COOLER APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING FROM FOLDING SINGLE SHEET OF CORRUGATED MATERIAL
A box is made by folding a sheet of material. Preferably, the box is formed by applying adhesive and folding using a machine, and a waterproof or water resistant coating is applied so that the box is configured for use as a cooler. The box includes (a) a storage portion, including a bottom panel, a first end panel, a second end panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel; (b) four corner panels; (c) a top panel including tabs; and (d) a latching panel attached to the first side panel and pivotable relative thereto about a fold line, the latching panel including first and second subpanels. The latching panel includes cuts extending between and dividing the first and second subpanels through which the tabs respectively extend when the cooler is in a closed position.
Temperature insulated packaging systems and related methods
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.
Box liner
An insulated box assembly includes a box including a pair of opposing side box panels, a pair of opposing main box panels, and a bottom box panel, the box defining an internal box cavity with a box opening defined opposite from the bottom box panel; and an insulated liner positioned within the internal box cavity, the insulated liner including a pair of opposing main liner panels and a pair of opposing side liner panels, the pair of opposing main liner panels and the pair of opposing side liner panels defined by a single blank liner panel including a blank sheet and an insulation batt, the insulation batt positioned between the blank sheet and the box.

Box insert with vertical rails
An insulated box assembly including an insulated box including an outer portion including a plurality of middle portions and at least one lower portion, the at least one lower portion defining a bottom of the outer portion; an interior piece including a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel, the interior piece positioned within the outer portion, the interior piece defining an interior of the insulated box; and at least one insulated panel positioned within the outer portion, the at least one insulated panel positioned between the plurality of middle portions and the plurality of side panels; and a register system including an insert including a rail coupled to a center segment, the insert positioned within the interior of the insulated box; and a register positioned within the interior, the register defining a cutout, the cutout engaging the rail and suspending the register above the center segment.
PACKAGING INSULATION PRODUCTS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME
Packaging insulation for insertion into a packaging container, which includes an air laid natural fibrous batt comprised primarily of natural fibers, having foldable paper sheet material adhered to both sides of the batt. The resulting method and product provides packaging insulation which can be shipped flat and compressed, which expands when unpacked and which can be readily folded to match the interior configuration of a shipping container, such as a cardboard box.
INSULATED CONTAINER AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING AN INSULATED CONTAINER
There is disclosed an insulated container comprising: an external housing having abase and sidewall structure extending upwardly from the base to a first height, an upper end of the sidewall structure defining an opening of the external housing; an insert having an insert base and insert sidewall structure extending upwardly from the insert base, the insert being configured to be snugly received within the external housing, and the insert sidewall structure having a second height that is less than the first height so as to define a shoulder portion; and a thermally insulating lid having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lid being configured to be received through the opening of the external housing and positioned with edge parts of the lower surface of the lid resting on the shoulder portion defined by the insert sidewall structure; wherein the sidewall structure of the external housing is provided with at least one slit positioned above the upper surface of the lid to allow a portion of the sidewall structure of the external housing above the slit to be moveable to an inverted position so as to engage the upper surface of the lid and to hold the lid in position.
THERMAL LINER AND THERMAL CONTAINER COMPRISING SAME
A thermal liner comprising a plurality of planar panel sections and being configurable in an operative configuration defining a closed inner chamber delimited by a bottom wall, four side walls and a top wall. Each one of the bottom wall, the side walls and the top wall comprises an inner sheet, an outer sheet and at least one intermediate sheet. A first core layer extends between the inner sheet and a respective one of the at least one intermediate sheet and defines a plurality of geometrically patterned structures inbetween. A second core layer extends between the outer sheet and a respective one of the at least one intermediate sheet and defines a plurality of geometrically patterned structures inbetween. A container having a thermal liner such as the one described above is also provided.
