Product box for use in a shipping system for temperature-sensitive materials and shipping system including the product box. In one embodiment, the product box includes a front, a rear, a left side, and a right side. The upper edges of the front and the rear are higher than the upper edges of the left side and the right side. The box also includes upper flaps hingedly connected to the upper edges of each of the front, the rear, the left side, and the right side and further includes lower flaps hingedly connected to the lower edges of each of the front and the rear. When folded, the upper flaps of the front and the rear are spaced above the upper flaps of the left side and the right side, thereby forming an air gap. Wings at the upper edges of the four sides center the product box within a container.

Provided are insulated shipping containers and shipping container systems that include outer side boundaries, in which a container or box may be contained, which outer side boundaries include smooth side walls and corresponding ridged side walls, wherein the smooth side walls and corresponding ridged side walls face one another and have one or more ridges therebetween, such that taken together, the facing smooth side walls and ridged walls form at least one side space therebetween and form outer side boundaries of an insulated shipping container. The insulated shipping containers may also include a top and/or bottom boundary that also include at least two layers, having ridges or other spacer therebetween to form at least one top and/or bottom space. The present systems may further include an over-shipper box and/or one or more interior boxes, which may be adapted to include e.g., a payload and/or heat transfer element therein for temperature control. Further provided are kits which may include one or more components used in the present containers and/or systems, and methods of assembling such containers and/or systems.

Containers for food, and methods and systems for making and using the same. An exemplary container for food can include an insulated tray including one or more sub-units and one or more heat sink units configured to store the food and fit in the tray. An alternative container can include a container base and a receptacle fitting in the container base, the container base including one or more thermal function pieces therein for maintaining a temperature of the receptacle. An alternative container can include a serving base defining one or more slots for holding the food items, respectively, and a cover configured to cooperate with the serving base, wherein at least the serving base, or at least the cover, includes a thermal function piece, the thermal function piece including a phase-change material. An exemplary method for using the container includes treating the phase-change material to an initial temperature.

A wearable animal vaccine insulation apparatus consists of an insulated container with an interior for a vaccine delivery bladder. It features a delivery opening to connect the bladder's neck to a dose administration hose. The apparatus also includes a body harness for wearing the container against the body. The container maintains the temperature integrity of the vaccine delivery bladder ensuring that the vaccine remains within the recommended temperature range, safeguarding its effectiveness.

The present application provides a long-distance transportation case for long-distance transportation of black soldier fly eggs and larvae, including a case body, a case cover, and a plurality of insulation components inside the case body; wherein the insulation component comprises a sealed bag with a phase-transition material filled therein; and the plurality of insulation components are arranged in the transportation case to form a holding space for accommodating the egg boxes. The present application also provides a transportation method for black soldier fly eggs and larvae.
