Abstract
A thermocarrier box includes an outer shell and insulated panels coupled to a bottom wall of the outer shell and to side walls of the outer shell. The thermocarrier box includes an inner box positioned within the outer shell such that a bottom wall of the inner box and side walls of the inner box are each coupled to one of the insulated panels. Another insulated panel is positioned over the inner box. A lid is positioned over the another insulated panel such that the another insulated panel is positioned between the lid and the inner box. Methods of assembly are provided.

A thermocarrier box, comprising:
- an outer shell comprising a bottom wall and four side walls each extending from the bottom wall;
- a first vacuum insulated panel coupled to the bottom wall;
- a plurality of second vacuum insulated panels that are each coupled to a different one of the side walls;
- an inner box comprising a bottom wall and four side walls each extending from the bottom wall of the inner box, the bottom wall of the inner box and the side walls of the inner box each being made from a first material, outer surfaces of the bottom wall of the inner box and the side walls of the inner box each being coated with a second material, the inner box being positioned within the outer shell such that the bottom wall of the inner box is coupled to the first vacuum insulated panel and the side walls of the inner box are each coupled to a different one of the second vacuum insulated panels and the first and second vacuum insulated panels directly contact the inner box, the inner box being spaced apart from the outer shell;
- a third vacuum insulated panel positioned over the inner box such that the third vacuum insulated panel engages the side walls of the inner box;
- and
- a lid positioned over the third vacuum insulated panel such that the third vacuum insulated panel is positioned between the lid and the inner box,
- wherein the inner box includes a flange, the flange being spaced apart from the outer shell.
