FAQs about foam insulated shipping boxes
How do foam insulated shipping boxes maintain temperature control?
Foam insulated shipping boxes work by trapping air within their structure, creating a thermal barrier that reduces heat transfer. Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam, graphite-infused foam, and aerogel-based materials provide superior insulation by minimising temperature fluctuations. When combined with gel packs, ice packs, they are sustainable solutions to ensure that perishable goods remain at the required temperature for extended periods.
Are foam insulated shipping boxes reusable?
Yes, many insulated foam boxes can be reused multiple times if properly handled. EPS foam containers are lightweight and durable, allowing businesses to extend their lifecycle through careful use. Hydropac also offers eco-friendly alternatives, including RecycleAir and EnviroCool, which provide sustainable insulation solutions in the shipping process while maintaining performance.
