What are Styrofoam Cooler Boxes?
Styrofoam Cooler Boxes are insulated containers manufactured from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). They are designed to maintain internal temperatures for long periods by reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside environment.

These boxes are widely used in:
- Food transportationFisheries
- Agriculture
