The insulated body has an internal cavity that is accessible through an opening and has a cross-sectional shape. The insulated lid is configured for selectively closing the opening to the internal cavity when the lid is in a closed position. The stretchable strap is removably attachable to each of the insulated body and the insulated lid. The stretchable strap is configured to stretch and attach to a lug on the insulated body to selectively hold the insulated lid in the closed position and further configured to retain the insulated lid to the insulated body when the lid is in an opened position. The insulated shipping container system may also include a freezable cold pack having a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the internal cavity.
