Abstract
A shipping container has an inner insulative sleeve having an outer, longitudinally extending, polymer film with lateral edges folded on itself to form a pocket having an opening and sealable by a flap. An assembly has an inner, longitudinally extending, biodegradable film having lateral edges and a longitudinal extending pad composed of textile cuttings and microbial and super-absorbent powders. The inner film extends longitudinally around the pad and is attached to the pad.
Claims24
An insulative packing construction comprising:
- a shipping container having inner surfaces defining an internal cavity of the shipping container;
- a film sleeve disposed within the internal cavity of the shipping container and forming at least one envelope, the envelope defining an interior insulation cavity;
- and
- at least one insulative pad disposed within the interior insulation cavity of the at least one envelope, the at least one insulative pad comprising fibers of material selected from a group consisting of polyester, nylon, acrylic, cotton, polypropylene, denim and combinations thereof, wherein the film sleeve and the at least one insulative pad form a plurality of interlinked insulative panels with the film sleeve providing connections between the plurality of insulative panels, and the film sleeve is perforated at locations between the plurality of interlinked insulative panels where the film sleeve provides the connections.
