Abstract (en)
A thermally insulating packaging system comprising insulated walls surrounding an internal cavity. At least one of the faces of the packaging system is insulated with a first type of thermal insulating material and the remaining faces of the packaging system are insulated with a second type of insulating material. The first insulation material is a Vacuum Insulation Panel (VIP) having a substantially constant thickness. The VIP is fitted to a frame, which is formed by a single piece of the second insulation material. Here, the second insulating material is a shaped insulating foam such as an expanded or extruded polymer foam material formed into a complex shape having varying wall thickness. The frame provides a support for the VIP via a contact surface. The VIP is held in contact with the frame. Here, the frame can be shaped and sized so as to provide a positive holding force. Additionally or alternatively, an outer cover can be used such as a rigid external fitting, flexible cover, shrinkable or elastic cover or other means.
