Abstract
Shipping container for a temperature-sensitive payload. In one embodiment, the shipping container includes an insulated base having a bottom wall and four side walls. A first thermally conductive member is positioned on the bottom wall. A payload box is centered on top of the first thermally conductive member, and four frozen packs, each having a thickness matching the height of the payload box, are positioned along the four sides of the payload box. An insulating frame may be placed around the payload box to keep the frozen packs from directly contacting the payload box. A second thermally conductive member is positioned on top of the payload box and the four frozen packs, and an insulated lid is positioned on top of the second thermally conductive member and the four side walls of the base. One, both or neither of the thermally conductive members may be removed to optimize seasonal suitability.
