Shipping systems for temperature-sensitive materials and methods of making and using same. In one embodiment, the shipping system includes a cooler base and a lid. The base includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes a thermal insulation unit including a bottom wall and four side walls. A thermally-conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A polymeric bag encapsulates the thermally-conductive member and some of the thermal insulation unit. The outer portion includes thermally-insulating material and defines an opening. The inner portion is permanently bonded to the outer portion, with cavities defined therebetween. A product box is placed in the inner portion directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. First temperature-control members are disposed within the inner portion, with at least one temperature-control member directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. Second temperature-control members are disposed within the cavities.

A portable heating and cooling container for keeping retained liquids heated or cooled in the same compartment. An insulated vessel with a foam or vacuum insulating layer keeps the retained liquids at a consistent temperature for long periods of time. A heating component is attachable to an outside of an insulated vessel. The heating element is not used when the retained liquids are desired to be cool or cold. The heating component may penetrate either a double sidewall of the vessel housing or the vessel lid. A resistance heating element is retained within the insulated vessel to heat the retained liquid on demand as desired allowing for access to heated liquids remotely.

A thermo-protection-storage-cell (1) for the ensuring of a temperature range from a lower temperature exposure limit to an upper temperature exposure limit contains a thermo-cell body (2) and at least one filling chamber (3) which is arranged in the thermo-cell body (2). The at least one filling chamber (3) is filled with a first phase-change material (4) which changes its phase at the point of the lower temperature exposure limit. The at least one filling chamber (3) is filled with a second phase-change material (5) which changes its phase at the point of the upper temperature exposure limit. The thermo-protection-storage-cell (1) facilitates an efficient and safe ensuring of a temperature-sensitive good in a useful way, especially during its transport.

The invention relates to a box for preservation under vacuum. The box incudes a container and a lid for closing the container. The container includes a body with an internal wall and an external wall, the internal wall delimiting an internal volume of the container, the internal volume being upwardly open when the container is placed on a horizontal surface. The internal wall and external wall are connected together at an edge and define a first cavity between them, the edge having a closed contour. The lid includes a body with a perimeter that has a closed contour and is intended to bear in a sealing manner against the edge of the container when the cover is fitted on the container in a closed configuration of the box. The first cavity opens towards the exterior environment through at least one opening.

A temperature-protective package includes a rigid container configured to receive a temperature-sensitive product. A flexible liner is attached to the rigid container such that a pocket is formed between the rigid container and the flexible liner. Phase change material (PCM) is situated in the pocket. The PCM conforms to a contoured surface of the rigid container. In an alternative implementation, a temperature-sensitive package includes a pocket of PCM within a flexible liner. The flexible liner defines a preferred shape of the temperature-protective package. The flexible liner also defines an opening for receiving a product. The opening corresponds to the preferred shape. In one implementation, multiple flexible liners can be utilized to define the preferred shape and the opening.

A cold storage box is provided that allows individual confirmation that stored objects such as medicine, food, and beverages have been managed at an appropriate temperature. The cold storage box 1 includes: a storage part which can house stored objects; a lid part which covers an opening part of the storage part; and a cooling device which cools the storage part, and the cold storage box includes an RF tag provided for each of the stored objects and equipped with a temperature sensor and a control part which communicates with the RF tag at appropriate time intervals via an antenna part provided inside the storage part and stores ID information of the RF tag and temperature information sensed by the temperature sensor of the RF tag.

An enclosure includes a shell including a movable cover, a cavity defined by a plurality of walls extending from a base, and a closure that removably attaches the movable cover to one or more walls of the plurality of walls. The enclosure further includes a pocket assembly that includes a pocket having a folding region disposed at least partially between opposing side edges and a backing panel. The folding region has a closure mechanism for retaining the pocket against itself in a collapsed configuration. Further, the backing panel is coupled to the shell and the pocket is configured to receive a beverage container when placed in the open configuration.

An insulated container for food particulate and beverages is described. The insulated container includes a double-walled structure composed of a metal, and a glass structure arranged within a hollow interior of the double-walled structure. The glass structure includes a body and a sipping portion extending from the body. The sipping portion isolates the user's lips from contacting the double-walled structure. The glass structure may be repeatably removed for cleaning or replacement. The insulated structure includes a deformable flange that secures the glass structure to the double-walled structure. The insulated container may be vacuum-insulated.
