Why Large and Extra-Large Styrofoam Coolers Are a Smart Move for Perishable Shipping

Why Large and Extra-Large Styrofoam Coolers Are a Smart Move for Perishable Shipping

Whether you’re shipping perishables for business or packing out a full weekend on the water, large and extra-large styrofoam coolers offer the performance and capacity that serious shippers rely on.

At LoBoy, we build styrofoam coolers for people who actually depend on them — from seafood distributors and florists to outfitters, processors, and event crews. If it needs to stay cold, and if there’s volume involved, there’s no better solution than a properly sized cooler built for the job.

✅ Why Go Large with Styrofoam Coolers?

When product integrity and arrival condition matter, your cooler isn’t a throwaway — it’s part of the supply chain. And cooler size directly impacts thermal performance and packing flexibility.

Here’s why our customers trust large and extra-large styrofoam coolers for perishable shipping:

• Thicker insulation for reliable temperature retention 
• Lightweight, stackable construction to streamline freight 
• Generous interior volume for larger payloads and more cooling material 
• Shock-absorbing design helps protect delicate cargo 

This isn’t about bells and whistles. It’s about results that hold up in the field, on the dock, or in transit.

🧠 More Volume = Better Efficiency

With larger coolers, you can pack more product, more ice, or both. The extra internal space improves temperature retention and reduces spoilage risk. It also gives your team more flexibility — and fewer containers to manage.

If you’re moving anything cold-sensitive, going bigger just makes sense.
