Seven sizes, made in the UAE
We mould seven standard fish box models, from a 3 kg Box for small portions to a 40 kg Box for bulk seafood. Every box is food-grade expanded polystyrene (EPS), CFC free, light to handle and insulated to keep fish cold from the market to your customer. Every model comes with a lid, and we can print your logo or name on the boxes.

Choosing a size
- Go by the internal size. The kg in the model name is a guide; what matters is that your product fits inside.
- Leave room for ice if you pack fish or seafood on ice.
- Check the outside size for how many boxes fit in your cold room, on a pallet or in your vehicle.
