RAJAPACK UK, the Bedfordshire-based packaging distributor, has changed its name to RAJA UK, bringing the UK business into line with the RAJA Group brand used across Europe. The company said it supplies more than 43,000 UK businesses.
RAJA UK has supplied UK customers since 1998 and is part of the RAJA Group, which was founded in France in 1954 by Rachel Marcovici and Janine Rocher, whose first names gave the company its name. According to the company, using the group name gives customers a single recognisable brand across the 19 European countries the group serves.
Tom Rodda, managing director of RAJA UK, said the name had changed but what customers relied on had not, pointing to the same people, the same product range and the same next-day service. He added that with peak only weeks away, the business had also made planning easier through a free tool that puts a number on what the busiest weeks will cost.
The name change comes alongside the free Prepare for Peak tool, which is intended 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, drawing on benchmarks that combine Office for National Statistics retail data with RAJA order data from 2023 to 2025, and then enter their own figures, such as parcels handled a day and the number of people packing.
The company said the tool provides an illustrative estimate rather than a quote.
