         11 . A method for thermally insulating a container with a thermally reflective liner, the liner comprising including at least three long panels joined along their long sides forming at least a part of a tube of approximately rectangular cross section, an end panel sealing an end of the at least part tube, flaps for closing a front end of the at least part tube with thermal insulation provided to the space within the liner, and a plurality of loops provided along the joined long sides of the liner, the method comprising the steps of:
 positioning the end panel of the liner at a rear end of an empty container;   attaching pieces of webbing material to corners at the rear end of the container;   feeding each piece of webbing material through the plurality of loops of the liner and through hooks on the container;   loading the container; and   closing the flaps of the liner to enclose contents of the container.   
     
     
         12 . A method for thermally insulating a container with a thermally reflective liner, the liner including at least three long panels joined along their long sides forming at least a part tube of approximately rectangular cross section, an end panel sealing an end of the at least part tube, flaps for closing a front end of the at least part tube with thermal insulation provided to the space within the liner, and a plurality of eyelets provided along the joined long sides of the liner, the method comprising the steps of:
 positioning the end panel of the liner at a rear end of an empty container;   hooking a connecting hook between each eyelet and a corresponding portion of webbing material threaded through container hooks on the container;   loading the container; and   closing the liner to enclose contents of the container.   
     
     
         13 . A method for thermally insulating a container with a thermally reflective liner, the liner including at least three long panels joined along their long sides forming at least a part tube of approximately rectangular cross section, an end panel sealing an end of the at least part tube, flaps for closing a front end of the at least part tube with thermal insulation provided to the space within the liner, and a plurality of loops provided along the joined long sides of the liner, the method comprising the steps of:
 positioning the end panel of the liner spaced from a rear end of the empty container;   attaching pieces of webbing material to corners at the rear end of the container;   feeding each piece of webbing material through the plurality of loops of the liner and through hooks on the container until reaching and attaching to corners at a front end of the container to space the at least three long panels of the liner from at least sides and a top of the container thereby providing an air gap insulating space;   loading the container; and   closing the flaps of the liner to enclose contents of the container.   
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein an additional plurality of loops are provided along a short side of an uppermost one of the long panels and a further piece of webbing material is threaded between the additional plurality of loops on the liner and a plurality of hooks on an uppermost edge of an opening of the container. 
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein the flaps of the liner are overlapped to close the front end of the liner.
