Introducing VIBB (Vacuum Insulated Bag-or-Box) The Next-Generation Vacuum Insulation Solution for Temperature-Sensitive Transport and Storage in Medical, Food, and Chemical Logistics - Versatile, Efficient, and Energy Efficient
General Product Description
Ü The Vacuum Insulated Bag-or-Box (VIBB) is a significant advancement in the application of flexible vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) and with the use of PU (Polyurethane) to improve load bearing capacity, configured as boxes, bags, or carts. These are designed to maintain the internal temperature, either cold or hot, of the contained materials for extended periods without the need for ice, refrigeration, or electricity. This innovation is particularly useful in various applications, including the transportation and temporary storage involved in cold chain logistics, as well as in the handling of special pharmaceuticals, chemicals, fresh and frozen foods, and other products requiring long-duration temperature control. Recognizing the diverse range of applications, we have developed and differentiated the VIBB into four distinct types: (1) Medical Box, (2) Deep Cold Box, (3) Rolling Cart Cover, and (4) Fresh Bag. Each type of VIBB boasts unique characteristics and specifications tailored to meet specific requirements.
Key Characteristics
Ü Cold-Arid Applications
l In cold-arid regions, maintaining warmth is crucial for many applications, from emergency medical services to the transport of temperature-sensitive goods that could freeze and become unusable or lose their efficacy in extremely cold conditions.

These boxes are engineered with standard dimensions, offering a range of sizes, capacities, and weights to meet various storage needs. Each Deep Cold Box features a sealed Velcro closure at the top and includes a special mesh bag designed for securing specimens, materials, or refrigerants.
Ü A standout feature of the Deep Cold Box is its integration of real-time temperature monitoring and a positioning system, ensuring the contents’ temperature is constantly tracked and the box’s location is known, enhancing the security and reliability of transporting sensitive items. The boxes are constructed with an outer layer of ultra-high strength aluminium film, enhancing their durability and thermal reflection properties. The core of the box incorporates an advanced Polyurethane Vacuum Insulation Panel (PU-VIP) structure, which not only enhances the box’s insulation properties but also significantly increases its load-bearing capacity. The foldable version of the Deep Cold Box offers additional convenience, making it easier to store and transport when not in use.
Ü Primarily designed for the prolonged temperature-controlled storage of frozen foods, the Deep Cold Box leverages the superior insulation properties of its materials. Specifically, the thermal conductivity of the PU-VIP, with 30 mm of PU and 10 mm of VIP, is measured at 7mW/(mK). In comparison, a standard Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) insulation panel with a 30 mm thickness has a thermal conductivity of 35mW/(mK). This means that the PU-VIP used in the Deep Cold Box is 5 times more efficient in terms of thermal insulation compared to XPS panels, offering superior performance for maintaining low temperatures over extended periods.
