The facts behind our cooling solutions
Versatile insulation solution for safe transport and storage
Why use EPS boxes with lids?
EPS boxes with lids are a natural extension of standard EPS boxes, offering enhanced protection and temperature control during storage and transport. They are widely used in sectors such as the food industry, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and catering, where maintaining the correct product temperature for extended periods is essential.
These boxes are made of polystyrene foam (Tempex), known for being lightweight, moisture-resistant, and thermally insulating. The added lid creates a sealed and stable environment in which perishable and temperature-sensitive products—like medications, fresh meals, or diagnostic materials—can be transported safely, even under fluctuating external conditions.
Key features of boxes with lids
EPS boxes with lids stand out for their thick wall construction, forming a natural buffer against temperature shifts and physical shocks during transport. Available in various sizes, they are suitable for both large-volume and small-scale uses. The closed system helps keep products cool or warm, depending on the need.
A major benefit is the lid’s ability to stabilize the internal environment, preventing external heat from entering. When used with cooling agents like Phase Change Materials (PCMs), these boxes become an optimal solution for conditioned logistics.
They are also stackable, which makes them easy to integrate into logistics processes using crates or shipping containers. Whether for pharmaceutical distribution, event catering, or frozen food logistics, these boxes ensure safe and efficient handling.
Eco-friendly and cost-efficient
Though EPS is extremely lightweight, it is surprisingly robust. The millions of air pockets within the material give it natural shock absorption, protecting contents both thermally and physically. This makes EPS boxes with lids suitable not only for food and pharma, but also for artwork or fragile goods requiring extra protection.
EPS is also a sustainable choice, being fully recyclable. After use, the boxes and lids can be processed into new products, supporting a circular packaging strategy.
Furthermore, compared to other materials, these boxes are very cost-effective per unit. And thanks to their low weight, they reduce shipping costs. Many clients use these boxes on a large scale—from dozens to entire shipments.

Frequently asked questions about EPS boxes with lids
What are the standard sizes of EPS boxes with lids?
Coolpack offers EPS boxes ranging from 3 liters (internal: 135 x 135 x 150 mm) to 45 liters (internal: 600 x 400 x 400 mm). Various wall thicknesses and formats are available, depending on the application—whether for frozen goods, catering, or pharmaceuticals.
Are these boxes suitable for transporting pharmaceutical products?
Yes. Thanks to their excellent insulation and tight-sealing lids, these boxes are perfect for transporting pharmaceutical products, diagnostic samples, and other climate-sensitive items where temperature control is critical.
Can EPS boxes with lids be used for hot products?
Absolutely. The thermal insulation of the material helps retain heat, making the boxes suitable for transporting hot meals or catering products. They’re ideal for both hot and cold chain solutions.
What’s the benefit of a lid on an EPS box?
A lid seals the box, helping to maintain internal temperature and protect contents from moisture, shocks, and external heat. It also makes boxes easier to stack and transport, both in cooled vehicles and on-site at events or in retail.
Are the boxes suitable for use with ice or in humid environments?
Yes. Polystyrene foam is moisture-resistant, making these boxes suitable for use with ice packs, PCMs, or gel packs. The closed structure keeps contents dry and safe, even under challenging conditions.
In what quantities are the boxes available?
EPS boxes with lids can be ordered individually, in small batches, or in bulk quantities. Larger orders benefit from lower unit prices. Coolpack is happy to advise you on the best configuration for your product line or logistics flow.
Are the boxes sustainable and recyclable?
Yes. Tempex (EPS) is a recyclable material that is lightweight and has a low environmental impact during transport. Its shock-absorbing properties and long lifespan make these boxes a smart, responsible choice for companies seeking efficient and eco-conscious packaging.
