What Rajapack UK does

Rajapack UK (legal entity RAJAPACK Ltd) is the United Kingdom operating subsidiary of the privately held RAJA Group, a family-founded French packaging distributor whose origins date to 1954. The company is headquartered in Bedford and operates a B2B e-commerce-led packaging distribution business offering more than 5,000 stock SKUs — including 900+ standard cardboard box sizes across single-, double- and triple-wall constructions, protective packaging, envelopes and mailing bags, packaging tape and adhesives, strapping, pallet wrap, packaging machines, workplace equipment, facilities management, office supplies, retail/gift packaging, and food packaging — supplemented by bespoke/printed manufacturing with 2–4 week lead times and sub-brand ranges such as RAJAPOST, RAJABrand and RAJAPRO.

The technology layer consists of an InterShop-based e-commerce storefront with a Box Selector dimension-search tool, a Quick Order utility that accepts CSV bulk-reference uploads, an eProcurement integration offering for enterprise accounts, and content-led guides for selection. Inventory is held in the UK to support next-working-day delivery to UK mainland addresses for orders placed before 4pm, with 99% of products sourced from the UK and EU.

Revenue is generated through transactional product sales (unit pricing with tiered pack/pallet/contract discounts), custom/bespoke packaging projects, and subscription-style business-account contracts for multi-site enterprises and global accounts. The customer base spans a long tail of SMB sole traders and small e-commerce sellers, alongside enterprise warehouse and logistics operations, retailers and drinks/fulfilment specialists. The company's competitive proposition rests on SKU breadth, next-day UK distribution, sustainability credentials (EcoVadis top 5% global, ISO 14001 certified group-wide, 100% recyclable / ≥70% recycled-content boxes) and packaging-advisory consultative selling via dedicated phone specialists.
