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 serves more than 43,000 UK businesses and has supplied the UK market since 1998.
RAJA UK is part of the RAJA Group, which was founded in France in 1954 by Rachel Marcovici and Janine Rocher. The group’s name was taken from the founders’ first names. Using the group identity gives customers a single recognisable brand across the 19 European countries the group serves, the company said.
Tom Rodda, managing director of RAJA UK, said the name had changed but the elements customers depend on had not: the same people, product range and next-day service. 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.
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, 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 per day and the number of people packing.
RAJA UK said the tool provides an illustrative estimate rather than a quotation.
