A two-panel bag constructed from first and second panels that each has the same shape and size. The panels are connected together and a top edge is open for accessing the interior space. The top edge of the panels form handles that can be tied together to close the interior space. The two panels have a laterally inverted shape relative to a centerline. The top edge of each panel further includes two identical sections that each has a vertically-and-rotationally inverted shape. The shape of the panels facilitates manufacturing as the panels can be cut from a flat sheet with limited or no wasted material.

The invention is directed to a cartridge bin and a rotatable drum.
