Packaging distributor Rajapack UK has changed its name to RAJA UK, aligning the Bedfordshire business with the RAJA Group’s brand across Europe. The company said it supplies more than 43,000 UK businesses and has served 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 comes from the founders’ first names. According to the company, using the group name gives customers one recognisable brand across the 19 European countries it serves.
Tom Rodda, managing director of RAJA UK, said the name had changed but what customers rely on had not: the same people, the same range and the same next-day service. He added that with peak trading only weeks away, the company had made planning easier through a free tool that puts a number on the cost of the busiest weeks.
Peak planning tool
The name change comes alongside RAJA UK’s free Prepare for Peak tool. It 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 per day and people packing.
RAJA UK said the tool provides an illustrative estimate rather than a quote.
