Insulated containers (thermoboxes)
Insulated containers (thermoboxes) are light, tight containers made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) or polyethylene that maintain the temperature of transported food — both hot and cold. Smooth surfaces make cleaning easy, the material is food-neutral and recyclable. They work well in catering, gastronomy, food transport and the cold chain.
How to choose an insulated container?
Three parameters matter: the size and standard (models in the GN — Gastronorm standard or euro 600x400), the height/capacity and the purpose (keeping ready meals hot or fresh products, fish and seafood cold). Versions with a lid and seal provide better thermal insulation and tightness.

Exact dimensions, capacity and thermal parameters are given in the product cards.
Material and hygiene
The containers are made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) — light, with good insulating properties, moisture-resistant and easy to keep clean thanks to smooth edges. The material is food-neutral and recyclable, making thermoboxes a safe and eco-friendly solution.
