The facts behind our cooling solutions
Durable, lightweight, and versatile in thermal packaging
What is EPP material?
EPP material, or Expanded Polypropylene, is an advanced foam plastic with unique properties that make it especially suitable for use in thermal packaging, transport solutions, and product protection. At Coolpack.nl, we supply a carefully selected range of EPP boxes and insulation solutions, tailored to customers seeking high-quality, reusable, and insulating packaging.
EPP is produced by expanding plastic beads under steam pressure and molding them into a closed-cell structure. The result is a lightweight material that is thermally insulating, dimensionally stable, and mechanically robust. Thanks to these qualities, we supply EPP products to companies in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and industrial sectors where consistent temperature control, impact protection, and sustainability are essential.
Lightweight and dimensionally stable
EPP is known for its very low density, resulting in an exceptionally light material that retains structural strength. Even after repeated use, it retains its original shape. With its high resilience and energy absorption, it offers excellent protection against impacts and vibrations—making it ideal for packaging fragile goods, technical components, and medical equipment.
Our EPP boxes combine these properties with high resistance to pressure and shock, making them perfectly suited for repeated use in logistics chains. Their low weight also contributes to efficient transport and reduced shipping costs.
Excellent thermal insulation
What makes EPP particularly valuable is its natural thermal insulation. This makes EPP boxes ideal for protecting temperature-sensitive products such as fresh foods, chemical goods, and pharmaceutical items. The closed-cell structure effectively blocks heat and cold, keeping the internal temperature stable even when external conditions fluctuate.
The EPP solutions we offer are resistant to moisture, oils, and most chemicals, making them highly suitable for customers with strict hygiene or safety requirements.
Sustainable and reusable packaging material
EPP is an environmentally friendly option for businesses seeking a balance between performance and sustainability. It is fully recyclable, has a long service life, and is designed for repeated use. This makes it an ideal alternative to single-use insulation solutions or traditional packaging made from heavier or more fragile materials.
At Coolpack, we focus on delivering EPP solutions suited for:
- Reusable thermal boxes for food and pharma
- Industrial protective packaging for delicate or valuable goods
- Custom applications with tailor-made shapes or dimensions
- Use in extreme temperatures or heavy-duty conditions
Whether you need lightweight, breathable materials for delicate goods or robust containers for demanding loads—EPP offers a high-quality solution for a wide range of logistical and industrial needs.

Frequently asked questions about EPP material
What makes EPP different from EPS (styrofoam)?
Although both materials may look similar, EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) has much higher mechanical strength, resilience, and durability than EPS. While EPS is generally used for single-use purposes, EPP is suitable for repeated use, even under heavy load or in demanding logistics environments.
What are EPP boxes used for?
EPP boxes are provided for various applications that require thermal insulation, impact protection, and reusability. This includes transporting fresh food, pharmaceutical products, chemicals, or delicate equipment. They’re also used as industrial packaging or for temporary warehouse storage.
How long does an EPP box last?
EPP boxes are designed for long-term professional use. Under normal conditions, they can last for many years without losing their insulating or protective qualities. The box retains its original shape and remains effective—even after hundreds of transport cycles.
Is EPP material food-safe?
Yes, the EPP we supply is food-safe and suitable for direct or indirect contact with food, provided the correct specifications are followed. This makes EPP boxes ideal for chilled meal kits, fresh produce boxes, and foodservice deliveries.
Does Coolpack offer custom EPP box solutions?
Absolutely. In addition to standard sizes, we also offer custom-made EPP packaging, tailored to your products, dimensions, or internal layout needs. This includes custom internal sizes, wall thickness, or reinforcements for specific industrial or logistics applications.
Is EPP resistant to chemicals and moisture?
Yes. EPP is naturally resistant to moisture absorption, oils, and most chemicals. This makes it particularly suitable for high-hygiene environments or industrial use where exposure to such substances would quickly degrade other materials.
What are the ecological benefits of EPP?
EPP is fully recyclable, has a long lifespan, and contributes significantly to reducing packaging waste. Its extremely low weight also helps lower fuel consumption during transport, supporting a reduced ecological footprint.
