A first part of a hook and pile fastener is then secured to the outer pocket covering the entrance opening to completely and permanently enclose the insulating blanket in the outer pocket. The other part of the fastener is secured to the other end of the jacket assembly on the other face to allow the ends to be connected together after the wrap is placed around the container.
