Insulated container

A method of assembling an insulated container assembly, the method comprising:

• folding a first main panel of an insulated liner about a first crease line relative to a first side panel of the insulated liner;
• folding a second main panel of the insulated liner about a second crease line relative to the first side panel;
• folding a second side panel of the insulated liner about a third crease line relative to the second main panel, the insulated liner defined by an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising an insulation batt adhesively attached to a sheet, the sheet comprising cardboard, the insulation batt comprising a repulpable insulation material, the repulpable insulation material comprising paper fiber and thermoplastic binder fibers interlocking the paper fiber, a first portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 1 mm, a second portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 6 mm, the repulpable insulation material producing 93% or greater fiber yield when subjected to a repulpability test, the insulation batt and the sheet extending continuously through the first crease line, the second crease line, and the third crease line;
• positioning the first main panel in contact with the second side panel;
• inserting the insulated liner into a box cavity of a cardboard box, the cardboard box comprising a plurality of box side panels, the sheet at least partially defining an insulated container cavity within the box cavity;
• positioning the first main panel in contact with a first box side panel of the plurality of box side panels;
• positioning the first side panel in contact with a second box side panel of the plurality of box side panels;
• positioning the second main panel in contact with a third box side panel of the plurality of box side panels;
• and
• positioning the second side panel in contact with a fourth box side panel of the plurality of box side panels.

An insulated container comprising:

• a first main panel;
• a first side panel connected to the first main panel by a first crease line;
• a second main panel connected to the first side panel by a second crease line;
• and
• a second side panel connected to the second main panel by a third crease line, the first main panel, the first side panel, the second main panel, and the second side panel at least partially defining an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface defined by a first sheet of paper-based material, the first sheet at least partially defining a container cavity, the outer surface defined by a second sheet of paper-based material, an insulation batt positioned between the first sheet and the second sheet, the insulation batt adhered to the first sheet, the insulation batt extending through the first crease line, the second crease line, and the third crease line, the insulation batt comprising a repulpable insulation material, the repulpable insulation material comprising paper fiber and thermoplastic binder fibers interlocking the paper fiber, a first portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 1 mm, a second portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 6 mm, the repulpable insulation material producing 93% or greater fiber yield when subjected to a repulpability test.

An insulated container comprising:

• a main panel;
• and
• a side panel attached to the main panel, the main panel and the side panel at least partially defining a container cavity within the insulated container;
• and
• wherein the main panel and the side panel comprise a repulpable insulation material, the repulpable insulation material comprising paper fiber and thermoplastic binder fibers interlocking the paper fiber, a first portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 1 mm, a second portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers defining a length of 6 mm, the repulpable insulation material producing 93% or greater fiber yield when subjected to a repulpability test.
