Abstract: A method for connecting insulation panels, each of the panels comprising a cellulosic web having two sides and an outside edge, and comprising layers of cellulosic fibers, the method comprising: a) arranging a portion of each panel to be adjacent to the other, thereby forming an edge portion where the two webs can be connected; b) relaxing the fibers of cellulosic material in the edge portion of each insulation panel by applying heat to the edge portion at a temperature of 150° F. to 450° F., thereby forming a relaxed fiber edge portion; c) compressing the relaxed fiber edge portion of each insulation panel at a pressure of at least 5 psig, thereby forming a compressed panel portion having a thickness and a density; and d) fastening the compressed panel portions together using sewing, riveting, adhesive, tape, interlacing, stamping, ply bonding or stapling thereby forming a fastened area, wherein step (c) can be conducted at the same time or following step (b).

Abstract: A process for producing bags comprising: feeding a bottom web, a first side web and a second side web in a conversion process, each of the webs having a first side edge and a second side edge, wherein the first side edge of the first side web is aligned with the first side edge of the second side web, the second side edge of the first side web is aligned with the first side edge of the bottom web, and the second side edge of the second side web is aligned with the second side edge of the bottom web, thereby forming an inverted T-shaped web comprising a base having first and second wing portions and a riser, wherein the first wing portion comprises the bottom web and first side web, the second wing portion comprises the bottom web and the second side web, and the riser comprises the first and second side webs; sewing the first side web to the bottom layer in the first wing portion with a repeating pattern comprising a truncated triangle having a narrow portion and wider portion, and a tab separating the tri

Abstract: An insulating container liner comprising a first sectioned insulating panel piece comprising an insulating material and a thermoplastic shell enclosing the insulating material, wherein the first sectioned insulating paneling piece forms the bottom, a side and top of the insulating container liner; a second sectioned insulating panel piece comprising an insulating material, and a thermoplastic shell enclosing the insulating material, wherein the second sectioned insulating paneling piece forms the remaining three sides of the insulating container liner; and a flexible outer bag housing the first and second sectioned insulating panel pieces wherein the bag is attached to the first and second sectioned insulating panel pieces.

Abstract: A recyclable expandable insulating liner comprising: a web of multilayer cellulose-based material configured to form a one-piece box shape when expanded, comprising four side panels and a bottom panel, wherein each side panel is connected to adjacent side panels and the bottom panel, and at least one of the side panels comprise an intra-panel connection line connecting two sections of the panel.

Abstract: An insulated carrying bag comprising: a. a multilayer first panel comprising a top free edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge a second side edge, a strengthened section comprising strengthening material, and a holding aperture positioned in the strengthened section; b. a multilayer second panel comprising a top free edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge and a second side edge, a strengthened section comprising strengthening material, and a holding aperture positioned in the strengthened section; and c.

Abstract: A packaging system comprising a panel and a storage device, wherein the panel comprises an insulator and a primary pouch enclosing the insulator. The primary pouch may have a ventilation hole. The storage device is configured to contain the panel in a compressed state. The storage device may be a secondary impermeable pouch, a set of rigid or semi-rigid platforms, or a set of restraint devices. The packaging system may be compressed using a press.
