Insulated Shipping Containers
Protect your temperature-sensitive products with high-performance cold-chain packaging made from Graphite Polystyrene (GPS). GPS offers enhanced insulation and energy efficiency, making it an ideal material for custom insulated shipping containers and six-piece box liners used in food, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries.
Our GPS foam is precision-cut to meet your packaging dimensions and temperature requirements, providing excellent thermal resistance, shock absorption, and structural stability throughout the shipping cycle.

Why Use GPS for Shipping?
GPS (Graphite Polystyrene) foam offers superior thermal protection and material efficiency, making it an excellent choice for insulated shipping containers and temperature-sensitive packaging. Infused with graphite, GPS reflects radiant heat and maintains consistent internal temperatures — even during long-distance or unpredictable shipping conditions.
Key Benefits of GPS for Shipping
- Higher R-value per inch for better temperature retention
- Stable thermal performance for cold chain and heat-sensitive goods
- Moisture resistance helps maintain product integrity in transit
- Lightweight design reduces freight weight and shipping costs
- Dimensionally stable, even in fluctuating environments
- Custom CNC-cut options for inserts, containers, and molded forms
- Reliable performance backed by third-party certifications

Which type of foam is the best for my project?
If multiple foam types are able to be used in your project, we’ll discuss the benefits of each product and decide together what will be the best choice for your project.
Are your products sustainable or LEED-certified?
Many of our products can contribute to LEED points, depending on application and use.
What are the benefits of using GPS foam in shipping containers?
GPS provides superior thermal insulation for temperature-sensitive goods like pharmaceuticals, perishables, and lab specimens.
How long can GPS containers maintain cold temperatures?
GPS containers can outperform EPS by extending cold chain duration thanks to enhanced thermal resistance and lower conductivity.
Is GPS safe for food and medical shipments?
Yes, GPS foam is non-toxic, chemically stable, and meets health and safety standards for direct contact with food and pharmaceuticals.
Can GPS insulated shipping containers be reused?
Yes, with proper handling, GPS containers can be reused multiple times without significant loss in performance.
Are GPS containers customizable for unique products?
Absolutely. GPS containers can be designed in various shapes, sizes, and wall thicknesses to meet custom packaging needs.
