EPS Foam Alternative
Looking for an Alternative to EPS Foam Boxes?
3RBOX stone paper corrugated boxes provide waterproof and moisture-resistant performance for selected seafood, produce, and cold chain packaging applications — with a stronger sustainability story and better branding options than most foam formats.
- Waterproof and moisture-resistant stone paper corrugated packaging
- Suitable for selected seafood, produce, and cold chain applications
- Reusable and recyclable packaging option depending on local recycling conditions
- Better branding and printing possibilities than many foam packaging formats
- Customizable size, structure, drainage, and printing for export and retail supply chains
The Problem
Buyer pain points we solve
EPS foam disposal is restricted in a growing number of retail and export markets.
Foam packaging offers limited branding and printing options.
Foam breakage during handling adds cost and waste at destination.
Buyers want a corrugated alternative that still handles moisture and ice contact.
