The difference between these two 4G and 4GV UN boxes lies in the inner packaging, which can be inserted into the box. More specifically, 4G boxes are only suitable in combination with the specific inner package with which the boxes have been tested.
While 4GV boxes can be used to transport items or inner packaging of any type, for all types of liquid or solid substances of packaging groups I, II, III.y

UN-certified cardboard boxes meet the regulations of IMDG maritime transport, IATA air transport, ADR road transport and RID rail transport. Hazardous substances include industrial gases, paints, solvents, oils, fuels, acids and other life-threatening liquids.

Un cardboard boxes are tested with a certain type of inner packaging that must be followed.

Difference between 4G and 4 GV UN cartons

4G UN cardboard boxes

4G boxes must necessarily reflect the packaging used in the testing - more precisely:

the same inner packaging
the same content arrangement
same box closure

4GV UN cardboard boxes

For 4GV boxes, it is not necessary to check the inner packaging, as these boxes can contain any type of inner packaging, but you must respect:

minimum distance between inner packagings and sides, bottom and top of the box, fill with absorbent material (vermiculite)
gross weight of the package
close the box and use cross-reinforced tape
