At Dry Ice Africa, we provide high-quality polystyrene containers and cooler boxes, engineered for exceptional insulation and durability. With over two decades of experience since 1994, we are a leading supplier of cold chain solutions across South Africa and the broader African continent.
Our commitment is to deliver reliable and cost-effective packaging that ensures your temperature-sensitive goods remain protected during transit and storage. We offer an extended range of polystyrene containers for sale, with a wide selection available, ranging from small 4-litre to large 80-litre capacities.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a high-performance packaging material widely recognised for its excellent thermal insulation. Its closed-cell structure significantly limits heat transfer, making it ideal for preserving cold chain integrity across industries—from beachfront beverage sales to fishing and pharmaceutical logistics. Polystyrene containers are lightweight yet robust, offering reliable shock absorption without adding to transport costs.
They are moisture-resistant, helping protect contents from humidity, dampness, and microbial contamination. This hygienic advantage makes them ideal for storing perishables. EPS is also highly cost-effective and reusable, offering long-term value through repeated use and easy cleaning. Available in a range of sizes and shapes, our containers suit various applications, providing a versatile, efficient, and eco-conscious solution for cold storage and transport.
Our polystyrene containers are indispensable across numerous sectors requiring precise temperature management, offering peace of mind when keeping essentials cool during your next fishing, hunting, or camping trip.
Our expanded polystyrene (EPS) containers are engineered to work seamlessly with dry ice, delivering powerful, residue-free cooling at -78.5°C. While EPS alone offers excellent insulation, adding dry ice pellets extends temperature control—ideal for transporting pharmaceuticals, seafood, or perishables. Dry ice absorbs ambient heat and actively cools room-temperature items.
Tips for Best Use:
Dry Ice Africa maintains an extensive inventory of polystyrene storage containers to meet diverse needs. Stock is always available, and the general public is welcome to visit our production facility to choose the ideal container. Our variety includes:

In South Africa, polystyrene packaging is recognized for its light environmental footprint compared to some alternatives. It is lightweight, which reduces transportation emissions, and some forms are recyclable. The fact that they are composed of 95 percent air is a notable feature. We adhere to best practices for sustainable manufacturing and encourage proper disposal and recycling where facilities exist. It is recommended that polystyrene containers be thrown away in a landfill or given to a recycling company that specialises in handling such waste.
Polystyrene’s closed-cell structure traps air in tiny bubbles, reducing heat transfer through conduction and convection. Air is a poor heat conductor, making EPS highly effective for temperature stability.
Yes, they insulate both hot and cold contents. However, always check local regulations—e.g., Zimbabwe has banned food-grade polystyrene.
Typically 18–24 hours, depending on container quality, dry ice quantity, ambient temperature, and how often it’s opened. Water ice lasts 12–24 hours in similar conditions.
In South Africa, some EPS types are recyclable. Check with local recycling centres or use specialised disposal services.
Yes, in South Africa. However, Zimbabwe restricts EPS for food due to environmental and health concerns.
We offer 4 L to 80 L containers, including fish, medical, and custom DryIceTainers.
Wear gloves, ventilate spaces, and never seal dry ice in airtight containers due to CO₂ gas release.
