Provided are multiply-insulated articles, comprising at least first and second containers disposed together such that the interior volume of the first container is sealed against the environment exterior to the article.

Example aspects of an insulated box assembly and a method of assembling an insulated box assembly are disclosed. The insulated box assembly can comprise a plurality of outer lateral sidewalls, the outer lateral sidewalls defining an inner surface, the inner surface defining an inner cavity; a plurality of inner lateral sidewalls received in the inner cavity, the inner lateral sidewalls defining an outer surface; and a monolithic sidewall liner received in the inner cavity between the outer lateral sidewalls and the inner lateral sidewalls, the sidewall liner defining a liner outer surface and a continuous, uninterrupted liner inner surface opposite the liner outer surface, the liner outer surface facing the inner surface of the outer lateral sidewalls, and the liner inner surface facing the outer surface of the inner lateral sidewalls.

A box-type transport container has a box-type outer container with a base, four side walls and at least one lid. The lid is hinged on a side wall. Sheet-type vacuum insulation panels are arranged in the outer container to cover the surface of the side walls. At least one carrying opening, which can be gripped by hand in order to carry the transport box, is provided in each of two opposing, side walls. The material of the side wall is weakened above and to the side of the carrying opening, such that the material can be easily separated from the surrounding material of the side wall and together with the carrying opening can be folded out of the side wall. Alternatively, the vacuum insulation panels of the side wall are secured in their relative positions by at least one peripheral tensioning means.

Embodiments provide a cup with an integrated lid that comprises top, center, and bottom portions. The top portion of the cup defines an opening and is attached to a plurality of integrated lid sections extending from the top portion and separated from the top portion by one or more fold lines. The plurality of integrated lid sections may be folded inward over the opening defined by the top portion to cover and at least partially seal the opening. The center portion defines a sidewall that extends between two ends that are affixed to at least each other. The bottom portion extends from the center portion and defines a base. The plurality of integrated lid sections may interlock to define a lid. The lid may be configured with a hole or spout for drinking or pouring the contents of the cup. The base, sidewall, and lid may define a frustoconical shape.

A container having improved insulation properties with an inner structure received into an outer structure defining an inner cavity and having a flat configuration and an erected configuration; a bottom insulating cavity defined by a bottom panel, a bottom rear wall, and bottom lateral walls when the inner structure is in an erected configuration; a first side insulating cavity defined by a first side panel, a first side panel lateral wall and a first side panel top wall when the inner structure is in the erected configuration; a second insulating cavity defined by a second side panel and a second side top wall when the inner structure is in an erected configuration and cooperatively associated with an outer structure; and, a top insulating cavity defined by a top panel and a top ridge when the inner structure is in an erected configuration and operatively associated with the outer structure.

A telescoping insulated box assembly including an outer box including a plurality of outer side walls, the plurality of outer side walls including a first outer side wall including a first outer side panel, a first inner side panel, a first connecting strip, and a tab, the first connecting strip joined to a top of the first outer side panel by a first fold line and a top of the first inner side panel by a second fold line, the first outer side panel, the first inner side panel, and the first connecting strip at least partially defining a first insulation cavity within the first outer side wall, the tab joined to a side of the first inner side panel by a third fold line; and a second outer side wall including a second outer side panel, a second inner side panel, and a second connecting strip.

Insulation container for holding temperature-sensitive products, comprising at least one vacuum insulation element, the at least one vacuum insulation element coming into contact with at least two connecting surfaces, with a sealant is arranged on the connecting surfaces in order to reduce heat exchange along the connecting surfaces.

A cold chain packaging system is disclosed that includes a first enclosure for receiving a payload, a second enclosure for receiving the first enclosure, wherein the first enclosure is adapted and configured to create a moat between an exterior surface of the first enclosure and an interior surface of the second enclosure for receiving a phase change material, a third enclosure for receiving the second enclosure, a plurality of spacer blocks for encapsulating the second enclosure within the third enclosure to create a void barrier between an exterior surface of the second enclosure and an interior surface of the third enclosure, and a fourth enclosure for receiving a phase change material, wherein the fourth enclosure is dimensioned and configured to be received within the second enclosure positioned above the first enclosure.

Provided are multiply-insulated articles, comprising at least first and second containers disposed together such that the interior volume of the first container is sealed against the environment exterior to the article.

Process to produce a recyclable insulating liner, the process comprising folding a web of cellulosic material in half, thereby forming a folded web comprising two side edges a top edge and a bottom folded edge; connecting at least one of the two side edges along an intra-panel connection line to form a pouch comprising two bottom corner portions; cutting out a parallelogram-shaped section in each of the two bottom corner portions, thereby forming a cut pouch comprising two unconnected bottom corner sections comprising free edges; and expanding the cut pouch and connecting the free edges of both unconnected bottom corner sections to form straight edges.
