A method for assembling an insulated box assembly includes positioning an inner corrugated portion and an insulated layer between a plurality of side portions of an outer corrugated portion, the inner corrugated portion including a plurality of side panels hingedly coupled together, the insulated layer extending around the plurality of side panels, the insulated layer coupled to the inner corrugated portion, the insulated layer positioned between the inner corrugated portion and the outer corrugated portion, the insulated layer including at least one insulation batt, the plurality of side panels defining a top end and a bottom end of the inner corrugated portion, a bottom panel being positioned at the bottom end below the insulated layer, the plurality of side panels and the bottom panel at least partially defining a cavity, an opening to the cavity being defined at the top end, and enclosing the cavity with a top.

An insulated box assembly includes an insulated box, the insulated box including a box, the box including a bottom panel and a side panel, the side panel attached to the bottom panel, the box defining a box cavity; and an insulated panel attached to the side panel, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulation batt enclosed between the side panel and the sheet; and an insulated cavity panel, the insulated cavity panel disposed within the box cavity, the insulated cavity panel including a cavity sheet and a cavity insulation batt, the cavity sheet encapsulating the cavity insulation batt.

A method for insulating a box includes positioning an insulated panel adjacent to a side panel of the box, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulated panel defining a border extending around a perimeter of the insulation batt; and attaching a seam of the border to a portion of a perimeter area of the side panel.

A container carrier and manufacturing method therefor are provided. The container carrier may include an integrally molded body with a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of annular structures. Each annular structure may connect to at least one adjacent annular structure and may include a circumferential rib with a plurality of flanges, which are collectively configured to secure a container. An integrally formed handle may extend upward from the body of the container carrier. The handle may include a graspable region and a bifurcated region that forms a pair of arms that connect to the body and support the graspable region in an upright configuration in an unbiased state. The arms may flex such that an intersection of the bifurcated region and graspable region moves to accommodate a downward flexion of the handle when a downward biasing force is applied to the handle in a biased state.

An insulated box includes a box, the box including a bottom panel and a side panel, the side panel attached to the bottom panel; and an insulated panel attached to the side panel, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulation batt enclosed between the side panel and the sheet.

An insulated box assembly includes an insulated box, the insulated box including a box, the box including a bottom panel and a side panel, the side panel attached to the bottom panel, the box defining a box cavity; and an insulated panel attached to the side panel, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulation batt enclosed between the side panel and the sheet; and an insulated cavity panel, the insulated cavity panel disposed within the box cavity, the insulated cavity panel including a cavity sheet and a cavity insulation batt, the cavity sheet encapsulating the cavity insulation batt.

A portable container and container assembly provides a durable, functional and simple carry-all solution for dry and wet provisions, goods and gear. Exemplary features of various embodiments include one or more of an overmolded pad on the bottom of the container, a removable handle incorporating a releasable retaining structure, a lid that seals within the container cavity and is flush with the outer periphery of the container sidewall and/or has a cellular internal reinforcing structure, a skirt extending around the sidewall that is integral with handle mounts for the handle and/or provides a connection point for external components, and a drop-in tray with a collapsible handle.

A beach toy bucket includes a housing and a rim. The housing has a bottom and one or more walls defining a cavity. The one or more walls include a first end and a second end. The bottom is disposed at the first end of the one or more walls. The rim is disposed at the second end of the one or more walls and collectively defines a shape surrounding the cavity. The housing and the rim are formed from a compostable material.

An accessory for use with a portable container includes a jacket having a storage member and configured to extend around at least a portion of the sidewall of the container and a connection member connected to the jacket and configured to support the jacket in connection with the container. The connection member includes a connector configured to be connected to a port on the container such that a portion of the connector is received through the port.
