Highest quality and freshness with every transport
Schlaadt GmbH is a leading manufacturer of high-quality thermal boxes made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polypropylene (EPP), and Piocelan (copolymer). Our customized packaging solutions are specifically designed for the safe and temperature-stable transport of food as well as pharmaceutical and biotechnological products.
Our thermal boxes are suitable for all industries and applications—from gastronomy, catering, and delivery services to pharmaceutical logistics—and offer the right solution for all needs and areas of use.
Material selection plays a crucial role: Our thermal boxes are made from high-quality plastics such as EPS, EPP, and Piocelan, also known as Styrofoam® boxes, insulated boxes, insulated containers, or thermal containers.
The correct use of thermal boxes depends on their specific purpose, whether it is keeping food warm during transport or cooling food products.
Caterers and delivery services rely on our thermal boxes to deliver food and beverages fresh and in optimal quality, while pharmaceutical service providers also use our insulated containers. Thermal boxes offer excellent temperature resistance and keep food fresh for hours.

Properties of the Styrofoam box / EPS thermal container
The insulation performance and duration of temperature retention are influenced by various factors such as material quality, ambient temperature, use of cooling or heating elements, and the type of heating or cooling.
The volume and capacity of the thermal boxes are crucial: Our boxes are available in various sizes (in liters), allowing you to select the appropriate size based on category, intended use, and quantity of food.
When purchasing a thermal box, food service professionals particularly benefit, as EPP and EPS offer excellent insulation capabilities and are the perfect choice for food shipping.
EPS boxes are made of expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam), which provides good insulation and is an optimal solution for single-use shipping to consumers. EPP thermal boxes, on the other hand, are generally more durable and thus ideal as reusable boxes.
Diverse Range for Individual Requirements
The extensive Schlaadt range includes thermal boxes in numerous sizes and shapes. For all categories and applications—from food service to delivery services to leisure and events—there are suitable thermal boxes.
The range includes both insulated boxes and food warmers suitable for transporting hot and cold food.
Our thermal boxes are available in various volumes and capacities, specified in liters and varying by model and manufacturer. The size of the thermal box should be selected according to the intended use and the quantity of food to be transported to ensure efficient and safe storage.
These solutions are particularly indispensable for caterers and delivery services to deliver food fresh and in optimal quality. This is especially important when delivering meals where freshness and quality are top priorities.
Thanks to their shape and size, the boxes can be efficiently stacked and stored, significantly facilitating organization in the warehouse and during delivery.
Additionally, innovative solutions such as integrated cooling packs enable effective temperature control. Stackable boxes with precisely fitting lids and bases facilitate transport and provide additional protection for food during delivery.
Note: Complementary products such as cooling packs are available as accessories to further enhance the functionality of the thermal boxes—whether for hot dishes, fresh salads, or pizza. Gastronorm boxes, such as GN 1/1 containers, are also available from Schlaadt.
For even better temperature control, the thermal boxes can be equipped with cooling packs or heating plates. This keeps the desired temperature—whether hot or cold—constant even over longer transport routes. This is a crucial factor for quality assurance, especially with temperature-sensitive products such as chilled goods, frozen goods, fresh meat or sausages, or delicate meals.
Overall, thermal boxes offer a well-designed solution for professional food transport. They meet the high requirements for quality, insulation, and handling demanded in food service, catering, and delivery services for food transport. This ensures your products always arrive fresh, safe, and in the best quality to the customer.

Expertise in EPP and EPS – Materials for Optimal Insulation
Schlaadt relies on the proven materials EPP and EPS, two high-quality plastics characterized by excellent insulation capability, robustness, and food safety. The choice of the right material is crucial for the insulation performance and durability of the thermal boxes.
Insulated containers or insulated boxes and thermal containers made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) offer particularly high durability, are elastic, impact-resistant, and fully recyclable, making them ideal for repeated use in professional food transport.
They cover the temperature range from -40°C to +120°C and are dishwasher-safe, ensuring the highest hygiene standards. EPP thermal boxes are generally water-repellent but not completely waterproof.
Factors such as material quality, ambient temperature, initial temperature of the food, and the use of cooling or heating elements influence the duration for which food can be kept warm or cold.
EPS boxes are made of expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam), which provides good insulation but is less durable than EPP, yet offers a cost-effective alternative with very good insulation properties, especially for single-use or short-term applications.
Both materials, EPP and EPS (Styrofoam), are food-safe and odor-neutral, ensuring the quality of the transported products is always maintained.
Cross-industry solutions for safe transport
Our thermal boxes are indispensable for transporting fresh goods and delivering food off-premises. They are available in various categories and sizes and offer the right solution for all industries and applications—from food service to catering to leisure. Restaurants, bakeries, butcher shops, catering companies, caterers, and delivery services trust Schlaadt to transport temperature-sensitive products and food safely, efficiently, and hygienically.
We also offer specially tailored thermal boxes for shipping and transporting highly sensitive vaccines, medications, or blood and tissue materials, ensuring compliance with all relevant legal regulations and hygiene requirements.
Note: For certain industries and applications, we offer complementary products such as cooling packs or special inserts to further optimize the functionality of our thermal boxes.
Sustainability and Service at Schlaadt
Schlaadt places great emphasis on sustainability: The choice of the right material—such as plastic, EPP, or EPS—is crucial for the durability, sustainability, and insulating properties of our thermal boxes.
