A container opening support system, including an annular member and a securement assembly, positionable inside of an open end of a flexible membrane.

A transport bag (15) for transporting and/or storing articles comprises a front wall (21b) and a back wall (21a) that are flexibly connected to one another via a bottom section (21c) so as to be movable back and forth between a first configuration in which the front wall and back wall form an upwardly open bag that can be filled from above, and a second configuration in which the front wall and back wall lie closely alongside one another and form a bag that is folded together, wherein the back wall (21a) is extended upward above and beyond the height of the front wall (21b) with a support section (15a) for fastening the transport bag (15) to a transport device (10.2). Easy filling and emptying of the transport bag (15) is achieved by providing an opening (16, 19, 20) that automatically brings the transport bag (15) into the first configuration and keeps the transport bag there, and allows a deliberate shift from the first configuration into the second configuration.

A method for picking goods (4a . . . 4c) in a picking zone is proposed, whereby at least one bag (6) and a box-shaped loading aid (5a . . . 5d) are provided, the bag (6) is inserted in the box-shaped loading aid (5a . . . 5d), a picking aid (7a . . . 7d) is inserted in the bag (6), goods (4a . . . 4c) are packed in the bag (6) and the box-shaped loading aid (5a . . . 5d) together with the bag (6) and the goods (4a . . . 4c) is finally transported out of the picking zone.

A freestanding sack holder for allowing a sack to be held and filled with sand or other packing material. The freestanding sack holder includes a hollow body that has an open top, an open bottom, and a narrowing aspect between the open top and open bottom such that the open top is wider than the open bottom. The hollow body additionally includes a pair of strap apertures that enable it to be suspended between two steps of a horizontally oriented ladder and three independently resizable telescoping legs that enable it to stand upright with the open top oriented above the open bottom. By way of the inclusion of the strap apertures and the legs, the freestanding sack holder can be used to fill a sack or other receptacle while self standing or while being suspended from a horizontally oriented straight ladder.

A bottle pouch with an integrated fitment and inner support handle piece includes a flexible pouch in the shape of a bottle including a flexible pouch body with a handle region, and a combined fitment and inner support handle piece including a rigid handle portion extending from the combined fitment and inner support handle piece. The combined fitment and inner support handle piece is coupled to the flexible pouch. The inner support handle piece extends from the inside of the fitment and is internal to the flexible pouch body and passes from the interior to the exterior of the flexible pouch body adjacent to the handle region of the flexible pouch body to form the rigid handle portion. In another form, the inner support handle piece extends from the outside periphery of the fitment and is external to the flexible pouch body, but is secured to the periphery of the flexible pouch body with one or more outer sleeves or loops.
