A shipping container includes an insulated base, an upper perimeter portion including one or more securing mechanisms, insulated side panels, and an insulated lid. Each of the insulated side panels is movable between a respective first position and a respective second position, wherein the shipping container is in the first configuration when all of the insulated side panels are in the first positions and collapses into the second configuration when all of the side panels are in the second positions. The insulated lid is removably attachable for selectively closing and accessing an internal storage volume. Each of the securing mechanisms is configured to removably secure the upper perimeter portion to the insulated base when the shipping container is in the second configuration. Each of the securing mechanisms is also configured to removably secure the insulated lid to the upper perimeter portion in both the first and the second configurations.

A collapsible dunnage box is provided that includes a box base and first and second opposed base sidewalls attached to the box base on opposing sides of the box. First and second opposed top sidewalls are pivotally attached to the top edge of respective ones of the base sidewalls. First and second opposed top endwalls are provided to form a box enclosure. The base endwalls are pivotally-mounted to the top endwalls and are moveable between a lowered, vertical deployed position enclosing respective ends of the box and a raised, horizontal stowed position to contain and store dunnage positioned in an upper portion of the box.

The present application generally relates to devices and methods for transporting items, and it more specifically relates to crate liners for use in delivering temperature-controlled items such as perishable food. The crate liners of the present application being insulated to maintain a temperature-controlled environment within the liner. The crate liners of the present application being collapsible to minimize the space required for storing the crate liner when not in use.

Modular containers are formed in a collapsible fashion by flexible or rigid bodies and panels. A size of a modular container may be selected by inflating the modular container to a desired pressure or volume, coupling two or more bodies of the modular containers together, or mating the bodies of the modular containers to common bases or surfaces. The modular containers may be accessed via one or more openings in vertical or horizontal surfaces of such modular containers in order to load items into such modular containers or to unload the items therefrom. The modular containers may be assembled or collapsed manually or automatically, and transported to one or more locations separately or in stacks.

A shipping container includes an insulated base, an upper perimeter portion including one or more securing mechanisms, insulated side panels, and an insulated lid. Each of the insulated side panels is movable between a respective first position and a respective second position, wherein the shipping container is in the first configuration when all of the insulated side panels are in the first positions and collapses into the second configuration when all of the side panels are in the second positions. The insulated lid is removably attachable for selectively closing and accessing an internal storage volume. Each of the securing mechanisms is configured to removably secure the upper perimeter portion to the insulated base when the shipping container is in the second configuration. Each of the securing mechanisms is also configured to removably secure the insulated lid to the upper perimeter portion in both the first and the second configurations.

A collapsible container having a base, an upper frame, and a pair of opposed side walls pivotably connected to side edges of the upper frame. Each of the side walls including an upper panel hingeably connected to a lower panel. The lower panel is hingeably connected to the base. A pair of opposed end walls are pivotably connected to end edges of the upper frame. The end walls are pivotable between an upright position extending from the upper frame to the base between the side walls and a retracted position within the upper frame. A lid is pivotably secured to the upper frame. Other embodiments are also disclosed.

A portable insulated storage container includes an insulated body having an internal cavity for storing one or more items and an insulated lid. The insulated body includes a base, first and second opposing end panels, and first and second opposing side panels. The first and second opposing end panels are each configured to move between a first vertical orientation and a second horizontal orientation. Each of the first and second opposing side panels includes an upper portion connected to a lower portion by a hinge. The insulated lid configured to engage the insulated body to close the internal cavity.

A hard-sided collapsible cooler includes a cooler body and a lid rotatably attached to the cooler body. The cooler body includes a frame, a base, and multiple panels. First one or more panels of the multiple panels are rotatably attached to the frame, and second one or more panels of the multiple panels are rotatably attached to the base. The multiple panels and the base define a cavity of the cooler body when the hard-sided collapsible cooler is un-collapsed.

A collapsible dunnage adapted for being positioned in a box for transporting parts that includes a plurality of top-opening pockets for receiving the parts to be transported and formed of a flexible web positioned in side-by-side registration with each other and movable between an expanded use position and a collapsed storage position while being maintained in the same side-by-side registration position. Fastener elements are attached to the dunnage and adapted for fastening the dunnage to complementary fastener elements carried by a box in which the dunnage is adapted to be positioned for use and storage. The box is collapsible and includes features that permit convenient storage of the collapsed accordion dunnage in the collapsed box.

A collapsible dunnage box is provided that includes a box base and first and second opposed base sidewalls attached to the box base on opposing sides of the box. First and second opposed top sidewalls are pivotally attached to the top edge of respective ones of the base sidewalls. First and second opposed top endwalls are provided to form a box enclosure. The base endwalls are pivotally-mounted to the top endwalls and are moveable between a lowered, vertical deployed position enclosing respective ends of the box and a raised, horizontal stowed position to contain and store dunnage positioned in an upper portion of the box.
