In one embodiment, the pallet cover includes a top wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall, wherein the walls are detachably joined to one another. Each of the top wall, the front wall, the rear wall, the left side wall, and the right side wall includes a first fabric sheet and a second fabric sheet, the first and second fabric sheets being joined together to form a plurality of pockets. Each pocket may removably receive a temperature-control member containing a phase-change material. At least one of the top wall, the front wall, the rear wall, the left side wall and the right side wall may include a plurality of detachably joined portions.

Shipping container for a temperature-sensitive payload. In one embodiment, the shipping container includes an insulated base having a bottom wall and four side walls. A first thermally conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A payload box is centered on top of the first thermally conductive member, and four frozen packs, each having a thickness matching the height of the payload box, are positioned along the four sides of the payload box. An insulating frame may be placed around the payload box to keep the frozen packs from directly contacting the payload box. A second thermally conductive member is positioned on top of the payload box and the four frozen packs, and an insulated lid is positioned on top of the second thermally conductive member and the four side walls of the base. One, both or neither of the thermally conductive members may be removed to optimize seasonal suitability.

An organizer system for an ice cooler, ice chest or the like includes multiple trays of different heights that can be supported within a body of the ice cooler. The trays having different heights define multiple height compartments within the ice cooler, thereby enable different items such as cans, bottles, etc., to be stored with enhanced space efficiency. The trays each have dividing walls that define handles thereby enabling the trays to be removed from the ice cooler. The trays may be supported by a shelf within the ice cooler, or by an additional insert provided in the cooler. The insert may have sidewalls that abut the walls of the ice cooler. Cutouts may be provided in the insert sidewalls to enable drainage. The trays may also have openings for allowing cool air to circulate and to allow liquids to drain out of the trays. The openings may be positioned on the walls, bottom or both.

The invention relates to a stacking container (1) for the temperature controlled transport of food, comprising an outer container (3) with an outer container base (31) and an outer container wall (32) which are connected together so as to form a receiving area (33) which is open on one side. The stacking container (1) additionally comprises an inner container (2) with an inner container base (21) and an inner container wall (22) which are connected together so as to form a container area (23) which is open on one side. The inner container wall (22) comprises an upper edge section (221), and the outer container base (31) comprises a lower edge section (311), said upper edge section and lower edge section being designed in a complementary manner in order to engage into each other when stacking containers (1) are stacked one over the other such that the outer container base (31) of an upper stacking container (1) in the stack forms a cover for a stacking container (1) arranged therebelow, and a vacuum insulating element (5) is arranged between the inner container wall (22) and the outer container wall (32) and between the inner container base (21) and the outer container base (31).

Beverage container packing trays, systems, and techniques of packing beverage containers include at least a beverage container tray including beverage container contoured compartments configured to receive one or more beverage containers in a lay flat configuration. The beverage container contoured compartments include at least a cradle element, a conical element, and a neck support element. The beverage container tray includes thermo pack compartments that house transport thermo packs adjacent to at least a portion of the beverage containers.

Delivering items to users by a delivery organization comprises a recyclable delivery container suitable to hold multiple items at different temperatures for the duration of the delivery. The delivery container may be a cube or a rectangular prism constructed of an insulating material. The delivery organization may position panels in the delivery container to separate two or three compartments of the delivery container, each compartment to be cooled to a different temperature than the others. The panels are constructed of an insulating material created by recyclable layers of cardboard and plastic. The delivery organization determines an appropriate coolant to cool all three compartments based on heat transfer requirements of the compartments and positions the coolant in the bottom of the first compartment. The items are placed in the appropriate compartments of the delivery container. Vents can be provided to relieve pressure created by the coolant.

An implement for storage at a constant temperature has two housings (21 and 22) that accommodate heat storage agents. One heat storage agent (41) is irremovably accommodated in one housing (21), and a hook-and-loop fastener (30) for installation in a storage container is provided on the outer surface of the other housing (22).

There is disclosed an insulated container comprising: an external housing having abase and sidewall structure extending upwardly from the base to a first height, an upper end of the sidewall structure defining an opening of the external housing; an insert having an insert base and insert sidewall structure extending upwardly from the insert base, the insert being configured to be snugly received within the external housing, and the insert sidewall structure having a second height that is less than the first height so as to define a shoulder portion; and a thermally insulating lid having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lid being configured to be received through the opening of the external housing and positioned with edge parts of the lower surface of the lid resting on the shoulder portion defined by the insert sidewall structure; wherein the sidewall structure of the external housing is provided with at least one slit positioned above the upper surface of the lid to allow a portion of the sidewall structure of the external housing above the slit to be moveable to an inverted position so as to engage the upper surface of the lid and to hold the lid in position.

The present disclosure provides a linked antenna pair for a shipping container having a thermally insulated and electromagnetically shielded cavity for holding a payload. The linked antenna pair comprises a first antenna disposed inside the cavity, a second antenna disposed outside the cavity, and a feed line that electrically connects the first antenna to the second antenna.

A robust, durable, easy to use, reusable shipping container is disclosed that is capable of protecting contents from surrounding high temperatures up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit for a minimum of at least three and a half hours. The container includes an inner chamber surrounded by an outer chamber. A phase change liquid (PCL) is sequestered in a porous support matrix contained in the inner chamber, while the outer chamber is filled with high temperature insulation, forming an outer barrier layer that is designed to reduce heat flux into the inner chamber.
