Shipping systems for temperature-sensitive materials and methods of making and using same. In one embodiment, the shipping system includes a cooler base and a lid. The base includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion includes a thermal insulation unit including a bottom wall and four side walls. A thermally-conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A polymeric bag encapsulates the thermally-conductive member and some of the thermal insulation unit. The outer portion includes thermally-insulating material and defines an opening. The inner portion is permanently bonded to the outer portion, with cavities defined therebetween. A product box is placed in the inner portion directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. First temperature-control members are disposed within the inner portion, with at least one temperature-control member directly over the polymeric bag and the underlying thermally-conductive member. Second temperature-control members are disposed within the cavities.

The invention relates to a box for preservation under vacuum. The box incudes a container and a lid for closing the container. The container includes a body with an internal wall and an external wall, the internal wall delimiting an internal volume of the container, the internal volume being upwardly open when the container is placed on a horizontal surface. The internal wall and external wall are connected together at an edge and define a first cavity between them, the edge having a closed contour. The lid includes a body with a perimeter that has a closed contour and is intended to bear in a sealing manner against the edge of the container when the cover is fitted on the container in a closed configuration of the box. The first cavity opens towards the exterior environment through at least one opening.

A pallet cover suitable for use in covering at least a portion of a payload on a pallet and a kit for use in making the pallet cover. In one embodiment, the pallet cover includes a top wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, and a right side wall, wherein the walls are detachably joined to one another. Each of the top wall, the front wall, the rear wall, the left side wall, and the right side wall includes a first fabric sheet and a second fabric sheet, the first and second fabric sheets being joined together to form a plurality of pockets. Each pocket may removably receive a temperature-control member containing a phase-change material. At least one of the top wall, the front wall, the rear wall, the left side wall and the right side wall includes a plurality of detachably joined portions.

An insulated shipping container system for transporting temperature sensitive specimens includes an insulated body, an insulated lid, and a stretchable strap. The insulated body has an internal cavity that is accessible through an opening and has a cross-sectional shape. The insulated lid is configured for selectively closing the opening to the internal cavity when the lid is in a closed position. The stretchable strap is removably attachable to each of the insulated body and the insulated lid. The stretchable strap is configured to stretch and attach to a lug on the insulated body to selectively hold the insulated lid in the closed position and further configured to retain the insulated lid to the insulated body when the lid is in an opened position. The insulated shipping container system may also include a freezable cold pack having a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity.

Method and system for storing and/or transporting temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the system is designed to keep a payload within a desired temperature range of +2° C. to +8° C. for an extended time in a warm ambient environment. The system includes a thermally insulated container and first and second phase-change materials, each of the phase-change materials having a different solid/liquid phase-change temperature. Both phase-change materials are preconditioned to a solid state for pack-out. The first phase-change material has a solid/liquid phase-change temperature that is within the desired temperature range and that is at or below a hibernation temperature of about +5° C. to +6° C. The second phase-change material has a solid/liquid phase-change temperature that is above the hibernation temperature. When placed in the warm ambient environment, both phase-change materials move towards melting; however, when subsequently placed in hibernation, the second phase-change material reverses the direction of its phase change, becoming recharged.

Disclosed is a vacuum insulator, comprising: a metal plate; a glass plate arranged facing and spaced apart from the metal plate; and a sealing structure arranged between the metal plate and the glass plate for fixing the metal plate and the glass plate in a sealed manner, with a vacuum cavity being defined between the metal plate and the glass plate. The vacuum insulator is impact-resistant, has a stable structure, and can be independently used for manufacturing an insulated container. The insulated container having the vacuum insulator is also involved.

A thermal insulation cabinet and a manufacturing method therefor, and a refrigerator having same. The manufacturing method for the thermal insulation cabinet comprises the following steps: pre-assembling a shell having a vacuum insulation panel attached to the inside, into a cabinet shell; heating the inside of the cabinet shell; and injecting a foaming material between the cabinet shell and an inner liner for foaming. According to the present invention, the inside of the cabinet shell is heated, such that the inner surface of the shell can reach a target temperature required for foaming, thereby reducing or avoiding a surface crusting phenomenon, and improving a thermal insulation effect of the thermal insulation cabinet.

Refrigerator door (25) includes outer packaging material (55) including a resin sheet, and a core material and gas adsorption each contained in outer packaging material (55). The gas adsorption device includes a vacuum sealed container containing a gas adsorbing substance that adsorbs various gases, an opening pin that opens the vacuum sealed container by a physical load from an outside, and a load-bearing spacer that suppresses displacement of the opening pin to less than or equal to a predetermined amount.
