Insulated

Fish, ice, meat, poultry, fruit, and even live bait—When it comes to DACO’s versatile line of Insulated Containers, there is no item too perishable to store. Whether used to process food at a plant or to transport products on-board a vessel, these durable containers provide excellent temperature control and protection even in the most adverse weather and usage conditions.

Commonly referred to as insulated fish totes in the fishing industry, they are a favorite choice because of their thermal properties, which help keep catch fresh and of the highest quality.
