Abstract
A box blank assembly includes a box blank, the box blank includes a bottom panel; a first side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first length fold line; a second side panel attached to the bottom panel by a second length fold line; and a third side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first width fold line; and an insulation batt attached to at least one of the first side panel, the second side panel, and the third side panel.
Claims18
A box blank assembly comprising:
- a box blank, the box blank comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a first side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first length fold line;
- a second side panel attached to the bottom panel by a second length fold line;
- and
- a third side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first width fold line, the bottom panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the third side panel together at least partially defining an inner surface of the box blank and an outer surface of the box blank, the inner surface being substantially planar;
- and
- an insulation batt attached to the outer surface;
- and
- wherein the first side panel, the second side panel, and the third side panel are insulated;
- and
- wherein:
- the insulation batt comprises a repulpable insulation material formed of a mixture of cellulose fiber and between about 2% and about 25% thermoplastic binder fiber distributed substantially randomly within the cellulose fiber;
- the thermoplastic binder is adhered to the cellulose fiber;
- and
- subjecting the repulpable insulation material to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.

An insulated blank assembly comprising:
- an unfolded cardboard blank, the unfolded cardboard blank defining an inner surface and
- an outer surface, the inner surface and the outer surface being substantially planar,
- the unfolded cardboard blank comprising:
- a bottom panel;
- a first side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first length fold line, the first side panel positioned parallel to the bottom panel;
- a second side panel attached to the bottom panel by a second length fold line, the second side panel positioned parallel to the bottom panel;
- a third side panel attached to the bottom panel by a first width fold line, the third side panel positioned parallel to the bottom panel;
- and
- a fourth side panel attached to the bottom panel by a second width fold line, the fourth side panel positioned parallel to the bottom panel, the inner surface and the outer surface extending over the bottom panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the third side panel, and the fourth side panel;
- and
- at least one insulation batt attached to the outer surface, at least the first side panel, the second side panel, the third side panel, and the fourth side panel being insulated by the at least one insulation batt;
- and
- wherein:
- the insulation batt comprises a repulpable insulation material formed of a mixture of cellulose fiber and between about 2% and about 25% thermoplastic binder fiber distributed substantially randomly within the cellulose fiber;
- the thermoplastic binder is adhered to the cellulose fiber;
- and
- subjecting the repulpable insulation material to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.
