Who is the 600x400x300 EPS box for?
The product description names three uses. In pharmaceutical logistics it is about medicines, vaccines and other temperature-sensitive products. In the food industry it is about shipping meat, fish, vegetables, dairy and meals chilled or frozen. And as cold transport it suits medium-size shipments that require reliable insulation.
According to the product description, this is the choice for wholesale and export: larger batches of fish or meat and several combined orders. The size is also meant for pharma shipments that must stay within 2 to 8 °C. How long that works depends on the coolant, the outside temperature and the journey. Hours are not specified for this box.
