Abstract

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.

Claims (27)

1. An insulated box assembly comprising:

a box comprising 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 comprising a pair of opposing main liner panels and a pair of opposing side liner panels, the pair of opposing main liner panels comprising a first main liner panel and a second main liner panel, the pair of opposing side liner panels comprising a first side liner panel and a second side liner panel, the first side liner panel being hingedly coupled to the first main liner panel at a first side crease line, the first side liner panel being hingedly coupled to the second main liner panel at a second side crease line, the first side liner panel being unfolded between the first side crease line and the second side crease line, the first side crease line and the second side crease line being positioned perpendicular to the bottom box panel, the pair of opposing main liner panels and the pair of opposing side liner panels defined by a single blank liner panel comprising a blank sheet and an insulation batt, the insulation batt positioned between the blank sheet and the box.

2. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein

the second side liner panel is hingedly coupled to the second main liner panel at a third side crease line.

3. The insulated box assembly of claim 2 , wherein the insulated liner defines a top end and a bottom end, and wherein the first side crease line, the second side crease line, and the third side crease line extend between the top end and the bottom end.

4. The insulated box assembly of claim 2 , wherein the insulation batt defines a groove corresponding to the first side crease line, and wherein a thickness of the insulation batt is reduced at the groove.

5. The insulated box assembly of claim 2 , wherein the second main liner panel is unfolded between the second side crease line and the third side crease line.

6. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the insulated liner defines a liner cavity with a liner opening positioned at a top end of the insulated liner; and

the blank sheet at least partially defines the liner cavity.

7. The insulated box assembly of claim 6 , further comprising an insulated panel covering the liner opening, the insulated panel comprising a panel sheet and a panel insulation batt, the panel sheet further defining the liner cavity.

8. The insulated box assembly of claim 7 , wherein the panel sheet is positioned between the panel insulation batt and the insulation batt of the single blank liner panel.

9. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the insulated liner defines a liner cavity with a liner opening positioned at a top end of the insulated liner;

a bottom liner panel is positioned at a bottom end of the insulated liner opposite from the opening; and

the bottom liner panel further defines the liner cavity.

10. The insulated box assembly of claim 9 , wherein the bottom liner panel is defined by the single blank liner panel.

11. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt comprises paper.

12. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt is repulpable.

13. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt is recyclable.

14. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt comprises a mixture of cellulose fiber and between 0.5% and 25% thermoplastic binder fiber.

15. The insulated box assembly of claim 14 , wherein the single blank liner panel is repulpable.

16. The insulated box assembly of claim 14 , wherein the thermoplastic binder fiber comprises a polyethylene and polypropylene mixture.

17. The insulated box assembly of claim 14 , wherein the thermoplastic binder fiber has a length of between 0.5 mm to 16 mm.

18. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the blank sheet comprises kraft paper.

19. The insulated box assembly of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt comprises cardboard.
