20kg Styrofoam Box for Meat and Poultry Transport

Meat and chicken lose quality fast once they warm up. For butchers and poultry sellers, that means lost sales, unhappy customers and, worst of all, food safety risks. A good box for meat transport keeps your stock cold from the slaughterhouse or farm all the way to the customer’s door.

Why meat and poultry need cold transport

Fresh meat and dressed chicken spoil quickly in warm weather. In particular, an open crate, sack or basin on the back of a motorbike or pickup gives heat and dust easy access. In contrast, an insulated box with ice keeps the meat cold, clean and covered. As a result, it arrives in the condition your customer expects.

Always follow the food safety rules that apply to your business, including your county’s meat handling requirements.

Why the 20kg box suits meat and poultry

• Right capacity: first of all, it carries around 20kg of product, about 35 litres, which suits a full delivery run.
• Long shape: in addition, the 53 × 33 cm inside lets you lay cuts and chickens flat instead of piling them.
• Food-grade: we make it from food-grade EPS, so it’s safe for direct food use.
• Lid included: moreover, a tight lid keeps out heat, dust and flies.
• Stackable: finally, closed boxes stack neatly in a pickup or lorry.

Who uses it?

• Butcheries: delivering orders to hotels, restaurants, schools and homes.
• Meat suppliers: moving cuts from the slaughterhouse to shops and supermarkets.
• Poultry farmers and sellers: taking dressed chickens to market or to customers.
• Institutions: similarly, schools and hospitals receive bulk meat deliveries.

How to pack meat and chicken in a 20kg box

1. Start clean. First, wash the box with mild soap and water, then let it dry.
2. Chill first. Next, make sure the meat or chicken is already cold before packing.
3. Ice on the bottom. Then spread ice or ice packs across the base.
4. Wrap and layer. After that, wrap the meat in food-safe bags and lay it flat. For long trips, add ice between layers.
5. Ice on top. Then cover everything with ice and close the lid tightly.
6. Keep it shaded. Finally, keep the box out of the sun and away from engine heat.

Also keep raw meat and cooked or ready-to-eat food in separate boxes, so nothing cross-contaminates.

Choosing the right size

The 20kg suits most daily meat and poultry deliveries. However, for small home deliveries, the 6kg box or 10kg box is lighter. On the other hand, for big institutional orders or long routes, the 25kg boxes or the 41kg box carry more. For a full comparison, see our styrofoam box sizes guide.

First, rinse it with clean water and mild soap. Then let it dry fully with the lid off to stop smells.
