In summary there is provided in one embodiment a combination of a pan and thermal bag used to maintain hot or cold temperatures of food placed in the pan.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a base portion defined by a base sidewall secured to a base bottom wall and having an open top. The base bottom wall has a base pad attached thereto. An upper portion is defined by an upper sidewall surrounding an internal cavity. The upper portion has a cylindrical body section with a generally constant body diameter between a lower section and a neck section. The lower section is narrower than the body section and ends in a lower opening. The neck section is narrower than the body section and ends in a neck opening. The neck section includes a tapered portion and a straight portion. The lower section can be inserted into the open top of the base portion and threadably and removably engage the base sidewall. A removable cap includes a cap sidewall. The cap sidewall can threadably and removably engage the neck section.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a base with a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a base bottom wall and an open top. The base sidewall includes at least one thread disposed thereon. The base bottom wall has a substantially planar bottom surface. A body section has a cylindrical body wall and a bottom opening. A shoulder section has a cylindrical shoulder wall including a taper. The shoulder section is disposed between the neck section and the body section. The body section can threadably and removably engage the base sidewall of the base. A removable cap includes a cap sidewall surrounding a cap cavity. A top wall is disposed above a cap opening, and the cap cavity extends between the top wall and the cap opening. The cap sidewall can threadably and removably engage the neck section and includes a knob and an extension.

A folding container assembly has a soft-sided wall structure that is collapsible from either a fully expanded condition or from a partially expanded condition, wherein the container assembly defines an interior chamber for storing articles, into a carry pouch format wherein the container assembly is folded down on itself such that the interior chamber of the container assembly is not accessible for use. Accordingly, the folding container assembly has a first configuration wherein the container assembly defines a first interior cavity having a first interior volume for storing articles, a second configuration wherein the container assembly defines a second interior cavity having a second interior volume, wherein the second interior volume is less than the first interior volume, and a third configuration wherein the container assembly is folded down on itself into a compact form such that the interior cavity or chamber is not accessible for use.

Disclosed is a reusable flat envelope bag, such as a flat mail envelope, which comprises an envelope body defining a pouch, the envelope body having an opening at one end or one side to access the pouch, at least one wrist strap attachable to the envelope body by which wrist strap the envelope can be reused as a bag or wristlet. The reusable flat envelope bag may optionally include one or more handles.

A method of manufacturing layered protective packaging materials and a protective packaging product is described. In an embodiment the method comprises the steps of: selecting one or more layers of a substrate; treating at least one surface of at least one of said layers with a coating composition; drying the layers to substantially remove the water content from the coating composition; and applying heat and/or radiation to the coating composition to volumetrically expand the coating composition to transform the treated layer into a protective layer. The step of treating the layer with the coating composition uses a flexographic coating technique.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a base portion defined by a base sidewall secured to a base bottom wall and has a base opening disposed opposite the base bottom wall. An upper portion has upper sidewalls surrounding an internal cavity. The upper portion has a cylindrical body section and the neck section is narrower than the lower section. The lower section ends in a lower opening and a lower thread. The neck section narrows in diameter between the body section and a neck opening and has a neck thread. The lower section can be inserted into the base opening and can threadably engage the base side wall. A removable cap can threadably engage the neck section and includes an elastomeric stopper connected to a cylindrical sleeve. The combination of the removable cap, the upper portion, and the base portion can surround and enclose the bottle.
