EPS versus corrugated is often discussed as if one material should win by default. In seafood, that is the wrong starting point.

Choosing corrugated seafood packaging by ply count alone is a bit like choosing a truck by paint color. The visible feature is there, but it does not tell you enough about how the vehicle will perform. In seafood, the same rule applies to packaging: if you start with “three-ply or five-ply?” before you understand the route and the failure risk, you are already skipping the important part.

There is a costly myth in seafood logistics that refuses to die: if you want fewer damages, you need more material; if you want lower packaging costs, you have to accept more risk. In real operations, both assumptions are often wrong.

European buyers rarely judge a seafood packaging supplier on samples alone. They judge the supplier on predictability.

Seafood packaging is rarely “just a box.” It is part of product protection, hygiene discipline, temperature control and delivery reliability at the same time. A format that works perfectly for frozen fillets on a stable export pallet may fail quickly when the product is fresh, packed with ice and handled fast in a wet environment.

In e-commerce, packaging impacts shipment protection, shipping cost, packing time and the amount of waste your customer has to deal with. That’s why sustainable packaging doesn’t mean “less material at all costs” - it means a better fit between the product, the packaging design and your packing process.
