A method of delivering goods, the method comprising the steps of: providing a collapsible carrier bag (20), or providing a collapsible transport container (20), wherein the carrier bag (20) or the transport container (20) is provided in a collapsed state (20A); expanding the collapsible carrier bag or transport container in an environment having a pre-determined condition of the environment; loading chilled or frozen goods into an interior storage space of said transport container or carrier bag; and transporting said loaded transport container (20, 20C) or carrier bag (20, 20C) to a destination (DD).

A flat-bottomed bag is formed from a flexible sheet that initially is flat prior to being manipulated to form the bag. The sheet is a laminate of a first web and a second web laminated together by an adhesive layer disposed between the webs. The sheet defines a plurality of serially connected side wall panels collectively defining a vertically extending side wall of the bag, and a plurality of bottom panels respectively connected to the side wall panels at respective fold lines. The bottom panels are folded about the fold lines and are attached together to form a flat bottom wall configured to support the bag in an upright orientation. The adhesive layer is in a partial-coverage pattern that includes adhesive-free regions located along each fold line between each bottom panel and the respective side wall panel connected therewith.

An embodiment includes a bag comprising mesh and film side walls and a reinforcing strip of film; wherein (a) the mesh side wall is sealed to opposing side edges of the film side wall; (b) the reinforcing strip of film is sealed to an upper portion of the mesh side wall and to the opposing side edges of the film side wall; (c) the film side wall has a bottom extension, which is monolithic with the film side wall, extending upwardly and sealed along a lateral extent of a bottom portion of the mesh side wall; (d) the film side wall is non-coplanar with a portion of the bottom extension; (e) another portion of the bottom extension is non-coplanar with the mesh side wall; and (f) a horizontal axis intersects the bottom portion of the film side wall and three portions of the bottom extension.

Packages having raised portions that provide improvements in displaying graphics, such as images and branding.

A collapsible bag is disclosed having a handle and a compartment attached to the handle, the compartment formed of nine panels comprising front and back trapezoidal panels, a rectangular bottom panel, and left and right triangular expansion zones, each triangular expansion zone formed by an isosceles lower triangular panel and first and second congruent, scalene triangles. The expansion zones occur below a midpoint of the height of the compartment and distributes more space near the bottom of the bag while narrowing the bag at the top of the compartment. Moreover, the distance between the top of the isosceles triangular panels when the bag is open is greater than a width of the rectangular bottom panel and less than the handle width.

A grocery transport system comprising a storage facility (600) for goods; the storage facility comprising one or several storage rooms having a controlled environment in that the temperature and the relative humidity of the air in the storage room is controlled so that it is kept within certain predetermined ranges; wherein the goods comprises a plurality of different types of goods sorted into different temperature ranges (TI, TIl, TIll, TIV), each type of goods being stored in a corresponding storage room (650.sub.TI, 650.sub.TII, 650.sub.TIII, 650.sub.TIV) having a temperature in accordance with the corresponding goods temperature range (TI, TIl, TIll, TIV); a loading facility for enabling chilled or frozen goods is to be packed into closable and sealable containers (20); said loading facility comprising a plurality of said closable and sealable containers (20) for use in the distribution of said chilled or frozen goods in an air atmosphere environment; a delivery vehicle for transporting said closable and sealable containers (20), when loaded with a predetermined amount of chilled or frozen goods, to a delivery destination.

An article carrier bag, in particular of the fastfood takeaway type, the bag comprising a bottom and sides (F12, F13) defining inside walls bounding an inside storage space, and being characterized in that at least one gusset element (E1) in a folded state is fitted to and fastened on at least one inside wall of the sides (F12, F13) in two adjacent fastener zones that are separated by a frangible zone (F15) provided in association with at least one side (F12, F13), so as to be capable of bringing the gusset element (E1) into an unfolded state after breaking the frangible zone (F15).

Multi-layer bag for bulk material, comprising at least one layer of material comprising paper or paper-like material, wherein two layers of material are formed by pieces of tube (22, 32) inserted telescopically in one another, wherein a first of the pieces of tube (22) inserted telescopically in one another has at one end (27) an overhang (U1) with respect to a second of the pieces of tube (32) inserted telescopically in one another.
