A wall panel for an insulating container comprising an insulating layer 32 with grooves, channels or sleeves for receiving one or more coolant packs, the wall having a backing layer attached to the insulating layer extending beyond the insulating layer so to, in use, at least partly overlap a base panel. The backing layer may also extend upwards from the insulating layer for location of a cover or top panel, which may include handles. The insulating layer may be plastics, e.g. polystyrene and the backing layer corrugated cardboard. The insulating layer may have a base component 38 having a flat front face 40 a channel-forming facing 44 having a rib 46 engaging face 40 to form closed channels for coolant packs. A reinforcing layer 36 e.g. cardboard may be provided on an internal face of the panel. The container may be formed from several types of wall panel having fastenings e.g. hook and loops fasteners to attach to one another. The handles may project beyond the edges of the container to protect the container from strapping during transport.
