Rigid foam boxes do a fantastic job of blocking heat, but stacking empty ones can eat up your floor space. If you're tight on room, take a look at our Thermal Foil Liners. They arrive completely flat and slip right inside standard Freezer Grade Boxes, saving you up to 80% in storage space while keeping your deliveries cold.

Styrofoam vs. Polystyrene: What's the Difference?
In the Australian packaging trade, people use terms like styrofoam boxes, styro boxes, polystyrene eskies, or even "broccoli boxes" interchangeably. They are all talking about the exact same compressed white bead foam (Expanded Polystyrene, or EPS). They all do an excellent job keeping cargo safe. If you are shipping wet goods, seafood, or ice packs that might sweat, we recommend dropping one of our Industrial Poly Bags inside as a leak-proof liner to guarantee a clean, mess-free delivery.
Foam Box Frequently Asked Questions
Are styro boxes and white polystyrene eskies the exact same thing?
Yes, they are identical. Both terms describe insulated containers molded from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). This material is the commercial logistics standard for shipping temperature-sensitive food orders, cold seafood, and pharmaceutical supplies across Australia.
How do I pick the right size foam box for my deliveries?
Choose a size that leaves just enough room for your stock plus your frozen Industrial Gel Packs. For the best cooling performance, you want to fill as much empty space inside the box as possible to stop warm air pockets from forming.
Do you have these foam boxes in stock for fast delivery around Sydney?
Yes, absolutely. We keep a large inventory of sizes ready to go on the floor at our Villawood warehouse. Orders placed before our daily cutoff dispatch immediately to ensure your cold chain lines keep running smoothly.
