Insulated foam containers are less cost than full size boxes but are still great for shipping or transporting perishables, candy, chocolate or really any product you want to protect from heat or cold at any time of the year.

Perishable products require a lot of protection from varying temperatures

Our insulated foam containers are great for cafeterias, food service outlets, or catering operations when hot or cold food must be transported to remote sites and can also be used as a drink cooler, extra beer, or to store ice for a catering event, festival or a home party. They come in handy at weddings, bachelor parties, holidays, sporting events, and more! Large, organized tailgate parties are sponsored by local bars or restaurants and insulated foam boxes are perfect for that situation. Some of the bars we supply have had crack and peel labels made for the sides of the foam boxes so you can get added visibility. Our foam coolers can also be reused without any difficulty until they get too beaten up and then they are 100% recyclable.

In Wisconsin Church Festivals are a thing. Almost every parish has a Church Festival each summer or fall to raise money for their Church Parish and their associated schools. We would love to volunteer at our children’s school / church festival. One thing they need is lots of low cost insulated foam containers. They along with corrugated trash containers seem to be a regular hit for festivals and parties. The foam containers are often used for food, meat, burgers, brats, hot dogs in the grilling tents and the beer tents use them in great numbers to ice up cold bottled beer and soda or to store ice for the mixed drinks for daily sales. Festivals happen often in the hot months of summer, so you need to be prepared to keep products cold and sanitary and insulated foam containers help you do that. Ice is king at the festivals but for your parties you may want to consider refrigerants such as cold gel packs. Add our Ice-Brix™ Cold Packs or Re-Freez-R-Brix™ Cold Packs and your foam containers will stay cold without the melting ice water.

Our insulated foam containers are used by many catering services to transport hot and cold food locally. We started in the snow belt and insulated foam boxes are very popular with catering services so if you live or work in the snow belt or a cold winter state you know hot food will not stay hot for more than 10 seconds unless you use some kind of insulated foam box to transport that food in. One of our customers uses these insulated foam containers to transport chocolate-covered strawberries they sell at malls, craft fairs and flea markets. She has used the same insulated box for more than 2 years.

Tip: You can heat Re-Freez-R-Brix gel packs in a microwave, and they will emit warmth for many hours to help keep food products warm. Hot temperatures and summer weather can also make it difficult to transport cold food products, deserts, ice cream, pies, all transport better in warm weather insulated from the heat with frozen Ice-Brix Cold Packs.
