[NHCOLL-L:3652] RE: styrofoam cooler distributors

Kathy

We regularly receive extraction supplies in these sort of boxes.  We have a stock of them that we reuse.

This is the sort of thing I am talking about:

Hope that helps

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:3651] styrofoam cooler distributors

Hi all,
I am looking for styrofoam coolers with 2-3" thick walls to ship dry  
ice. The lids should also be 2-3" thick. Small (~18"x12" outside  
dimensions) to medium sized coolers would be preferable.
What companies have these types of coolers? Would I have better luck  
looking at the fish markets, because I can't seem to find them in the  
hardware stores.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks, Kathy
