Insulated boxes for passive temperature-controlled shipping

The insulated box determines the geometry, insulation performance and shipping format of a thermal packaging solution.

THERMOCON develops and supplies insulated boxes for pharma, biotech, diagnostics, food and industry — from lightweight standard EPS boxes and paper-based shipping solutions to dry-ice-compatible boxes with 70 mm walls.

EPS insulated box, paper insulated box or insulated paper bag — in a standard size or a custom design
Over 100 standard sizes — from 0.6 l internal volume to shipping complete Euro pallets
Wall thicknesses from 12.5 to 70 mm — matched to duration, payload and thermal margin
Suitable for dry ice — all EPS and paper insulated boxes can be used for deep-frozen shipments
Parcel or pallet shipping — formats for small quantities, large shipments and pallet transport
Custom insulated boxes — design, prototyping and series production when standard sizes do not fit

Selection

Insulated box or complete pre-qualified system?

Choose between an insulated box without accessories and a complete pre-qualified system for pharma and biotech.

Insulated box without accessories

An empty insulated box without cooling elements, PCM or a defined pack-out. Select by construction, internal volume, internal dimensions and insulation thickness.

EPS insulated boxes

Paper insulated boxes

Insulated paper bags

Complete system for pharma & biotech

The insulated box, cooling elements or PCM and pack-out are matched to the temperature range and duration, and tested in a climate chamber.

+2 to +8°C

+15 to +25°C

−15 to −25°C

< −60°C

A choice of over 100 standard boxes

The internal volume is the first step. Then choose the product type that suits your shipping requirements. The internal dimensions and the wall thickness help you pick a suitable thermal box.

Selection by internal volume

NOTE: The choice of material affects insulation performance, weight and sustainability. Thermal suitability follows from the tested system as a whole.

Sustainability

Assess the sustainability of insulated boxes as a whole

Material alone is not decisive. Product protection, thermal performance, material use, transport and end-of-life all interact.

Material matters — the complete system determines performance

EPS and paper-based solutions have different strengths. What matters is their suitability for the specific shipping process.

Decision criteria

Six criteria for assessing sustainability

Prevent product loss

Product protection often has the greatest environmental and economic significance.

Thermal margin

Insufficient margin can increase the risk of temperature excursions.

Material and recycled content

Consider material type, quantity and recycled content together.

Transport efficiency

Weight and volume affect freight requirements and transport emissions.

End-of-life

Recyclability and the disposal routes actually available must be considered.

Reuse and return logistics

Include usage cycles, return transport, cleaning, losses and quality assurance.
