These liner bags offer impressive thermal performance over several hours—sometimes up to 24–48 hours depending on the refrigerant and external conditions. This duration makes them ideal for same-day, overnight, or short-haul regional shipping. For pharmaceuticals, meal kits, dairy, seafood, and cosmetics, insulated liners offer a reliable solution for safe product delivery within critical time windows. While not always biodegradable, many insulated liner bags use fewer materials and generate less waste than expanded polystyrene foam containers. Some advanced liners are made from recycled plastics, post-industrial foam, or recyclable bubble wrap. By minimizing packaging volume and using less raw material, they reduce environmental impact compared to bulkier alternatives.
