Abstract
A nested insulated packaging assembly includes: an outer box including an outer top side wall, an outer bottom side wall, and a plurality of outer lateral side walls; an inner box received in the outer box, the inner box including an inner top side wall, an inner bottom side wall, and a plurality of inner lateral side walls; a first thermal liner contacting a one of the outer lateral side walls of the outer box and a one of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box; and a second thermal liner contacting a second of the outer lateral side walls of the outer box and a second of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box.

A nested insulated packaging assembly comprising:
- an outer box including an outer top side wall, an outer bottom side wall, and a plurality of outer lateral side walls, the outer top side wall disposed opposite from the outer bottom side wall, the plurality of outer lateral side walls disposed between the outer top side wall and the outer bottom side wall;
- an inner box received in the outer box, the inner box including an inner top side wall, an inner bottom side wall, and a plurality of inner lateral side walls, the inner top side wall disposed opposite from the inner bottom side wall, the plurality of inner lateral side walls disposed between the inner top side wall and the inner bottom side wall, the inner top side wall defining a top outer surface, the top outer surface comprising a first material, the plurality of inner lateral side walls defining a lateral outer surface and a lateral inner surface, the lateral inner surface disposed opposite from the lateral outer surface, the lateral inner surface at least partially defining an inner storage cavity within the inner box, the lateral outer surface and the lateral inner surface each comprising the first material;
- a first thermal liner defining a first outer surface and a first inner surface, the first outer surface defined opposite from the first inner surface, the first thermal liner comprising a top fold, a back fold, and a bottom fold, the top fold and the bottom fold folded relative to the back fold so that the first thermal liner is C-shaped, the first outer surface contacting a one of the outer lateral side walls, the outer bottom side wall, and the outer top side wall of the outer box, the first inner surface contacting the top outer surface, the first inner surface contacting the lateral outer surface at a one of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box;
- and
- a second thermal liner defining a second outer surface and a second inner surface, the second outer surface defined opposite from the second inner surface, the second thermal liner comprising a left fold, a front fold, and a right fold, the left fold and the right fold folded relative to the front fold so that the second thermal liner is C-shaped, the second outer surface contacting a second, a third, and a fourth of the outer lateral side walls of the outer box, the second inner surface contacting the lateral outer surface at a second of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box.

A method of assembling a nested insulated packaging comprising:
- positioning a first thermal liner in an outer box, the first thermal liner comprising a top fold, a back fold, and a bottom fold, the outer box including an outer top side wall, an outer bottom side wall, and a plurality of outer lateral side walls, wherein positioning the first thermal liner comprises:
- folding the bottom fold relative to the back fold,
- covering the outer bottom side wall with the bottom fold, and
- covering a one of the outer lateral side walls with the back fold;
- positioning a second thermal liner in the outer box, the second thermal liner comprising a left fold, a front fold, and a right fold, wherein positioning the second thermal liner comprises:
- folding the left fold and the right fold in a same direction relative to the front fold so that the second thermal liner is C-shaped, and
- covering a second, a third, and a fourth of the outer lateral side walls with the second thermal liner;
- positioning an inner box in the outer box, the inner box including an inner top side wall, an inner bottom side wall, and at least one inner lateral side wall, the inner top side wall defining a top outer surface, the top outer surface comprising a first material, the at least one inner lateral side wall defining a lateral outer surface and a lateral inner surface, the lateral inner surface disposed opposite from the lateral outer surface, the lateral inner surface at least partially defining an inner storage cavity within the inner box, the lateral outer surface and the lateral inner surface each comprising the first material, the first thermal liner contacting the lateral outer surface at a one of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box, and the second thermal liner contacting the lateral outer surface at a second of the inner lateral side walls of the inner box;
- and
- folding the top fold relative to the back fold so that the first thermal liner is C-shaped, the top fold contacting the top outer surface of the inner top side wall.
