48-72+ hours of protection for frozen and refrigerated shipments

PopupLiner™: Engineered to Outperform. Designed to Save Space.

PopupLiner™ features patented vacuum-compressed insulation panels that deliver strong thermal protection while shipping and storing flat—helping reduce warehouse space, inbound freight, and handling costs.

The only certified curbside recyclable, paper liner rated for 72-hour refrigerated shipping. Unlike cellulose liners that require special handling, CelluLiner™ goes straight into your recycling bin—nationwide. Experience true satisfaction with insulation that actually gets recycled and proven to keep your products cold. 

High Performance Without the Bulk

PopupLiner™ is a two-piece insulated box liner that transforms a standard shipping carton into a temperature-controlled packaging solution.

Its patented, vacuum-compressed panels combine ultra high-performance foam insulation with a reflective metalized outer sleeve to provide reliable thermal protection while remaining lightweight, flexible, and easy to store.


Unlike rigid insulated packaging, PopupLiner™ ships and stores flat, helping reduce warehouse space, inbound freight, and handling costs. Its panels quickly expand and assemble inside the carton, ready for temperature-sensitive products and refrigerants such as gel packs or dry ice.

PopupLiner™ is also available in custom sizes to fit your specific shipping requirements.

What Makes PopupLiner™ Different?

PopupLiner™ combines patented vacuum-compressed insulation technology with a reflective metalized outer sleeve to deliver high-performance thermal protection in a lightweight, flexible format. Unlike bulky rigid insulation solutions, PopupLiner™ ships and stores flat, expands when needed, and quickly converts a standard shipping carton into an efficient temperature-controlled package—helping businesses save valuable storage space while maintaining reliable thermal performance.

Space Efficient

Ships compressed and flat, reducing warehouse space and inbound freight.

Designed to maintain temperature-sensitive products during extended transit.

The panels quickly expand and lock together inside the carton.

Available in standard or custom sizes to fit your shipping configuration.

Creates a structured liner without excessive folding, taping, or assembly.

Suitable for frozen and refrigerated products, including food, pharmaceuticals, and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Built to Fit Your Shipping Needs

PopupLiner™ is a single, high-performance solution available in different insulation thicknesses and custom configurations
to match your carton size, shipping duration, temperature range, and performance requirements.

PopupLiner™ panels arrive vacuum-compressed, allowing them
to be stored and handled efficiently before use. The compact
format helps maximize storage space and simplifies handling
in shipping operations.

Insulation Thickness Options

Choose the thickness based on your performance requirements. Thicker configurations can provide greater thermal resistance
for more demanding conditions and longer transit times.

How It Works

From Flat-Pack Storage to Temperature-Controlled Shipping

PopupLiner™ combines vacuum-compressed insulation, high-performance thermal panels, and reflective barriers to transform a standard shipping carton into a temperature-controlled shipping solution.

01 — Expand

Tear open the outer vacuum sleeve holding multiple compressed panels.

02 — Install

Place the two insulated expanded panels inside a standard shipping carton, where they interlock to create a fully insulated interior.

03 — Load

Add temperature-sensitive products along with the appropriate refrigerant, such as gel packs or dry ice, based on the shipping requirements.

04 — Ship

Close the carton and ship as usual. PopupLiner™ provides thermal protection while remaining lightweight and space-efficient.

One liner. Multiple cold-chain applications.

PopupLiner™ can be configured for a wide range of temperature-sensitive shipments, from frozen food to pharmaceuticals and other products requiring refrigerated or frozen protection.

Frozen Foods

Protect frozen meats, seafood, ice cream, meal kits, and other frozen products during extended transit.

Pharmaceuticals

Support temperature-controlled shipping for vaccines, medications, and other pharmaceutical products.

Refrigerated Foods

Help maintain appropriate temperatures for refrigerated foods, dairy, prepared meals, and other perishables.

Temperature-Sensitive Products

Provide an insulated shipping environment for products that require controlled temperatures during transportation.

Frequenty Asked Questions

How long can PopupLiner™ protect my shipment?

PopupLiner™ can provide effective thermal protection for shipments lasting approximately 48–72+ hours, depending on the packaging configuration, payload, refrigerant, and shipping conditions.

PopupLiner™ is designed primarily as a shipping liner. Contact IPC to determine the best configuration for your specific application and reuse requirements.

Yes. IPC can manufacture custom sizes to fit your specific carton and shipping requirements.

PopupLiner™ can be used for a wide range of temperature-sensitive products, including frozen foods, refrigerated products, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Yes. PopupLiner™ can be used with dry ice and other refrigerants to support extended thermal protection.

The insulation panels are vacuum-compressed, allowing them to ship and store in a compact form. They expand when opened and are assembled inside the shipping carton.

The current standard minimum order quantity is 1,000 sets/pieces per size. Custom requirements can be discussed with IPC.

PopupLiner™ provides a more space-efficient alternative to bulky molded coolers. It ships compressed, requires less storage space, and can be configured to fit the shipping carton.
