Let’s find out more about these highly-recommended containing boxes that are used among all different industries thanks to their wonderful feature for keeping things nice and cool; especially in the food and beverage industry!

The problems with traditional foam boxes..

In our daily lives, it is not hard to catch sight of foam boxes. This is the most commonly used material for the purpose of insulating, packaging and containing food as well as beverage. Foam boxes are made primarily from EPS (polystyrene), CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbon), micro air bubbles and plenty of air. Thanks to these features, foam box tend to be very lightweight with a high insulation capacity, great moisture resistance and dimensionally stable. They are relatively less expensive than other insulating products, very easy to stack onto delivery trucks. 

Along with its benefits, foam boxes also have their downsides. Firstly, the materials that made foam boxes, polystyrene and Chlorofluorocarbon, are toxic and hazardous. They are not only bad for human health but also add up to the crime of destroying the ozone and contributing greatly to global warming. Secondly, when exposed to sunlight for a long time and went through many phases of loading and unloading packaging, the outer layer of the foam box will gradually discolor, disintegrate and break into small pieces—resulting in an incomplete and unsightly appearance. Thirdly, foam boxes are often used for a minimal number of times. When containing food and beverage, like in the case of raw food like beef, pork and fish, the scent can last inside the foam box for a long time and the material in overall is very hard to clean. Not ony that, It is not also durable enough to protect items during shipping when it gets hit hard. Lastly, foam boxes can take a hefty toll on the environment. It is estimated that it will take up a few years to as much as 1 million for foam boxes to break down completely. Therefore foam boxes after being used often ended up in landfills, which adds to the pollution problem. 

Due to all the reasons above, businesses and restaurants have been searching for an alternative that can overcome the difficulties that foam box has. And so, Olivo insulated box was made!

An actual study case of Olivo’s Insulated Box used for food delivery

During the process of delivering, they have to make sure that the ice cream is at a controlled temperature so it won’t melt away and that they have to be kept cold for another couple of hours while being delivered here and there; despite the blazing hot weather in Ho Chi Minh. With Olivo’s insulated bins, all of these problems have been overcome with ease and the result has left our client very satisfied! This case is just one of applications that P’ti Saigon uses Olivo boxes. Besides, they also us Olivo boxes for outside catering for outside party, keeping food frozen in hot weather.
