UN3733-labeled opaque PE envelope C5 (100 pcs)
When a 95kPa primary receptacle is used with SpeciSafe secondary packaging, SpeciSafe meets the “rigid” requirement of UN3373 regulations, meaning only an outer flexible envelope is required. These flexible envelopes are made from lightweight polythene and, when used with SpeciSafe, can help minimise postage costs, allowing many specimen packs to be sent at large letter rather than parcel rates. They are available in C4 or C5 envelope sizes, come in packs of 500 or 100 and are pre-printed with the appropriate UN3373 packaging instructions. They can even be customised for repeated sending to the same address if required. Please enquire for further details. NOTE: Minimum Order Quantities Apply
UN3373 Standard – Key Requirements
P650 packaging instructions for liquid substances state:
A. The primary receptacle(s) shall be leak proof;
B. The secondary packaging shall be leak proof;
C. Either the primary receptacle or the secondary packaging shall be capable of withstanding, without leakage, an internal pressure of 95 kPa (0.95 bar);
D. If multiple fragile primary receptacles are placed in a single secondary packaging, they shall be either individually wrapped or separated to prevent contact between them;
E. Absorbent material shall be placed between the primary receptacle(s) and the secondary packaging. The absorbent material shall be in a sufficient quantity to absorb the entire contents of the primary receptacle(s) so that any release of the liquid substance will not compromise the integrity of the cushioning material or of the outer packaging;
F. Either the secondary packaging or the outer packaging shall be rigid.
The packaging must be of good quality and strong enough to withstand the shocks and loadings normally encountered during transport. It must prevent any loss of contents which might be caused by vibration or by changes in temperature, humidity or pressure.
