Abstract
A storage container system for storing items includes a tote, an insulated shell with a lid. The insulated shell is configured for receiving the tote. The insulated shell includes a base and a plurality of side walls and is foldable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration such that the tote fits inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration. The lid is configured for closing the tote inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration.

A storage container system for storing one or more items, the storage container system comprising:
- a tote having an internal cavity configured for storing the one or more items, wherein the internal cavity is at least partially bounded by a bottom and a plurality of walls;
- an insulated shell configured for receiving the tote, wherein the insulated shell includes a base and a plurality of side walls, wherein the insulated shell is foldable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, wherein each of the plurality of the side walls of the insulated shell is pivotably attached to the base with a respective hinge structure comprising a structural foam, wherein the tote fits inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration;
- and
- a removable insulated lid configured for engaging the insulated shell and for closing the tote inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration.
A storage container for storing one or more items, the storage container comprising:
- a tote having an internal cavity adapted for selectively storing the one or more items, wherein the internal cavity is at least partially bounded by a bottom and a plurality of walls;
- an insulated shell adapted for receiving the tote, wherein the insulated shell includes a base and a plurality of side walls, wherein the insulated shell is adapted to transition between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration, wherein each of the plurality of the side walls of the insulated shell is pivotably attached to the base with a respective hinge structure formed at least in part from a closed cell foam, wherein the tote is received in the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration;
- and
- an insulated lid adapted for engaging the insulated shell and adapted for closing the tote inside the insulated shell when the insulated shell is in the expanded configuration.
