Insulated packaging material
A packaging material for making insulated containers, comprises a foam core and a radiant barrier layer laminated to at least one side of the foam core. Preferably, the radiant barrier layer comprises a plastic film metallized on at least one side bonded to a paper substrate. The paper substrate of the radiant barrier layer may be bonded to the foam core by the application of heat and pressure.
