A method of assembling an insulated box assembly comprising:
- collapsing an insulated liner comprising:
- folding a first side liner panel of the insulated liner about a first side crease line relative to a first main liner panel of the insulated liner, the first side crease line coupling the first side liner panel to the first main liner panel;
- folding the first main liner panel about a second side crease line relative to a second side liner panel of the insulated liner, the second side crease line coupling the first main liner panel to the second side liner panel;
- and
- folding the second side liner panel about a third side crease line relative to a second main liner panel of the insulated liner, the third side crease line coupling the second side liner panel to the second main liner panel, the first side crease line, the second side crease line, and the third side crease line each extending at least partially from a top liner end of the insulated liner to a bottom liner end of the insulated liner, the insulated liner comprising an insulation batt and a blank sheet, the insulation batt and the blank sheet extending through each of the first side crease line, the second side crease line, and the third side crease line, the blank sheet at least partially defining a liner cavity within the insulated liner, an opening to the liner cavity defined at the top liner end;
- aligning the insulated liner with a box opening of a box, the box defining an internal box cavity, the internal box cavity defining the box opening disposed at a top box end of the box, the box comprising:
- a pair of opposing main box panels,
- a pair of opposing side box panels, each side box panel of the pair of opposing side box panels attached to both main box panels of the pair of opposing main box panels, and
- a bottom box panel, the bottom box panel positioned at a bottom box end of the box, the bottom box panel attached to the main box panels and the side box panels, the main box panels, side box panels, and bottom box panel further defining the internal box cavity;
- and
- inserting the insulated liner into the internal box cavity;
- and
- wherein the first main liner panel remains unfolded.

- a pair of opposing side box panels, each side box panel of the pair of opposing side box panels attached to both main box panels of the pair of opposing main box panels, and
- a bottom box panel, the bottom box panel positioned at a bottom box end of the box, the bottom box panel attached to the main box panels and the side box panels, the main box panels, side box panels, and bottom box panel defining an internal box cavity, the pair of opposing main panels and the pair of opposing side panels defining a box opening to the internal box cavity positioned opposite from the bottom box panel;
- aligning an insulated liner with the box opening of the box, the insulated liner defining a liner top end and a liner bottom end, the insulated liner comprising:
- a first side liner panel;
- a first main liner panel coupled to the first side liner panel by a first side crease line extending at least partially between the liner top end and the liner bottom end;
- a second side liner panel coupled to the first main liner panel by a second side crease line extending at least partially between the liner top end and the liner bottom end;
- a second main liner panel coupled to the second side liner panel by a third side crease line extending at least partially between the liner top end and the liner bottom end;
- and
- a liner bottom positioned at the liner bottom end;
- the first side liner panel, the first main liner panel, the second side liner panel, and the second main liner panel defined by a blank liner panel comprising a blank sheet and an insulation batt, the blank sheet at least partially defining a liner cavity within the insulated liner, the insulation batt and the blank sheet extending through each of the first side crease line, the second side crease line, and the third side crease line;
- and
- inserting the insulated liner into the internal box cavity comprising:
- folding the first side liner panel relative to the first main liner panel about the first side crease line;
- folding the first main liner panel relative to the second side liner panel about the second side crease line;
- folding the second side liner panel relative to the second main liner panel about the third side crease line;
- positioning the first side liner panel in facing engagement with a first side box panel of the pair of opposing side box panels;
- positioning the second side liner panel in facing engagement with a second side box panel of the pair of opposing side box panels;
- positioning the first main liner panel in facing engagement with a first main box panel of the pair of opposing main box panels;
- and
- positioning the second main liner panel in facing engagement with a second main box panel of the pair of opposing main box panels;
- and
- wherein the first main liner panel remains unfolded.
