EPP Boxes with Partitions and EPP Separators
These are ideal for items requiring sturdy logistical packaging. They are built to last, making them an economical choice for repeat use.
Commonly found in the automotive sector, these boxes provide a safeguard for delicate parts that demand protection against scratching. However, their utility isn’t limited to this sector; electronic parts, delicate instruments, precision equipment, luxury goods, and other items that need robust protection against impacts and wear also benefit.
How They’re Used: Often, Styrofoam boxes with compartments find their place within larger transport containers such as injected plastic boxes, Flatpac containers, or even directly on injected plastic pallets with lids on top.
Advantages:
- Flexibility: The design allows for item nesting, promoting efficient use of space while ensuring safety. This translates to cost-effectiveness.
- Customizability: Tailoring dimensions to fit specific needs ensures optimal space utilization. For items with non-standard shapes or those that are particularly large or heavy, custom EPP separators are the go-to. They can easily secure intricate or complex shapes.
- Multiple Use Cases: After placing items in the separators, they can be housed in various containers like injected plastic boxes, Flatpac containers, metal containers, or racks, or even placed on plastic or thermoformed pallets.
- Lightweight Yet Sturdy: EPP separators are both light and durable, offering excellent protection without compromising ease of handling. This combination makes them a top choice, especially for large-scale production.
Additional Features: EPP packaging can be equipped with ESD properties, adding an extra layer of protection for sensitive items.
EPP boxes with partitions and separators offer a versatile and efficient solution for product transportation and storage. They ensure items remain undamaged and in pristine condition.

Isothermal Boxes
As PPE stands out as an excellent insulating material, isothermal boxes made of PPE are ideal for transporting items that need a consistent temperature. Further, it is lightweight, sturdy, and cost-effective.
These boxes can function independently or be nestled within larger containers for added protection.
Common Applications:
- Food and Beverages: Whether it’s raw ingredients or prepared dishes, these boxes are a favorite in the food sector. They serve restaurants, food delivery services, mini markets, and small businesses as well.
- Medical Supplies: They play an essential role in transporting vaccines, medications, lab products, and biological samples, ensuring they remain at the required temperature.
- Specialized Uses: Certain industrial and military tasks demand precise temperature conditions. PPE isothermal boxes rise to the occasion here as well.
Key Features:
- Lightweight: Despite being lightweight, these boxes don’t compromise on durability. Their design reduces shipping expenses and their sturdy nature makes them resistant to potential damages and easy to stack.
- Hygiene: The closed-cell structure of PPE ensures these boxes maintain high cleanliness standards. They can be thoroughly cleaned or sanitized in industrial washers, and they don’t allow mold, fungi, or dust buildup.
- Customization: Available in an array of shapes and colors, these boxes can be tailored to specific needs. They can feature partitions, various access points, lids, labels, and imprints. Some even come equipped with handles for easier handling.
Sustainability and Durability: PPE isothermal boxes are reusable and also 100% recyclable. They don’t retain odors, are resistant to water, and boast a long lifespan, making them an eco-friendly and durable choice for various industries.

HAVC Technical Components from EPP
EPP’s key properties – resilence, insulation, moisture resistance, flexibility in production and lightweight, make it a top choice for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) parts such as:
- Casings for heating systems
- Components of ventilation and air conditioning units
- Parts like pumps, valves, boilers, control mechanisms, and heat exchangers
Benefits in HVAC Systems:
- Energy Efficiency: With EPP’s insulating capabilities, components made from it can limit heat loss, contributing to energy efficiency.
- Acoustic Protection: Parts like air conditioning units, pumps, and compressors can operate more quietly with EPP components.
- Transport Protection: When shipping HVAC components, EPP’s shock-absorbing qualities serve as a protective layer during transport.
- Efficiency in Assembly: The ease and speed of assembling EPP components translate to reduced production costs, swift access to necessary parts, and straightforward maintenance.

Alongside EPP boxes, Logimarkt can also produce packaging from Piocelan, an innovative foamed resin, developed by a Japanese company, Sekisui. This original material is an advanced hybrid combining the benefits of Styrofoam and EPP. It is lightweight like polystyrene and has the durability and chemical resistance of EPP. Piocelan is versatile and can be used for different purposes in various industries, especially suited for transport trays in the electronics and automotive sectors, as well as reusable thermal insulation containers.
Light own weight: Piocelan is light, similar to polystyrene. This lightness can help cut down on shipping costs.
Strength: Even though it’s light, Piocelan is strong like EPP. This means it can protect products well during transport.
Resists chemicals: Piocelan can handle different chemicals without breaking down. This makes it last longer in some conditions compared to other materials.
Uses: Piocelan is good for transport trays used in electronics and cars. Its ability to insulate also makes it useful for containers that need to keep things warm or cold.
Eco-friendly: Piocelan can be recycled, which is good for the environment.
Cost-saving: Because it’s light and strong, Piocelan can lead to fewer damages and, in turn, save money in the long run.
Styrofoam Packaging: We offer customized Styrofoam packaging and separators to fit our clients’ specific needs. These are practical for various items, including painted products, glass, heavy equipment, lighting systems, and electronics. Whether you need standard or more unique shapes, we can cater to those requirements.
EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) Packaging: Our EPP packaging is carefully designed with the intent to securely hold items, particularly during transportation. One of the main benefits of EPP is its lightness. Despite being about 40% lighter than many traditional boxes, it still provides a good level of protection, which can be helpful in reducing shipping costs.
Styrofoam packaging is known for its durability, often maintaining its shape with regular use. Similarly, EPP offers versatility due to its availability in different densities, accommodating both delicate and more robust needs.
