A thermal container includes a cover and a main body. The cover is opened and closed relative to the main body through an opening-closing assembly. The cover is formed with a sealing protrusion extending toward the main body. The main body is formed with an annular retaining wall extending from an upper portion of an inner wall of the main body. A sealing ring is provided at the mating portion between the cover and the main body. The thermal container realizes the sealing through the sealing protrusion and the retaining wall, and the sealing ring is provided to further enhance the airtightness, preventing the gas or liquid from leaking out from the gap of the opening-opening assembly, and improving the thermal insulation performance of the container.

A thermal container includes a cover, a main body, an opening-closing assembly, and a sealing ring. The main body is formed with a storage space. The opening-closing assembly includes an upper connecting member that is hermetically connected to the cover and a lower connecting member that is hermetically connected to an opening of the storage space. Rear ends of the upper connecting member and the lower connecting member are pivotally connected together. Front ends of the upper connecting member and the lower connecting member are provided with a locking mechanism. The lower connecting member is formed with a through hole communicating with the storage space. The upper connecting member is provided with a protruding portion matching the through hole. The sealing ring is hermetically fitted between the through hole and the protruding portion.

The present invention provides a thermally insulated shipping container 1 comprising a thermally insulating layer 5 defining a first void, a main layer 9, 10, 11 containing phase change material (main PCM layer) within the first void and defining a second void within the first void, a barrier layer 12 containing phase change material (barrier PCM layer) within the second void and distinct from the main PCM layer, the barrier PCM layer 12 defining a third void within the second void, the container being arranged to receive a product for transportation inside of the third void, wherein the main PCM layer 9, 10, 11 has an average thickness greater than the average thickness of the barrier PCM layer 12, the barrier PCM layer 12 comprises of an envelope in which the phase change material of the barrier PCM layer 12 is contained and the barrier PCM layer 12 is configured to maintain the phase change material with a relatively even distribution within the envelope.

The present invention provides a thinner, movable load bearing structure having indentations, grooves, valleys, channels or other similar depressions on its underside. These depressions are mated with corresponding features for improved loading bearing capabilities. The load bearing structures also includes roughened side edges for improving the strength of the edges. The load bearing structure may be a dunnage platform or a container for storing and/or shipping cargo.

A panel (14) for use in a thermally insulating container (2), the panel (14) comprising a body of a thermally insulating material in the form of a tray element (72) having one or more upwardly open compartments (74) for receiving thermal conditioning elements (16) therein.

A curtain closure for the cargo opening of an air cargo container and the air cargo containers that have the same. The curtain closures include a fabric layer, and at least one of an insulating layer or a reinforcing layer attached to the inside of the fabric layer.

A thermally insulating packaging to hold an item includes a solid compostable or recyclable shell that is formed primarily of starch, and a bottom cover. The shell includes a floor, a plurality of inner side walls that are coupled to the floor, a rim coupled to the plurality of inner side walls, and a plurality of outer side walls that are couple to the rim. The floor and the plurality of inner side walls define an interior space of the shell to receive the item and an opening to the interior space. The plurality of inner side walls and plurality of outer side walls have a space therebetween that defines a gap. The gap can be an air-filled cavity, or be filled with a compostable or recyclable core material.

The present invention relates to a wall-lid reinforcement system for the reinforcement of a box for storing and/or transporting goods wherein the box comprises a base body formed by side walls and a bottom wall, each one comprising inner and outer faces wherein the inner faces define an inner space with an opening; and a lid with an inner face, an outer face and a peripheral edge to close the opening of the base body and to define a closed configuration of the box. The wall-lid reinforcement system comprises at least one wall reinforcement body arranged on at least one face of at least one side wall of the base body of the box wherein said wall reinforcement body comprises a wall support area arranged towards the opening of the base body; and at least one lid reinforcement body arranged on the inner face of the lid, wherein the lid reinforcement body comprises a lid support area that faces the wall support area when the box is closed; wherein the wall reinforcement body and the lid reinforcement body define at least one reinforcement assembly. Furthermore, the invention relates to a box for storage and/or transport of goods.

Biodegradable insulating structures and panel systems, and methods for producing and assembling the biodegradable insulating structures are provided. The biodegradable insulating structures include biodegradable foam panels formed from biobased polymer foam beads which include polylactic acid. The biodegradable foam panels have edges that form a seal with adjacent biodegradable foam panels to restrict thermal energy transfer at the edges.

Provided is a packaging cooler box for delivery, comprising a bottom portion to form a lower surface upon conversion into a box mode, a plurality of sidewall portions configured to connect with the bottom portion, a lid portion configured to connect with one of the sidewall portions, and to face said bottom portion upon conversion into the box mode, a crease portion formed along the edge of the bottom portion so that the sidewall portions can stand upright, joint portions configured to join said sidewall portions, to be folded to face itself and to be in close contact with the sidewall portions, upon conversion into the box mode, and easy adhesive portions provided in said joint portions and sidewall portions to maintain the box shape upon conversion into the box mode from a single plane consisting of said bottom portion, sidewall portions, said lid portion and joint portions.
