A woven laminated plastic bag having features that prevent leakage of contents out of the bag, or infestation of organisms into the contents of the bag is provided. In various aspects the bag can be fabricated from woven polypropylene and/or polyethylene layer which can be laminated with a film layer, can form a pinch bottom bag, and can have one or both sides include graphics and/or printing. The bag can also provide a top end and/or a bottom end either or both of which provide a discrete area which may contain discrete graphics and/or printing. The bag can also include a sealed closure that at least a portion of which can be easily peeled open with less force than the remainder of the sealed closure.

A compactly transportable collapsible frame for supporting a soft bag accommodating perishable goods comprises: (a) a rectangular carrying sub-frame; (b) at least two supporting members releasably connectable to said rectangular carrying sub-frame. The rectangular carrying sub-frame comprises four successively connected to each other Γ-like shaped members. Each Γ-like shaped member comprises a main elongate portion having a longitudinal axis and first and second terminal connectors oriented is along and perpendicularly to the axis, respectively

Provided is a fitment bistable pull-snap hold open mechanism including a flexible first and second flat, strip like members with one or more pivot members integrated into the second flat, strip like member. The first flat, strip like member is coupled to the second flat, strip like member at their respective ends with two or more bonding points. The one or more pivot members include a vertical living hinge and a flexure, which allows the mechanism to be biased between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The vertical living hinge does not extend to the top edge or the bottom edge of the second flat, strip like member to improve the integrity of the mechanism. The first and second flat, strip like members are applied proximate the opening of a flexible package on the inside walls and allow the package to be maintained in the open position for removing its contents.

The thermal bag (2) is made of thermally insulating composite material folded to form a bottom and welded along lateral borders (3) to form a body (1) of the bag with a mouth (5) at the level of which a handle (7A, 7B) is applied. The composite material defines a bottom folded in an accordion-like fashion opposite the mouth of the bag, and a laminar stiffening element (15) of the accordion-like bottom is disposed inside the bag.

A collapsible container is provided having an outer liner defining a top, a bottom and vertical sides and an inner liner defining a plurality of sides corresponding to the vertical sides of the outer liner. The inner liner is attached to the outer liner at least at one of the top and the bottom of the outer liner, and each side of the inner liner defines a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges which extend vertically. A sleeve is attached to each of the edges of the inner liner at the top, bottom, and sides thereof. The sleeves define substantially circular tubes. A flexible frame is located between the outer liner and the inner liner and disposed within the plurality of sleeves to provide a flexible support and permits collapse and/or folding of the container.

A pouch container has a gas filling space therein, and includes a first wall section and a second wall section. The first wall section includes a first tongue-shaped portion. The second wall section includes a second tongue-shaped portion and overlapping the first tongue-shaped portion. A projection length of the second tongue-shaped portion is longer than that of the first tongue-shaped portion. A gas injection portion is provided in which an injection port communicating with the gas filling space is formed by joining both end portions of both the first tongue-shaped portion and the second tongue-shaped portion in a width direction, and the injection port is defined by a tip end portion of the first tongue-shaped portion in a projection direction and the second tongue-shaped portion at a portion facing the tip end portion.

A washable laundry bag includes a water permeable and air permeable material that forms a wall of a laundry bag and means for expanding the wall of the bag to substantially match an interior surface of a washing machine tub or a dryer drum. The means may be magnets that couple the bag to the interior of the tub or drum, spring mechanisms that spring the walls of the bag outwardly, or a combination thereof.
