A system for enhanced conveying of flexible packages includes a packaging system, an inflation system, and a conveying system. The packaging system is configured to place an object in a flexible package. The inflation system is configured to insert a gas into the flexible package. The packaging system is further configured to seal an edge of the flexible package in an inflated state with the object and the inserted gas inside the flexible package. The conveying system is configured to convey the flexible package while the flexible package is substantially in the inflated state. The flexible package is configured to permit gas to escape the flexible package at a controlled flow rate such that the flexible package remains substantially in the inflated state while being conveyed by the conveying system and the flexible package transitions to being substantially in a deflated state after being conveyed by the conveying system.

A collapsible bag for use in dispensing gaseous fluids, the collapsible bag including three collapsible enclosures. Two of the collapsible enclosures have respective fluid paths extending from internal to external of the outer enclosure. The configuration of the food quality of an inner enclosures and the integrity of the third outer enclosure and as well as the relative volume of one inner enclosure to the outer enclosures effects the dispensing mechanism of the pressure which allows transfer of the pressure without fluid interaction to another of the at inner collapsible enclosures and selective dispensing.

A two-layer flexible packaging container for storing a beverage includes an inner bag and an outer packaging container; the inner bag is mounted inside the outer packaging container; the inner bag has a beverage inlet-outlet pipe; the beverage inlet-outlet pipe is mounted on the inner bag, and an opening of the beverage inlet-outlet pipe extends through the outer packaging container and protrudes out; and the outer packaging container is provided with a gas inlet-outlet pipe capable of being in communication with an external gas source. As the inner bag and the outer packaging container are provided, the influence of the gas on the beverage quality can be effectively avoided, and the cleansing of the inner bag is more convenient and quicker; and the outer packaging container can be made of other ordinary materials since it is not in direct contact with the beverage, greatly reducing the production cost.

A ready-to-administer antioxidant free phenylephrine compositions has improved stability and is optionally free of metal chelating agents. Contemplated compositions are preferably packaged into a flexible polymer bag and maintain degradation of the phenylephrine at remarkably low levels, even over extended storage periods.
