A containment device that converts between three different configurations or forms and includes a multilayer base. The forms include: 1) a mat or work surface that has a raised lip or edge structure that contains items on the mat or work surface; 2) a small volume bag or flexible container for holding the items inside, where the lip is gathered or compacted, e.g., by a drawstring, to form an annulus from the lip; and 3) a larger-volume, cylindrical-shaped bag, which may be used as a shopping bag. The cylindrical-shaped bag may be stored between the layers of the base when the device is in the mat configuration or the drawstring bag configuration, and the lip may be stored between the layers of the base when the device is in the cylindrical-shaped bag configuration.

A soft-side container is sized to fit inside larger luggage such as a suitcase. It has a peripheral zipper that aids in compressing the contents of the container when it is loaded, such as with clothing, thereby tending to take less space in the suitcase. It also has a suspension system permitting the container to be hung from a hanger rod, or from another container of the same type, in a cascade of shelves. To aid in this function, the container has an expanding side wall, and also a form-preserving spreader that tends to cause the container to hold itself in a generally planar configuration to function more effectively as a shelf.

A bag or a rucksack has a base part having an enlargeable packing volume and first and second connection elements, between which a flexible wall element is arranged. A first packing volume is formed when the first and second connection elements are connected and the wall element is arranged in the first packing volume at least in part, and an expanded packing volume is formed when the first and second connection elements are separated. An additional part is provided which has an additional packing volume, and a first additional connection element is provided on the wall element and a second additional connection element is provided on the additional part. The additional part can be fastened to the base part by means of the additional connection elements.
