An insulating paperboard contains at least one layer of cellulose fibers. The one layer is at least partially composed of bulky fibers. The paperboard is sufficiently insulated to provide a hot water ΔT across the paperboard of at least 0.7째 C.짹2.3째 C. per 0.1 mm of caliper. The paperboard may be embossed to decrease surface transmission of heat. A hot cup may be produced from the insulating paperboard.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A container made from an insulating paperboard comprising: a sidewall and a bottom wall, said sidewall comprising an insulating paperboard having at least one layer of cellulose fibers, at least some of the cellulose fibers in said at least one layer being crosslinked cellulosic fibers present in an amount from 25% to 100% of said at least one layer, said paperboard being sufficiently insulating to provide a hot water ΔT across said paperboard of at least 0.7째 C.짹2. 3째 C. per 0.1 mm of caliper, said paperboard having a density of less than 0.5 g/cc, said paperboard having a basis weight of from 200 gsm to 500 gsm, the caliper of said paperboard being greater than or equal to 0. 5 mm. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein said paperboard has a basis weight greater than or equal to 250 gsm. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein said paperboard has a hot water ΔT of 9째 C.짹2.3째 C. at a caliper of 0.6 mm and a hot water ΔT of 14째 C.짹2.3째 C. at a caliper of 1.25 mm, said hot water ΔT being a substantially linear progression relative to caliper in the temperature range from below 9째 C. to above 14째 C. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein said linear progression extends from a ΔT of 9째 C. to a ΔT of 14째 C. 5. The container of claim 1, wherein said paperboard is at least a two-ply board, at least one ply containing said crosslinked cellulose fibers. 6. The container of claim 1 comprising a hot cup.
