Abstract
A thermally insulative liner for a box is described. The liner includes a base and a plurality of sidewalls. Each sidewall extends from the base thereby to define an opening opposite the base. Each of the plurality of sidewalls includes an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of channels formed between the inner surface and the outer surface and extending parallel with the inner surface and the outer surface. A first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls contacts two other sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls. One or more of the plurality of channels in the first sidewall is closed at opposing ends by the respective inner surfaces of the two other sidewalls.

A thermally insulative liner for a box, the liner comprising:
- a base;
- and
- a plurality of sidewalls, each sidewall extending from the base thereby to define an opening opposite the base;
- wherein
- each of the plurality of sidewalls comprises:
- an inner surface;
- an outer surface;
- and
- a plurality of channels formed between the inner surface and the outer surface and extending parallel with the inner surface and the outer surface;
- a first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls contacts two other sidewalls of the plurality of sidewalls;
- a width of the first sidewall, at least somewhere along its length, is greater than a width of the first sidewall at the base;
- one or more of the plurality of channels in the first sidewall is closed at opposing ends by the respective inner surfaces of the two other sidewalls;
- and
- each plurality of channels is formed by a fluted or corrugated sheet sandwiched between the respective inner surface and the respective outer surface.
