Modular shipping assembly with insulator wrap and inner insulator boxes

A shipping assembly for transporting refrigerated items, comprising:

• an outer box defining a bottom and an outer box cavity;
• a bottom insulator box assembly received in the outer box cavity and superposed above the bottom of the outer box, the bottom insulator box assembly comprising a closed box defining a bottom insulator box cavity;
• an insulated inner box positioned in the outer box cavity above the bottom insulator box assembly, the insulated inner box defining an inner box cavity, an outer periphery and a ridge;
• an insulation wrap positioned in the outer box cavity, the insulation wrap surrounding the outer periphery of the insulated inner box, the insulation wrap comprising an insulation batt core defining a core surface and a sheet layer attached to the core surface;
• and
• a top insulator box assembly, comprising a top insulator box, wherein the top insulator box defines a top insulator box cavity, the top insulator box comprising a top panel defining a first overhang portion and a second overhang portion;
• wherein the ridge of the insulated inner box defines ridge end portions comprising a front ridge portion and an opposed rear ridge portion, a first side portion extending between the ridge end portions, and a second side portion extending between the ridge end portions opposite the first side portion;
• and
• wherein the first overhang portion of the top panel rests upon the first side portion of the ridge and the second overhang portion of the top panel rests upon the second side portion of the ridge;
• wherein the top insulator box comprises:
• an end panel defining a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a third side, and a fourth side opposite the third side;
• a bottom panel extending from at least a portion of the second side of the end panel, the bottom panel joined to the end panel along a third fold line defining a joint between the bottom panel and the end panel, the bottom panel defining a first side along the third fold line, a second side opposite the third fold line, a third side, and a fourth side opposite the third side;
• a first side panel extending from at least a portion of the third side of the bottom panel and selectably from at least a portion of the third side of the end panel;
• a second side panel extending from at least a portion of the fourth side of the bottom panel;
• a front panel extending from at least a portion of the second side of the bottom panel, the front panel defining a front of the top insulator box;
• and
• the first side panel and the second side panel each extending to and being joined with respective sides of the end panel to form a closed tubular body of the top insulator,
• wherein the top panel of the top insulator box defines a first side, a second side opposite the first side, a third side, and a fourth side opposite the third side;
• and
• wherein a first width of the top panel is greater than a second width of the front of the top insulator box,
• such that the third side of the top panel extends laterally beyond the first side panel to define the first overhang portion of the top panel, and
• such that the fourth side of the top panel extends laterally beyond the second side panel to define the second overhang portion of the top panel.
