Abstract
Packaging insulation for insertion into a packaging container, which includes an air laid thermoplastic fibrous batt having foldable thermoplastic film material adhered to both sides of the batt. Preferably the thermoplastic material of which the fibers and film are made is the same, and most preferably it is PET. The resulting method and product provides packaging insulation which can be shipped flat and compressed, which expands when unpacked and which can be readily folded to match the interior configuration of a shipping container, such as a cardboard box.
