EPS boxes (polystyrene/tempex) - refrigerated boxes for chilled shipping

EPS boxes are the ideal choice for refrigerated shipping and insulation. These high-quality Styrofoam/tempex refrigerated boxes combine excellent insulation with light weight, making them perfect for transporting temperature-sensitive products such as food, medicines, flowers and other refrigerated goods. EPS boxes are available in various sizes, wall thicknesses and designs - with or without leak holes - so you will always find the right solution for your shipping needs.

EPS boxes (also called EPS packaging, Styrofoam boxes or tempex boxes) keep products cooler longer than standard cardboard packaging thanks to the insulating properties of expanded polystyrene. Depending on the wall thickness and additional cooling agents such as gel packs or dry ice, you can tailor the cooling period to your specific shipment.

Choose from a wide range of EPS boxes available from stock in different litre sizes and wall thicknesses. Whether you are looking for a small EPS box for samples or a larger insulated box for larger products, you will find the right selection tool and products for your needs here. EPS boxes are ideal for companies looking for fast, efficient and reliable refrigerated shipping.

Which EPS box do I need (size, wall thickness and applications)?

Choosing the right EPS box depends on what you are going to ship and how long the shipment needs to stay cool. EPS boxes are available in different wall thicknesses (e.g. 20-30 mm, 30-40 mm or thicker), which directly affects the insulation value. The thicker the wall, the longer the cooling duration.

In addition, the inner size important: choose a box that is just big enough for your products plus any refrigerants (such as gel packs or other cooling agents). Small EPS boxes are ideal for samples and light products; larger boxes are often used for food, medicine or larger volumes.

Also consider puncture holes: for some applications, you want openings to drain condensation, while other shipments without leak holes insulate better.

EPS boxes vs. other insulation boxes - what's the difference?

EPS boxes are distinguished by their excellent insulation value combined with light weight and relatively low cost. Compared to standard cardboard insulation boxes EPS boxes often offer longer cooling periods, especially in combination with, for example, gel packs or other refrigerants.

Other insulation materials such as PU foam or fibreboard may have advantages in specific situations, but for most refrigerated shipments, EPS boxes remain a reliable and cost-efficient choice - especially for e-commerce, distribution and transport.

EPS boxes are also reusable and recyclable, which can reduce the overall environmental impact with multiple shipping cycles.

EPS boxes with or without puncture holes - what do you choose?

With EPS boxes, you can choose versions with or without leakage holes.
- With puncture holes: ideal for shipments where condensation may occur - water can escape more easily, which is especially helpful for longer shipments.
- Without leak holes: offers slightly better insulation and less air circulation, which is suitable for products that need to stay dry.

Frequently asked questions about EPS boxes

What is an EPS box?

An EPS box is an insulating packaging made of expanded polystyrene (polystyrene foam or tempex). These boxes are used to keep products warm or cool during transport, such as food, medicines or temperature-sensitive goods.

What is the difference between EPS boxes and Styrofoam boxes?

There is no difference in material - “EPS box”, “Styrofoam box” and “Styrofoam box” are different terms for the same insulated packaging. EPS stands for Expanded Polystyrene.

How long does an EPS box keep products cool?

How long an EPS box keeps products cool depends on the wall thickness, contents and refrigerants used, such as gel packs. In general, the thicker the wall, the longer the insulation.

EPS boxes with or without puncture holes - what do I choose?

EPS boxes with drip holes are useful when condensation or slush can occur. EPS boxes without leak holes insulate slightly better, but have no drainage for moisture.

What are EPS boxes most commonly used for?

EPS boxes are widely used for refrigerated transport of food products, pharmaceutical products, fresh products at online shops and temperature-sensitive goods during logistics.

Are EPS boxes recyclable?

Yes - EPS boxes are reusable and recyclable if collected separately and processed according to local recycling guidelines.
