Abstract: A method of manufacturing a modular box assembly comprises constructing an insulation batt by combining thermoplastic binder fibers and reinforcement fibers in a fibrous web and heating the batt to a temperature exceeding a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic binder fibers and melting of the thermoplastic binder fibers. Pre-laminated material is constructed by attaching a first sheet in facing contact with the insulation batt and attaching a second sheet in facing contact with the insulation batt opposite the first sheet. The pre-laminated material is cut to size to define first and second laminated members. Portions of the laminated member are folded to form first and second thermal liners. The first and second thermal liners are positioned in a box cavity defined by a box such that the first thermal liner and the second thermal liner together form an insulated cavity within the box cavity.

Abstract: An insulating panel includes a vacuum insulation panel and insulating material. The vacuum insulation panel includes a core material and a coating material, wherein the core material provides an annular groove on one side, the coating material envelops the core material, and a vacuum is formed between the core material and the coating material; the insulating material is arranged in the annular groove enveloped by the coating material, the insulating material is located on the same plane as the vacuum insulation panel, and the thermal resistance of the insulating material is higher than the thermal resistance of the coating material. The disclosed insulating panel reduce the heat transfer to the edges and inside of the vacuum insulation panel through the insulating material. This reduction lowers the “thermal bridging effect” at the edges of the vacuum insulation panel, thereby achieving effective thermal insulation.
