In geology, maintaining the integrity of core samples is essential not only during extraction, but also throughout transport and storage. At Geofactory, we recognize that proper handling after coring is just as critical as the sampling process itself. To support this, we offer a full range of packaging and transportation solutions designed to ensure that geological samples arrive intact and ready for analysis. Our leading products in this category are the Geobox Polyp, Geobox Core Container, and Geobox Cooler.
1. Geobox Polyp – Lightweight and Reliable Core Box for Field Use and Long-Term Storage
The Geobox Polyp is a lightweight core box made from fluted polypropylene, engineered for daily use on exploration sites. It offers high mechanical strength and excellent resistance to moisture, dust, and UV exposure, making it suitable for rugged field conditions.
Internally, it features a compartmentalized structure that secures core sections and minimizes risk of breakage or sample loss.
It is available in standard formats (AQ, HQ, PQ) to match common core diameters. In addition to field handling, the Geobox Polyp is also ideal for long-term storage in warehouses or core libraries. Its corrosion-free materials, rigid structure, and stackable design allow it to safely preserve geological samples over extended periods while ensuring easy retrieval and traceability.
2. Geobox Core Container – Secure Air Transport and Impact Protection
The Geobox Core Container is a highperformance solution designed for long-distance and international
shipping, including air transport. It is made from durable polymers and includes shock-absorbent foam
inserts, ensuring that fragile or fractured cores remain protected during transit.
Its waterproof construction shields samples from moisture and environmental changes—particularly important for fluid-saturated rocks or sensitive formations. Certain models include passive temperature control systems, preserving the core’s properties even during travel across regions with varying climates.
The Geobox Core Container can be customized based on the number of compartments, foam type, and closure system, making it a trusted choice for geological laboratories, service companies, and core repositories where safe transportation is a priority.
3. Geobox Cooler – Temperature-Controlled Transportation with Eutectic Plate
For SCAL (Special Core Analysis) or programs involving fluid-saturated cores, maintaining low temperatures is essential to avoid sample degradation. The Geobox Cooler is Geofactory’s insulated transport system built for this purpose.
Each unit includes a rechargeable eutectic plate, allowing the internal temperature to be stabilized without the need for external power. This passive cooling system is especially valuable in remote areas or during extended shipments where traditional refrigeration is unavailable.
With its thick insulation, reinforced casing, and compact format, the Geobox Cooler is well suited for transporting core plugs or small diameter cores. It is widely used in carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, petrophysical labs, and field campaigns that require cold-chain compliance.
Complete Solutions for Geological Sample Transportation
All Geobox solutions are developed in close collaboration with geologists, technicians, and logistics professionals. Whether used in the field or in laboratories, each model supports safe handling, traceability, and optimal sample protection.
From robust plastic boxes for daily drilling operations to impact-resistant containers and temperature-controlled coolers for advanced research, Geofactory delivers comprehensive tools for core sample logistics trusted worldwide by clients in the mining, oil & gas, geotechnical, and academic sectors.
Because every core sample holds critical data, and it deserves to travel safely.
