Has anyone taken boilies abroad frozen in the insulated polystyrene boxes. Just wondered how long did they keep frozen for?

Depends how you pack it.
In polystyrene packed dense and then in some insulating wrap it lasts quite well, I split bait into two packs so one is open and the other sealed and cold, it helps if you take the first few kilos for the first day seperately as well as it avoids opening them.
I deliver frozen overuns in the polystyrene boxes and if I want I can load the carp up the day before for deliveries, wait until the even and they havent thawed at all

That's how I send out all of our baits in poly boxes.
Frozen for 24 hours
Still very cold and in good condition after 36 hours

I used to get those polystyrene boxes when I ordered frozen bait from Blake's. They keep the bait fresh but it felt like a terrible waste throwing the polystyrene in the bin knowing it's going straight to landfill. I kept a couple but it's one of the reasons I don't order from them anymore. It would be great if a biodegradable solution was used instead.
Buy bait freshly rolled so it doesn't need to be frozen until you receive it or collect it. Shouldn't be a problem for a roller to roll fresh and deliver to you next day.

When I go I just put the bait in air dry sacks before I go. They keep for a couple of weeks in the sacks. I then take out what I need and soak in liquids to help juice them up. No need to take frozen bait really. Or just take shelf life from a reputable bait company. No difference at all these days now. ccmoore, dna, dynamite, ect shelf life's are brilliant these days.

That's what I do
Just take out x amount of boilies from the freezer and air dry them for a few weeks then hydrate some when needed at the lake
