Beverage container packing assemblies and methods are disclosed. A beverage container packing assembly includes a bottom tray, center support, and a top tray. The bottom tray defines first compartments. The first compartments may be configured to receive a first portion of a beverage container. The bottom tray includes one or more first support columns. The center support defines through holes. Each of the through holes is configured to receive a second portion of a beverage container therethrough. The center support is configured to accommodate a thermo pack. The top tray defines second compartments. Each of the second compartments is configured to receive a third portion of a beverage container. The top tray is configured to accommodate the thermo pack between a first row and a second row of the second compartments.

A pallet for shipping goods, the pallet having a rigid member, a phase change material, and a temperature indicator. The rigid member includes a phase change material compartment. A phase change material is disposed in the phase change material compartment. The temperature indicator indicates a thermal state of the pallet.

Containers with one or more tray retention portions and a support stand are described. For example, a container can include: a substantially hollow body including a plurality of body walls extending vertically from a bottom portion; an extension portion rotatably coupled to an outward-facing surface of a body wall among the plurality of body walls, the extension portion configured to rotate to an active position in which the extension portion extends outwardly from the body wall; and a support stand having a proximal end coupled to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a distal end, the support stand configured to move between at least a stowed position in which the support stand is positioned against or proximate to the outward-facing surface of the body wall and a support position in which the support stand extends outwardly from the body wall.

Provided is a transport method that makes it possible to maintain a low-temperature state of a target object without using a refrigerant such as dry ice and to realize a high transport efficiency. The transport method includes: a precooling step of precooling a target object; an enclosing step of enclosing the precooled target object by an insulating material panel (front plate 10, rear plate 20, side plates 30, bottom plate 40, and top plate 50); and a transport step of transporting the target object enclosed by the insulating material panel.

A carrier for holding food and at least one drink is disclosed wherein the carrier comprises a housing having a top opening, the housing being adapted to have placed therein prepared food from a supplier of cooked take-out food; a lid portion, the lid portion being mateable to the housing such that the lid portion covers at least a portion of the top opening when mated to the housing, the lid having therein a receptacle area for accepting a separate drink carrier that is adapted to hold a plurality of drinks, at least two of the plurality of drinks being holdable in respective individual accommodations of the drink carrier; and at least one strap coupled to the housing for fastening the carrier to a vehicle.

Provided is a folding packaging cooler box convertible from a box mode to an unfolding mode or vice versa, comprising: a box portion having a bottom portion, sidewall portions and joint portions configured to connect with one another and to form a single plane in the unfolding mode; and a cooling reinforcing portion configured to be inserted to the inside of the box and to form a hexahedron shape together with said box portion when said box portion is converted into the box mode, wherein said cooling reinforcing portion comprises a reinforcing bottom portion configured to form a lower surface and to face the bottom portion of the said box portion upon conversion into the box mode; reinforcing sidewall portions configured to connect with the said reinforcing bottom portion and to face the sidewall portions of said box portion; and reinforcing joint portions configured to join said reinforcing sidewall portions, to be folded to face itself and to be in close contact with the reinforcing sidewall portions, upon conversion into the box mode, and wherein said reinforcing bottom portion, said reinforcing sidewall portions and reinforcing joint portions form a single plane in the unfolding mode.

An insulated cooler for storing beverages or other items. An embodiment of a cooler may include an insulated container having an opening disposed through a sidewall thereof to provide access to an interior volume; and a storage drawer defining a storage area for storing one or more items. The storage drawer is slidably coupled to the insulated container and slidably moveable through the opening between a first position in which the storage area of the storage drawer is disposed within the interior volume, and a second position in which the storage area of the storage drawer is withdrawn from the interior volume. In some embodiments, the storage drawer may include a stop member configured to engage the insulated container to prevent the storage drawer from disengaging from the insulated container when the storage drawer is slid into the second position.

The present invention relates to a structure which may include an outer housing, an inner lining, an insulation space in between, a top, an inner platform, a charging station, a wireless charging panel, power-assist wheels with intelligent torque control for transport, a storage compartment, a removable innner liner, and a handle. The structure may comprise a portable container, such as an insulated cooler for storing cooled food and beverages for social and leisure activities.
