Insulated Boxes
Harfield Insulated Boxes are designed to maintain safe food temperatures during transport and service in professional catering and care environments. Manufactured in Italy by Polibox from expanded polypropylene (EPP), they provide reliable thermal insulation for both hot and cold food service where consistency and food safety are critical.
Operating across a wide temperature range of –40 °C to +120 °C, the boxes help maintain correct food temperatures for up to 180 minutes. This supports safe and consistent meal delivery from kitchen to point of service and makes them well suited to central production kitchens, meal delivery systems and multi-site catering operations.
The EPP material is food-contact safe, odourless and tasteless, lightweight to handle and highly durable. Boxes can be easily washed and sanitised after use, making them suitable for repeated professional use in hygiene-critical environments. At end of life, the material is fully recyclable.
Harfield Insulated Boxes are ideal for hospitality, healthcare, care homes and education settings. They support efficient meal transport for hotels, restaurants, takeaways, hospitals, schools and central catering facilities.
