Packaging Insulation Liner Including Foil Paper
A packaging insulation liner is disclosed. The packaging insulation liner is configured to be placed in a packaging container. The packaging insulation liner includes an insulation pad and a foil paper coupled to the insulation pad. The foil paper includes a paper layer and a metallic layer disposed on the paper layer. The foil paper is recyclable.
1 . A packaging insulation liner comprising:
an insulation pad; and
a foil paper coupled to the insulation pad, the foil paper comprising a paper layer and a metallic layer disposed on the paper layer, wherein the foil paper is recyclable.
2 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 1 , wherein the insulation pad has a first surface and a second surface opposite of the first surface, and the foil paper is attached to the first surface.
3 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 2 , wherein the foil paper is also attached to the second surface.
4 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 2 , wherein a foil-free paper is attached to the second surface.
5 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 2 , wherein a first piece of the foil paper is attached to one of (i) a piece of a foil-free paper or (ii) a second piece of the foil paper to encapsulate the insulation pad.
6 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 1 , wherein the metallic layer of the foil paper is made of a metal selected from a group consisting of aluminum, gold, tin, silver, copper, steel, lead, alloys thereof, and combinations thereof.
7 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 1 , wherein the metallic layer of the foil paper is made of a metal selected from a group consisting of aluminum, steel, or combinations thereof.
8 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 1 , wherein the insulation pad includes a plurality of fibers made from a material selected from a group consisting of thermoplastic, cellulose, and combinations thereof.
9 . The packaging insulation liner of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of fibers include substrate fibers and binder fibers, the substrate fibers are made of the material selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic, cellulose, and combinations thereof, and the binder fibers are bicomponent fibers made of thermoplastic.
10 . A packaging assembly comprising:
the packaging insulation liner of claim 1 ; and
a packaging container, wherein the insulation liner is disposed within the packaging container.
11 . The packaging assembly of claim 10 , wherein the packaging container is a cardboard box.
12 . A method of forming an insulation liner, the method comprising:
depositing a metal on a paper substrate to form a foil paper; and
coupling the foil paper to an insulation pad.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising coating the paper substrate with a varnish coating before depositing the metal on the paper substrate.
14 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising applying a lacquer to the foil paper before coupling the foil paper to the insulation pad.
15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising moisturizing the foil paper before applying the lacquer to the foil paper.
16 . A method of forming an insulation liner, the method comprising:
depositing a metal on a surface of a substrate to form a metallic layer;
laminating a paper layer onto the metallic layer of the substrate to form a foil paper;
separating the foil paper from the substrate; and
coupling the foil paper to an insulation pad.
17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising coating the surface of the substrate with a lacquer coating before depositing the metal on the surface of the substrate.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the substrate is a polyethylene film.
19 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising laminating the paper layer onto the metallic layer using a wet lamination process.
20 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising laminating the paper layer onto the metallic layer using a dry lamination process.
