Packaging distributor RAJAPACK UK has changed its name to RAJA UK, aligning the Bedfordshire-based supplier with the RAJA Group’s brand across Europe.
The company said it supplies more than 43,000 UK businesses and has done so since 1998. It is part of the RAJA Group, which was founded in France in 1954 by Rachel Marcovici and Janine Rocher; their first names provided the company name. The group serves 19 European countries.
According to RAJA UK, the group name gives customers one recognisable brand across those markets. Managing director Tom Rodda said the name had changed but the people, product range and next-day service had not. He added that with peak trading only weeks away, the company had made planning easier through a free tool that estimates the cost of the busiest weeks.
Peak-cost planning tool
The Prepare for Peak tool is designed to help businesses estimate what peak will cost their packing operation and what they could save ahead of Black Friday on 27 November. Users select their industry to see how far orders typically rise at peak, based on benchmarks that combine Office for National Statistics retail data with RAJA order data from 2023 to 2025.
They then enter their own figures, such as parcels handled per day and the number of people packing. RAJA UK said the tool provides an illustrative estimate rather than a quote.
