Tempex and EPS boxes: here’s how to use them
Do you ever need to transport products refrigerated? For example, medicines, vegetables/fruit, worms, insects, meat or fish? Styrofoam boxes are ideal for this purpose. In this article you will read what Styrofoam boxes are and how they can help you with the refrigerated transport of your products.
What are tempex boxes
Tempex, also known as EPS or Styrofoam, consists of expanded polystyrene. This material is ideally suited for refrigerated transport of products. Tempex boxes are generally perfect for a transport route of up to 48 hours at temperatures between 2 to 8 degrees. The exact insulation value is determined in part by the thickness of the box. The thicker the wall of the box, the better it insulates. Furthermore, goods can be conditioned even longer in combination with gel packs.

Tempex boxes are very versatile. You can use them for single-use shipping of food, fish, pharmaceuticals and medical products.

In the medical sector, tempex boxes are often used to transport medicines and blood samples. This is usually done in combination with refrigerated gel packs, cooling elements and absorbent mats.
Tempex boxes are suitable for refrigerated transport of medicines and blood samples.
Fish
Styrofoam boxes are also commonly used for transporting fish. When fish are transported with shard ice, tempex boxes with leak holes are usually used. This allows melt water to drain away. When the fish is transported by airplane, fully sealed Styrofoam boxes are usually used. Gel packs, pallet covers and absorbent mats are also often used in this process.
