First Claim
1. An insulated bag comprising:
- a pair of opposing main panels;
a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attached to each main panel, the main panels and the side panels defining a bag cavity within the insulated bag, the insulated bag defining a top end and a bottom end, a bag opening to the bag cavity defined at the top end; and
a handle assembly, the handle assembly comprising a handle portion attached to a base portion, the base portion comprising a base strip, the base strip comprising a first strip and a second strip attached together in facing engagement, a bottom portion of the handle portion being laminated between the first strip and the second strip;
the main panels and the side panels defined in an insulated blank, the insulated blank comprising an insulation batt, a first sheet, and a second sheet, the insulation batt encapsulated between the first sheet and the second sheet, the first sheet attached in facing engagement with the second sheet to form a border, the border extending around a perimeter of the insulation batt, the base portion of the handle assembly being laminated within the border between the first sheet and the second sheet, the border defining at least one slit extending from the top end to the base strip, the at least one slit defined by the first sheet of the border, the handle portion extending outward from the border through the first sheet.
