Abstract (en)
A compact container with a high degree of thermal insulation for transporting products, particularly for primary health care, can be folded to a flat pack for ease of storage. The container is formed from a single sheet (14) of flexible sheet material, which can be wiped clean, defining wall panels (2-12). Each wall panel has a pocket (18) containing a vacuum insulation panel (40) formed of fumed silicon dioxide with pores having dimensions in the nanometer range. Free edges of the sheet (14) have flaps (24, 28) carrying strips of Velcro tape (26, 30) forming releasable joints for holding the container in the erected condition. <IMAGE>
