A method of collapsing a box from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration is disclosed. The method of collapsing a box from an expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration, the box comprising a side panel and a bottom panel attached to the side panel, can comprise bending a center fold line of the side panel; unbending a length fold line defined between the side panel and the bottom panel; bending a first corner fold line that extends from a bottom panel corner of the bottom panel to an edge fold line of a center subpanel of the bottom panel; and bending a second corner fold line that extends from the bottom panel corner to a longitudinal center line that bisects a bottom panel edge of the bottom panel.

A transport box, in particular for partially prepared meals and food, includes a lower part having a receiving space limited by lateral walls and at least one base. The receiving space can be sealed by a cover. The cover has a coolant space for receiving a coolant. In addition, the lower part (11) has two receiving spaces. The receiving spaces can be sealed by a respective cover. The covers can be arranged in two cover positions sealing the receiving space. The cover positions differ in terms of a cooling effect that can be achieved by the coolant, such that the transport box offers at least two different options for temperature control via the selection of the cover positions.

A low-temperature transport device is for the purpose of transporting a transport object in a state in which the transport object is kept at a low temperature for a long period of time. The low-temperature transport device includes a thermal insulation container, a plurality of pieces of dry ice disposed in the thermal insulation container so as to cool a transport object, a support member disposed in the thermal insulation container to support the transport object, and a first space formed between the transport object supported by the support member and an inner bottom surface of the thermal insulation container. The first space is filled with the dry ice.

Disclosed is a method of maintaining an initial quantity of mRNA vaccine cargo in an EPS container containing dry ice as a passive coolant during shipment from a manufacturing site, wherein the initial quantity of mRNA vaccine cargo is shipped to a first depot and then repackaged into smaller quantities at one or more additional depots en route to the final destinations. Dry ice can be added or ordered in advance to be available at the next depot for the cargo. Indicators show the status of the cargo and whether it has undergone unacceptable temperature or humidity excursions.
