Claims (39)

1. An insulation wrap comprising:

an insulation batt defining a top end and a bottom end, the insulation batt defining an inner side and an outer side;

a wrap liner blank comprising:

an inner portion defining a clearance notch and extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank, the inner side of the insulation batt positioned facing the inner portion, wherein the clearance notch separates a portion of the inner portion of the first panel from a portion of the inner portion of the second panel and an inner side flap is hingedly coupled to the inner portion defined by the first panel, and wherein the inner side flap extends at least partially across the clearance notch;

a ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the ledge portion hingedly coupled to the inner portion by an inner hinge, the top end of the insulation batt positioned facing the ledge portion; and

an outer portion extending across the first panel and the second panel of the wrap liner blank, the outer portion hingedly coupled to the ledge portion by a ledge hinge, the outer side of the insulation batt facing the outer portion, the outer portion defining an outer hinge between the first panel and the second panel, the first panel being foldable relative to the second panel about the outer hinge from an unfolded configuration to a folded configuration wherein the inner portion at least partially defines an insulated cavity within the wrap liner blank.

2. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein:

the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially parallel to the inner portion defined by the second panel in the unfolded configuration; and

the inner portion defined by the first panel is substantially perpendicular to the inner portion defined by the second panel in the folded configuration.

3. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein:

the inner portion, the ledge portion, and the outer portion extend across a third panel and a fourth panel of the wrap liner blank;

the outer hinge is a first outer hinge;

the outer portion defines a second outer hinge between the second panel and the third panel; and

the outer portion defines a third outer hinge between the third panel and the fourth panel.

4. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the top end is captured in a channel defined between the outer portion and the inner portion.

5. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the outer side is coupled to the outer portion, and wherein the inner side is coupled to the inner portion.

6. The insulation wrap of claim 1 , wherein the insulation batt extends across the first panel and the second panel.

7. A wrap liner blank comprising:

a first end;

a second end opposite the first end, wherein the first end and the second end define a closure mechanism configured to secure the first end to the second end;

a first outer portion and a second outer portion extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank, the first outer portion and the second outer portion defining an outer hinge, the first panel hingedly coupled to the second panel by the outer hinge;

a first ledge portion and a second ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the first ledge portion and the second ledge portion defined between the first outer portion and the second outer portion, the first ledge portion hingedly coupled to the first outer portion by a first ledge hinge, the second ledge portion hingedly coupled to the second outer portion by a second ledge hinge; and

an inner portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the inner portion defined between the first ledge portion and the second ledge portion, the inner portion hingedly coupled to the first ledge portion by a first inner hinge, the inner portion hingedly coupled to the second ledge portion by a second inner hinge.

8. The wrap liner blank of claim 7 , wherein the first panel is foldable relative to the second panel about the outer hinge.

9. The wrap liner blank of claim 7 , wherein the inner portion defines a clearance notch separating a portion of the inner portion defined by the first panel from a portion of the inner portion defined by the second panel.

10. The wrap liner blank of claim 9 , wherein an inner side flap extends at least partially across the clearance notch, and wherein the inner side flap is hingedly coupled to the portion of the inner portion defined by the first panel.

11. The wrap liner blank of claim 7 , wherein:

the second end defines a tab; and

the first end defines an aperture configured to receive the tab.

12. The wrap liner blank of claim 11 , wherein the tab and the aperture are defined by the first outer portion.

13. The wrap liner blank of claim 7 , wherein:

the first ledge portion defines a ledge clearance notch; and

the ledge clearance notch separates a portion of the first ledge portion defined by the first panel from a portion of the first ledge portion defined by the second panel.

14. The wrap liner blank of claim 7 , wherein the outer hinge is perpendicular to the first inner hinge.

15. A wrap liner blank comprising:

a first outer portion and a second outer portion extending across a first panel and a second panel of the wrap liner blank, the first outer portion and the second outer portion defining an outer hinge, the first panel hingedly coupled to the second panel by the outer hinge;

a first ledge portion and a second ledge portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the first ledge portion and the second ledge portion defined between the first outer portion and the second outer portion, the first ledge portion hingedly coupled to the first outer portion by a first ledge hinge, the second ledge portion hingedly coupled to the second outer portion by a second ledge hinge; and

an inner portion extending across the first panel and the second panel, the inner portion defined between the first ledge portion and the second ledge portion, the inner portion hingedly coupled to the first ledge portion by a first inner hinge, the inner portion hingedly coupled to the second ledge portion by a second inner hinge, the inner portion defining a clearance notch separating a portion of the inner portion defined by the first panel from a portion of the inner portion defined by the second panel; and

an inner side flap hingedly coupled to the portion of the inner portion defined by the first panel, the inner side flap extends at least partially across the clearance notch.
