Abstract: An insulation or cushioning product including a first panel that may include a second layer having a second width and including one or more extension portions. The first panel may include a core layer having a first width less than the second width and including a first continuous paper sheet formed into a first plurality of flexible loops disposed on and attached to the second layer, and defining a first plurality of air channels that extend in a direction that is substantially perpendicular with a length direction of the first panel. The second layer may cover at least a portion of one or more edges of the core layer and covers at least a portion of a top or bottom surface of the core panel. The one or more extension portions may have an extension width greater than or equal to a thickness of the core layer.

Abstract: Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.

Abstract: An insulation panel has an insulation core layer disposed that includes at least a first particulate and a second particulate of a plurality of discrete puffed polysaccharide particulates that defines a plurality of voids within the core layer. The first particulate is at least partially adhered to at least the second particulate at one or more bonded areas without the use of external non-water-soluble adhesives.

Abstract: Briefly described, embodiments of the presently disclosed subject matter relate to void fill packaging products and one or more methods for making the void fill packaging products. The void fill packaging product is configured to cushion items for transport whether that be shipping long distances, local delivery, or self-transport in a vehicle. Specifically, in one aspect, a void fill product for packaging, may include a single spiraled continuous paper sheet surrounding a hollow center and forming at least two layers that overlap in a first direction. The portions of the at least two layers may overlap and may be mechanically joined in a second direction that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction.
