Abstract: Described are various embodiments of a flexible container, envelope or enclosure having one or more sealable side pouches for maintaining therein a material capable of transferring or extracting heat to or from a sealable inner compartment. The flexible container, envelope or enclosure is generally formed by layering and folding an inner thermally-conductive material sheet and substantially non-thermally-conductive outer sheet of material and sealing about the open edges thereof so as to form distinct compartments of the side pouches, and the inner compartment. Each of the side pouches and inner compartment may be reversibly sealable. In some embodiments the outer sheet is a made from a reflective insulated metalized polymeric bubble sheet.
