary in certain cases: in particular when packers require a cardboard overpack, or when the same box contains both UN and non-UN cans. In this case, only an approved cardboard box guarantees regulatory compliance. Our boxes are validated by BVT for precise assemblies (bottle type, number, cushioning, mass), ensuring a fully compliant solution when a UN overpack is required.

Is the carton recyclable?

Yes, our cartons are partly made of recycled cardboard and are 100% recyclable.

Are the cardboard manufacture by Tournaire ?

Tournaire designed and tested the cardboard boxes to perfectly fit its bottles but do not manufacture the cardboard boxes, offered as a service to customers if needed.
