My Edgestar dorm-sized medical freezer keeps stuff frozen for 3.5 days, if I open it once or twice a day. That's with daytime temps in the upper 60s and nighttimes in the 50s or below, and no special insulation.
'Medical freezer' means it gets colder than a regular freezer, which in turn means it will keep things frozen longer when unplugged. I have been very happy with this model and recommend it.
The box idea is well-intentioned, but will be a disaster unless you have a fan to remove the heat of the freezer's motor from the box!
In my experience, you do not need the outer box. Just turn your freezer to the coldest setting, keep it full (with bottles of water or food, not insulation) and it will be good for days.
