EPS Styrofoam boxes for professional refrigerated shipping within food, pharma and logistics. EPS offers thermal insulation and protection against shocks during transport. Available in several sizes and wall thicknesses, directly from stock.
Available from 1 pallet
EPS refrigerated boxes are widely used for chilled shipping of temperature-sensitive products. Thanks to their closed-cell structure and high insulation value, they are suitable for various applications within food, pharma and logistics.
An EPS box (tempex box) has excellent insulating properties thanks to its closed air cells. This keeps products at temperature for a long time during transport, whether cooled or frozen.
Combined with gel packs, EPS boxes are ideal for refrigerated shipping. They are widely used within food, pharma and logistics and offer a reliable solution for temperature-sensitive shipments.
The sturdy structure of an EPS box protects fragile products from bumps and external pressure. This makes the boxes suitable for transporting, for example, meat, fish and pharmaceutical products.
EPS boxes are surprisingly light, ensuring lower shipping costs without compromising on performance. Ideal for e-commerce and distribution where weight plays an important role.
EPS boxes, also known as Styrofoam or tempex boxes, are widely used for refrigerated shipping of temperature-sensitive products. Thanks to their high insulation value and solid structure, they are suitable for both daily shipments and large-scale logistics processes.
When combined with gel packs, cooling performance is significantly extended.
At Cooled Solutions, you will find EPS refrigerated boxes / eps box in various sizes - from compact boxes of a few litres to large insulation boxes of 40+ litre capacity. Depending on your application, you choose the right combination of size and insulation value.
Need a specific size? No problem, we also provide customised solutions. Feel free to contact with us for a tailor-made solution.

Our EPS boxes are widely used in various industries thanks to their versatile properties. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), better known as Styrofoam or tempex, is a lightweight, foam-like material composed of 98% air and 2% polystyrene. EPS offers excellent insulation, shock absorption and is moisture and mould resistant.
The insulation value of EPS boxes is determined by the thickness of the walls. The larger the box, the thicker the wall, which improves both strength and insulation. To ensure that your product arrives at the desired temperature, we recommend first samples are requested and tested. We offer EPS boxes with walls from 20 mm (thin wall) to 30-50 mm (thick wall), both with and without leak holes.
EPS (expanded polystyrene), also known as Styrofoam or tempex, consists of millions of tiny air-filled cells. This air acts as an insulating barrier and slows down the transfer of heat from outside to inside. This keeps the temperature inside the box stable for longer during transport.
The insulation value of an EPS box is largely determined by the wall thickness. The thicker the wall, the better the insulation and the longer products remain cooled. In practice, EPS refrigerated boxes are often combined with gel packs, which actively lower and stabilise the temperature during transport.
Factors such as outside temperature, transport time and the amount of free space in the box affect performance. By filling the box as compactly as possible and placing gel packs strategically (preferably on top of the products), cooling efficiency is maximised.
Tip: For longer transport times or higher temperatures, thick-walled EPS boxes combined with additional gel packs are often chosen.
Are you hesitating between an EPS (Styrofoam) box or an insulation bag? Below you can see the main differences between a thick-walled EPS box, a 4-layer insulation bag and a 6-layer insulation bag.
| Feature | EPS box | 4-layer insulation bag | 6-layer insulation bag |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insulation | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Transport duration | Good | Similar | Better |
| Protection | Excellent (shockproof) | Restricted | Good |
| Form | Solid and dimensionally stable | Flexible | Flexible |
| Water resistance | Waterproof | Water-repellent | Water-repellent |
| Sustainability | Limited recyclability | Recycled material possible | Recycled material possible |
| Bespoke | From larger volumes (trailers) | From smaller volumes (pallets) onwards | From smaller volumes (pallets) onwards |
Conclusion: A 4-layer insulation bag offers similar performance to a thick-walled EPS box, but is more flexible and space-saving. For longer transport times or higher temperatures, a 6-layer insulation bag offers even better insulation performance. However, EPS boxes remain the best choice when maximum protection, strength and watertightness are required.
An EPS box - also called Styrofoam box or tempex box - is an insulating packaging made of expanded polystyrene. Due to its high air content, the material has excellent insulating properties and is widely used for refrigerated shipping.
EPS has a very high insulation value. The thicker the wall, the better the performance. Combined with gel packs, the temperature remains stable for long periods, which is essential for temperature-sensitive products.
In practice, an EPS box is often used for shipments of 24 to 48 hours. The exact duration depends on factors such as outside temperature, contents and amount of refrigerant.
Thanks to the combination of insulation and protection, EPS boxes are ideal for refrigerated shipping.
EPS absorbs virtually no moisture, but it is not completely waterproof under pressure. Therefore, EPS boxes are often combined with an inner bag or absorption material.
These are different names for the same material: expanded polystyrene. In practice, these terms are used interchangeably.
Yes, this is even the standard. Gel packs are usually placed on top of products to circulate cold air downwards.
Always choose a format that best suits your product. Too much empty space reduces the insulating effect and can negatively affect cooling performance.
