- Insulated EPS walls: Helps reduce temperature movement during transit.
- Fitted lids: Helps minimise airflow and protects contents during handling.

- Rigid protection: Good for fragile items and high value payloads needing impact resistance.
Choosing the right EPS ice box size

- Small sizes: Samples, test batches, medical packs and short courier runs.
- Mid sizes: Meal kits, seafood portions and mixed chilled items.
- Large sizes: Bulk chilled goods, catering loads and longer hold time pack outs.

Pair your polystyrene ice box with the right cold chain consumables for your lane and transit time:

Styro Box FAQ
What is a styro box?
A styro box is a common name for an insulated EPS (expanded polystyrene) box used in cold chain shipping. It is often supplied with a fitted lid and is designed to help reduce temperature movement during transport.
Are styro boxes and polystyrene ice boxes the same?
In most cases, yes. “Styro box”, “styrofoam box” and “polystyrene ice box” are commonly used terms for insulated EPS packaging. The key difference is usually the size and how you pack it out with coolant.
How do I choose the right size styrofoam shipping box?
Choose based on payload volume, room for gel packs, and whether the box needs to sit inside an outer carton. Avoid large air gaps and allow space for coolant on multiple sides when required.
Do I need gel packs with a styro box?
A styro box slows heat transfer, while gel packs provide the cooling energy required to keep contents within range. The quantity needed depends on transit time, target temperature and ambient conditions.
Where can I buy styro boxes in NSW?
You can purchase styro boxes from packaging suppliers that stock cold chain products. If you need help choosing the right size and pack out method, contact us with your payload and delivery details.
