A method for insulating a box includes positioning an insulated panel adjacent to a side panel of the box, the insulated panel including an insulation batt and a sheet, the insulated panel defining a border extending around a perimeter of the insulation batt; and attaching a seam of the border to a portion of a perimeter area of the side panel.

Insulated box

A modular box assembly includes a box with side panels defining a box cavity, a first thermal liner positioned within the box cavity, the first thermal liner including a first insulation batt disposed between sheets, the first thermal liner defining three first liner panels, at least one box side panel being covered by a first liner panel, and a second thermal liner positioned within the box cavity, the second thermal liner including a second insulation batt disposed between sheets, the second thermal liner defining three second liner panels. At least one other of the side box panels is covered by a second liner panel. The bottom box panel is covered by either a first liner panel not covering any side box panel or a second liner panel not covering any side box panel. Each insulation batt can be formed from a mixture of thermoplastic binder fibers and reinforcement fibers.

Modular box assembly

Packaging insert

An insulated packaging assembly can include a box having a plurality of sides and a bottom; a liner having a plurality of sides defined by a plurality of end panels; and at least one separation feature connected to the side of the liner between the side of the liner and the corresponding side of the box; wherein each end of each end panel defines a protrusion tab, and a first separation feature of the at least one separation feature can include a protrusion tab of one of the end panels extending beyond an outer surface of an adjacent end panel.

Insulated packaging liner

A tray comprising a bottom panel defining a first bottom panel side, a second bottom panel side, a first bottom panel end, and a second panel bottom end; a first side panel extending upward from the first bottom panel side and a second side panel extending upward from the second bottom panel side; a first wing extending downward from the first side panel and a second wing extending downward from the second side panel; a first end panel arranged laterally between the first side panel and the second side panel, and a second end panel arranged laterally between the first side panel and the second side panel; wherein each of the first wing and the second wing are configured to engage at least one of the first end panel and the second end panel and support the bottom panel above a support surface.

Tray and method therefor

An insulating bag includes a pair of opposing side panels; a pair of opposing main panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the pair of opposing main panels and the pair of opposing side panels together defining a top bag end and a bottom bag end opposite the top bag end; a pair of opposing main top flaps, each main top flap hingedly connected to a corresponding one of the main panels at the top bag end; a pair of opposing side top flaps, each side top flap hingedly connected to a corresponding one of the side panels at the top bag end; and a bottom panel disposed at the bottom bag end; wherein: the insulating bag comprises a paper base layer and a temperature-preserving liner applied to the paper base layer; and the insulating bag defines an interior cavity configured to receive bag contents therein.

Insulating bag

A tray blank includes a bottom panel defining a first end, a second end, a third end, and a fourth end; a side panel extending outwardly from the third end of the bottom panel, the side panel joined to the bottom panel along a first fold line, the side panel defining a first end, a second end, a third end, and a fourth end; a wing extending outwardly from the side panel, the wing joined to the side panel along a second fold line; and an end panel extending from the bottom panel, the end panel joined to the bottom panel along a third fold line; wherein at least one transverse fold line extends across the end panel and subdivides the end panel into a primary section and at least one secondary section.

Collapsible tray and methods therefor

A modular box assembly includes a box defining a box cavity within the box, the box further defining a top end and a bottom end, the top end defining a box opening connected to the box cavity, the box including a side panel extending from the top end to the bottom end; a shoulder attached to the side panel, the shoulder extending inward from the side panel and into the box cavity, the shoulder including a first sub-shoulder and a second sub-shoulder, the first sub-shoulder, the second sub-shoulder, and the side panel defining a shoulder channel; and an inner box disposed in the box cavity, the inner box including a channel tab, the channel tab frictionally engaging the shoulder channel to secure and suspend the inner box within the box cavity between the top end and the bottom end.

An insulated box assembly can include 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 liner

A tray blank for a storage box includes a planar center panel defining a first side edge, a second side edge opposite the first side edge, a first end edge, and a second end edge opposite the first end edge, a first fastener slot formed through the center panel at the first side edge and a second fastener slot formed through the center panel at the second side edge, the first fastener slot laterally aligned with the second fastener slot; a first side panel formed monolithically with the center panel and hingedly connected to the first side edge, the first side panel coplanar with the center panel; and a second side panel formed monolithically with the center panel and hingedly connected to the second side edge, the second side panel coplanar with the center panel and the first side panel.

Storage box tray blank

An insulated packaging assembly can include a box and a liner including a plurality of sides and a bottom and arranged within the box, the liner including at least one separation feature connected to at least one side of the liner, wherein each separation feature is arranged between one side of the liner and the box such that the side of the liner is arranged an insulation distance from the box.

A tray includes a bottom panel defining a first bottom panel side and a second bottom panel side opposite the first bottom panel side; a pair of side panels comprising a first side panel extending substantially upward from the bottom panel at the first bottom panel side and a second side panel extending substantially upward from the bottom panel at the second bottom panel side; and a pair of wings comprising a first wing extending substantially downward from the first side panel distal to the bottom panel and a second wing extending substantially downward from the second side panel distal to the bottom panel; wherein the first wing and the second wing are configured to support the bottom panel above a support surface.
