A customizable storage container is provided. The device includes a shell member comprised of a shell base and at least one shell sidewall disposed around a perimeter of the shell base, thereby defining a shell interior volume. A lid is rotatably secured to an open end of the shell sidewall and is secured to the shell sidewall by a shell closure. The shell member is disposed around an insulation material, and the insulation material is further disposed around a storage compartment. The storage compartment is comprised of a storage base and at least one storage sidewall disposed around a perimeter of the storage base, thereby defining a storage interior volume. A pouch is disposed on an exterior surface of the shell member. The pouch and the shell member include a cleanable material that can be drawn on by a marking material. The cleanable material can be cleaned off and reused.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure may also prevent any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. The insulating device may include a back panel support structure and shoulder straps allowing the device to be worn as a backpack. This construction results in an insulating chamber that is substantially impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

An insulation system for beverage containers comprising: an inner container surrounding a plurality of cylindrical beverage containers contained in an inner container; a handle included in an inner container top panel; an outer container having a cavity defined in the outer container for receiving the inner container; a pair of lateral spacers disposed lengthwise along corresponding inner upper corners of the out container; an airspace defined between an inner container side panel and an external container side panel having a polygon cross-section; and, a handle access opening centrally defined in an outer container top panel allowing access to the handle of the inner container so that the beverage containers, inner container and out container can be transported using the handle wherein the width of the handle access opening is about one third the length of the outer panel top opening.

This invention in provides an a method to attach a handle to a generally rounded shipping container by attaching each end of a handle to opposite ends of a generally rounded shipping container to form a handle assembly made of a plurality of end cap units, each of the plurality of end cap units having an internal partition with a slit configured to retain a buckle, wherein the buckle is connected to a handle. This invention also provides an assembly made of plurality of retaining tabs each with a slit configured to retain one side of a handle and the handle connected to said plurality of retaining tabs and a plurality caps configured to retain said plurality of retaining tabs to affix a handle to said shipping container. The assembly, in an exemplary embodiment, can include a retaining tab made of a plurality of generally flat first retaining element and generally flat second retaining element.

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.

A food delivery system configured for transportation of a food product from a production site to a consumer site is disclosed having a chamber configured for housing a packaged ready-to-eat meal. The chamber defines an internal environment wherein the food product is received. The system also includes environmental temperature and humidity sensors associated with the chamber, one or more conditioning devices, associated with the chamber in such a way to condition one or more parameters of said internal environment, and a control unit, configured so that the parameters of the internal environment are continuously and adaptively adjusted so as to preserve the food product between the production site and the consumer site.

A container is disclosed that has a base and a lid that is rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The lid may be secured to the base with a latch assembly. A latch assembly may have a locked position and an unlocked position.
