Abstract
An insulated bag includes a pair of opposing main panels; and a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag; the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank including a first paper layer; and a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer, the paper fiber pad having paper reinforcement fibers interlocked with about 2% to about 25% by weight of a meltable PE/PP bi-component thermoplastic binder fiber distributed substantially randomly, wherein subjecting the repulpable shipping container to a repulpability test produces greater than 85% fiber yield.
Claims9
An insulated bag comprising:
- a pair of opposing main panels;
- and
- a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag;
- the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising:
- a first paper layer;
- and
- a paper fiber pad coupled to the first paper layer, the paper fiber pad having paper reinforcement fibers interlocked with about 10% by weight of thermoplastic binder fibers distributed substantially randomly, wherein subjecting the paper fiber pad to a repulpability test produces about 93% fiber yield;
- and
- wherein a first portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers has a length of about 1 mm, and a second portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers has a length of about 6 mm.
An insulated bag comprising:
- a pair of opposing main panels;
- and
- a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag;
- the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising:
- a first paper layer;
- and
- a paper fiber batt coupled to the first paper layer, the paper fiber batt including paper fibers bound together by thermoplastic binder fibers;
- and
- wherein subjecting the paper fiber batt to a repulpability test produces about 93% fiber yield;
- and
- wherein a first portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers has a length of about 1 mm, and a second portion of the thermoplastic binder fibers has a length of about 6 mm.
