Stryofoam for shipping

[Fishkeeper26]

Does anyone know where I can get styrofoam to ship my fish in?

I use the 1/2" sheets 2'x4' at the local Home Depot, Lowes or hardware store. One of my favorites, reasonable, easy to work with and have had good luck with it all year round shipping.

Most fish stores have lots of containers that they received fish in. They may even give you one.

I get the 4x8 sheets from the big box hardware store also, usually either 1/2" or 3/4". They cost around $10 and are in the insulation section.

The medical grade styro coolers work awesome but they are pretty pricey, if you want to keep shipping cheap utilizing the smaller boxes then DIY is the way to go.

Thanks I'll go shopping for some tomorrow!

The pink is easier to cut with straight edges IMO... not sure whether it has better insulating properties than the white stuff or not.
