Abstract

An insulated bag assembly includes an insulated bag, the insulated bag comprising a pair of opposing main panels, the main panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising an insulation batt, a first sheet, and a second sheet, the insulation batt encapsulated in a blank cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet, a blank border extending around a perimeter of the insulated blank, the blank border defined by a perimeter portion of the first sheet being in facing engagement with a perimeter portion of the second sheet, the blank border encompassing the blank cavity and defining an insulated portion of the insulated blank, the insulated bag defining a bag cavity with a bag opening; and an insulated panel, the insulated panel positioned within the bag cavity, the insulated panel forming a seal with the insulated bag.

Claims (62)

1. An insulated bag assembly comprising:

an insulated bag, the insulated bag comprising a pair of opposing main panels, a pair of opposing side panels, and a pair of wings, each wing of the pair of wings attached to a different side panel of the pair of side panels, the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the pair of wings respectively defined by a pair of wing portions of the insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising an insulation batt, a first sheet, and a second sheet, the insulation batt encapsulated in a blank cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet, a blank border extending around a perimeter of the insulated blank, the blank border defined by a perimeter portion of the first sheet being in facing engagement with a perimeter portion of the second sheet, the blank border encompassing the blank cavity and defining an insulated portion of the insulated blank, the insulated bag defining a top end and a bottom end, the top end distal from the bottom end, the insulated bag defining a bag cavity with a bag opening positioned at the top end, a bottom panel positioned at the bottom end, the bottom panel comprising a first bottom subpanel and a second bottom subpanel, the first bottom subpanel joined to the second bottom subpanel by a bottom seam, the bottom seam attaching a first portion of the blank border to a second portion of the blank border, the first bottom subpanel attached to a first main panel of the pair of opposing main panels, the second bottom subpanel attached to a second main panel of the pair of opposing main panels, each wing positioned between the bottom panel and a different one of the pair of side panels; and

an insulated panel, the insulated panel positioned within the bag cavity, the insulated panel forming a seal with the insulated bag.

2. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the insulated bag defines a bag beveled edge proximate the bag opening;

the insulated panel defines a panel beveled edge; and

the bag beveled edge and the panel beveled edge are configured to cooperate to form the seal.

3. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the insulated panel is a first insulated panel;

the insulated bag assembly further comprises a second insulated panel;

the first insulated panel forms the seal proximate the bag opening;

the second insulated panel is positioned within the bag cavity between the top end and the bottom end; and

the second insulated panel partitions the bag cavity into two subcavities.

4. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the insulated panel is a first insulated panel; and

the insulated bag assembly further comprises a second insulated panel positioned atop the bottom panel at the bottom end of the insulated bag.

5. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blank border at the top end extends outwards from the insulated blank further than the blank border at the bottom end.

6. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blank border extends from the top end to the bottom end of the insulated bag.

7. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein the main panels of the insulated bag are defined by the insulated portion of the insulated blank.

8. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

a portion of the first sheet attaches directly to the second sheet to define at least one uninsulated portion; and

the at least one uninsulated portion at least partially defines each wing portion of the pair of wing portions.

9. The insulated bag assembly of claim 8 , wherein:

the insulation batt defines a pair of wing notches;

each wing notch of the pair of wing notches aligns with a different wing portion of the pair of wing portions; and

each wing of the pair of wings is uninsulated.

10. The insulated bag assembly of claim 8 , wherein:

the insulation batt defines a pair of wing holes;

each wing hole of the pair of wing holes aligns with a different wing portion of the pair of wing portions; and

each wing of the pair of wings is partially uninsulated.

11. The insulated bag assembly of claim 10 , wherein:

each wing portion of the pair of wing portions defines an upper wing portion; and

each wing hole of the pair of wing holes aligns with the upper wing portion of a different wing portion of the pair of wing portions.

12. The insulated bag assembly of claim 1 , wherein each wing of the pair of wings extends upwards towards the top end of the insulated bag.

13. An insulated bag comprising:

a pair of opposing main panels, the insulated bag defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag, the insulated bag defining a bag opening to the bag cavity, the bag opening disposed at a top end of the insulated bag;

a pair of opposing side panels attached to the pair of opposing main panels;

a bottom panel comprising a first bottom subpanel and a second bottom subpanel, the first bottom subpanel attached to a first main panel of the pair of opposing main panels at a bottom end of the insulated bag, the second bottom subpanel attached to a second main panel of the pair of opposing main panels at the bottom end of the insulated bag; and

a pair of wings comprising a first wing and a second wing, the first wing positioned between the bottom panel and a first side panel of the pair of opposing side panels, the first wing attached to a first side panel of the pair of side panels, the second wing positioned between the bottom panel and a second side panel of the pair of opposing side panels, the second wing attached to a second side panel of the pair of side panels;

the main panels, the side panels, the first bottom subpanel, the second bottom subpanel, and the pair of wings defined in an insulated blank, the pair wings respectively defined by a pair of wing portions of the insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising:

a first sheet;

a second sheet, the second sheet attached to the first sheet by a blank border, the blank border extending around a perimeter of the insulated blank, the blank border enclosing a blank cavity defined between the first sheet and the second sheet, the blank border comprising a bottom border extending along the first bottom subpanel and the second bottom subpanel, a portion of the blank border defined by the first bottom subpanel being attached to an opposing portion of the blank border defined by the second bottom subpanel to form a bottom seam, the bottom seam attaching the first bottom subpanel to the second bottom subpanel to form the bottom panel of the insulated bag; and

an insulation batt positioned within the blank cavity.

14. The insulated bag of claim 13 , wherein:

the insulated blank defines a first end and a second end;

the first end is defined opposite from the second end; and

the first end is attached to the second end by a main seam.

15. The insulated bag of claim 14 , wherein:

the main seam is defined by a portion of the blank border;
