174. An insulated bag having a bottom portion, side walls extending upwardly from the bottom portion, and an opening generally opposite the bottom portion, the bag comprising: (9) (5)

a first inner layer;

a first outer layer;

a first insulation layer disposed between the first inner layer and first outer layer;

a planar reinforcing material, wherein the planar reinforcing material shapes the bottom portion and provides structural load bearing capability along its planar direction; and

wherein the insulated bag maintains an internal temperature below 4.4° C. for at least 15 hours when stored at ambient temperature with a cooling agent.

187. The insulated bag of claim 174, wherein the first inner layer extends above a top edge of the first outer layer to form a first flap and second flap configured to fold over the top edge of the first outer layer to enclose the first insulation layer between the first inner layer and the first outer layer. (1) (0)

189. An insulated bag having a bottom portion, side walls extending upwardly from the bottom portion, and an opening generally opposite the bottom portion, the bag comprising: (1) (4)

a first outer layer;

a first inner layer extending above a top edge of the first outer layer to form a first flap and second flap;

a plurality of stacked insulation layers disposed between the first inner layer and first outer layer, and enclosable by the first flap and second flap; and

a planar reinforcing material, wherein the planar reinforcing material shapes the bottom portion and provides structural load bearing capability along its planar direction.

190. The insulated bag of claim 189, wherein the plurality of stacked insulation layers comprises expanded cornstarch. (0)

191. An insulated sleeve, said insulated sleeve comprising: (2) (3)

an insulation layer comprising a continuous layer of nonwoven fibrous material, wherein the continuous layer of nonwoven fibrous material comprises a bast fiber, the continuous layer of nonwoven fibrous material comprising a first side portion, a second side portion, and a middle portion separating the first and second side portions;

an inner layer, wherein the inner layer covers an inner surface of the insulation layer and

an outer layer, wherein the outer layer covers an outer surface of the insulation layer.

192. The insulated sleeve of claim 191, wherein the insulated sleeve maintains an internal temperature below 4.4° C. for at least 25 hours when stored at ambient temperature with a cooling agent. (0)
