A protective bottle enclosure includes a container having a neck, a shoulder, and a body, wherein the neck includes a plurality of threaded portions and a plurality of planar portions located intermediate the plurality of threaded portions. The enclosure further includes a removable cap from which extends a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion, the first and second threaded portions being located along opposing sides of the sidewall, and a first planar portion and a second planar portion disposed adjacent and between the first and second threaded portions. The first and second threaded portions of the cap are aligned with the plurality of planar portions along the neck when the cap is axially inserted into the container.

An insulating bubble wrap comprising a metallized polyethylene layer having a first metallized side, a second non-metallized side, and a metal thickness; and a polyethylene bubble film cap layer attached to the metallized polyethylene along the second non-metallized side.

In one embodiment, a packaging material wraps around an object so as to protect the object from damage. The material has a substrate and a plurality of adhesive members adhered to the substrate, each having a plurality of microspheres. The adhesive members are arranged on the surface in a pattern so as to define first and second pluralities of pairs of linear arrays of the adhesive members. The linear arrays of the first plurality are elongate along a first direction and are spaced from one another so as to define a first bending gap between the linear arrays in each pair of the first plurality. The linear arrays of the second plurality are elongate along a second direction, angularly offset from the first direction, and are spaced from one another so as to define a second bending gap between the linear arrays of each pair of the second plurality.

A utility bag having a plurality of panels defining an interior and an exterior, the interior including a cavity configured to receive an item. The utility bag includes a heater element disposed in the cavity, a battery pack configured for electrical communication with the heater element for powering the heater element, and a controller removably coupled in selective electrical communication to the battery pack. The controller is shaped and sized to mechanically mate with the battery pack for electrical communication therewith.

An insulated bag reduces heat exchange between temperature-sensitive items and ambient surroundings. The insulated bag has a bag body which can be covered by a bag lid. The bag lid is provided with a first portion of a securing element. The insulated bag is suitable for insertion into an item space of a mobile delivery robot. The mobile robot has a robot lid provided with a complementary second portion of the securing element. After the insulated bag is inserted into the item space, the two portions of the securing element are connected. Thereafter, when the robot lid is opened, the bag lid is also opened, permitting access to its contents.

The presently disclosed subject matter generally relates to recyclable insulation material for shipping containers, groceries bags, etc., machines for making the recyclable insulation material, and methods for the making the recyclable insulation material. In one aspect, a method of forming an insulation product may include forming a continuous sheet of paper into a plurality of flexible loops defining a plurality of air channels extending in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with a machine direction of the continuous sheet of paper. The method may also include immediately attaching a first layer of paper and a second layer of paper to the plurality of flexible loops as they are formed so that the continuous sheet of paper retains the plurality of flexible loops between the first layer and the second layer and that the plurality of flexible loops remain unattached with respect to one another.

A protective bottle enclosure for enclosing and sealing a bottle with an open mouth carried within the enclosure. The enclosure includes a container having an upper portion and a base removably coupled to the upper portion, and an external cap applicable to the container in a seated position of the cap. In the seated position of the cap, the cap seals the open mouth of the bottle carried in the enclosure and forms an impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle. A stopper carried by the cap forms the impermeable inner seal between the cap and the bottle, and in the seated position of the cap, the cap is fully seated against the upper portion of the container and forms an impermeable outer seal between the cap and the container.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a base section with a cylindrical base sidewall secured to a perimeter of a base bottom wall and an open top. The base bottom wall is disposed below the open top. A cylindrical body includes a neck section, a shoulder section, and a waist section. The neck section includes a neck sidewall and an annular lip disposed around a neck opening. The shoulder section includes a tapered shoulder sidewall. The waist section includes a waist sidewall. The body further includes a bottom opening and a first internal volume positioned within the body between the neck opening and the bottom opening. A cylindrical elastomeric insert is secured to the waist section inside the first internal volume of the body. The enclosure can surround the bottle and seal the open mouth when the base section engages the body and a cap engages the neck section.

A hydration sleeve can include: a band of sleeve material shaped and dimensioned to fit around a user's limb; a bladder pocket connected to the band of sleeve material; an opening extending into the bladder pocket to permit insertion of a hydration bladder into the bladder pocket; and a mouthpiece port extending through the band of sleeve material. Other embodiments and features, including single-use hydration bladders and garments incorporating hydration sleeves are described.
