A method for forming a heat-reflective blank includes laminating at least one thermal film sheet at a predetermined position on a first linerboard sheet such that a laminated sheet is formed, and feeding the laminated sheet into a corrugating machine. The method further includes coupling the laminated sheet to a corrugated medium sheet and a second linerboard sheet such that a corrugated sheet is formed. The corrugated medium sheet is between the first linerboard sheet and the second linerboard sheet and the thermal film sheet is positioned on an outer surface of the corrugated sheet.

An insulated packaging assembly can include a box including a top side wall, a bottom side wall, a first lateral side wall, a second lateral side wall, a third lateral side wall, and a fourth lateral side wall the box defining a cavity; a first thermal liner positioned in the cavity, a first portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the top side wall, a second portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the first lateral side wall, a third portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the bottom side wall; and a second thermal liner defining a first end and a second end disposed opposite from the first end, the second thermal liner defining an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite from the inner surface.

Disclosed is a box, a modular box assembly, and a method of assembling a box. The box can comprise a center panel defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end; a first locking panel extending from the first side, the first locking panel comprising a pair of wings, each of the wings defining a locking slot; a second locking panel extending from the second side, the second locking panel comprising a pair of locking tabs, each of the locking tabs engaging a corresponding one of the locking slots; a first side flap panel extending from the first end; and a second side flap panel extending from the second end.

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.

Rigid wadding, insulation and packaging for food and other products is made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one. For purposes of protecting an inner rigid wadding or other insulation, one or more film strips or film coatings may be applied by the artful use of amorphous (non-crystalized) PET that melts at a lower temperature and can act as a thermal bond adhesive. The film strips or film coatings may be made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one.

A packaging assembly includes first insulation blocks, second insulation blocks, and third insulation blocks, each insulation block arranged in contact with at least one other insulation block to define a void, the packaging assembly including at least one enclosure, the insulation blocks at least partially surrounded by the at least one enclosure.

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.

Pouch including an insulation pad (100) including two juxtaposed cellulose-based sheets (110, 112) and a cellulose-based insulation material (120). The two juxtaposed cellulose-based sheets are laminated together with the cellulose-based insulation material located therebetween. The pouch further includes transverse fold lines (134) in the insulation pad. The pouch further includes two W-shaped folds (140) in the insulation pad. The two W-shaped folds are formed by folding the insulation pad along the transverse fold lines. Portions of a first longitudinal edge (116) of the insulation pad are coupled to each other between the two W-shaped folds in the insulation pad.

A temperature insulated packaging system includes a container having interior surface bounding an interior volume and a liner disposed within the interior volume and at least partially bounding a compartment configured to receive an item for temperature insulated shipping. The liner includes a first sleeve made of cellulose material and at least partially bounds a channel. The first sleeve has an outside wall disposed adjacent to the container and an opposing inside wall disposed adjacent to the compartment configured to receive the item for shipping, the channel being disposed between the inside wall and the outside wall. At least one insulation sheet is disposed within the channel of the first sleeve, the at least one insulation sheet being made of a cellulose material and having a plurality of recesses formed thereon.

A thermal insulation article includes a thermally insulating pad shaped to be positioned in a cavity of a rectangular prism shipping container. The pad includes a solid compostable panel formed primarily of starch and/or plant fiber pulp that holds together as a single unit, and a water-proof or water-resistant film forming a pocket enclosing the panel. The panel includes a first section, a second section, and a third section connecting the first section to the second section, the first and second section each having a central portion and two flaps that extend from the central portion beyond the third section, and wherein the panel is foldable into an open box.
