  • Patent number: 5638979
    Abstract: A shipping or transport container system comprises an inner liner for insertion into an inner shipping container, for further insertion into an outer shipping container. The inner liner comprises a layer of single- or double-bubble radiant barrier material within a sealed vinyl pouch. Between the outer container and the inner container there is furnished at least one spacer insert, which may be a spacer tray or the like, for providing a partially-surrounding pocket of air in contact with the exterior surface of the inner container. During sealing of the pouch, a pocket of air is allowed to remain in its interior so that the radiant barrier material floats within the sealed pouch. The pockets of air provided allow for maximization of the thermal insulating properties of the system due primarily to the thermal reflective property of the radiant barrier material. The vinyl construction of the pouch material provides a durable protective cover for the radiant barrier material.
