Modular containers are formed in a collapsible fashion by flexible or rigid bodies and panels. A size of a modular container may be selected by inflating the modular container to a desired pressure or volume, coupling two or more bodies of the modular containers together, or mating the bodies of the modular containers to common bases or surfaces. The modular containers may be accessed via one or more openings in vertical or horizontal surfaces of such modular containers in order to load items into such modular containers or to unload the items therefrom. The modular containers may be assembled or collapsed manually or automatically, and transported to one or more locations separately or in stacks.

A pre-packaged paint sample includes a sealed package, paint sealed within the package, and a new paint applicator sealed within the sealed package. For use, the package is shook to apply the paint to the paint applicator. The sealed package is opened, and the paint applicator is removed from the package. The paint applicator and used to apply the relatively small amount of the paint t. The pre-packaged paint sample can be useful in applications where only a small amount of paint is needed such as, for example but not limited to, paint sampling, paint touch up, and the like.

A liquid container includes a first storage level for the liquid, and a second level of pressurization for a gas. The first and second levels can be stored flat when empty. The first level and/or the second level has a first and/or a second non-return connection part, including: a first fitting body, a first base, a non-waterproof first stop to limit the movement of the first one, a first waterproof shoulder to limit the movement of the first base and to prevent fluid backflow, and a first connector configured to connect to a third connection part of a fluid injection and/or extraction system.

A mold configuration for forming a pocket in a film comprising: a film support surface; a perimeter edge at said film support surface; wall surfaces inward of the perimeter edge defining a mold cavity; the wall surfaces including transition wall surfaces extending to a bottom wall surface; and a plateau surface inward of the perimeter edge. In one form, the perimeter edge includes sharp corner profile perimeter edge portions defining at least one sharp corner profile. A method of forming a pouch, includes using the disclosed mold configuration.

A portable enclosure that is configured to be surroundably mounted at least one object to provide protection thereof wherein said portable enclosure is further configured to inhibit moisture within the interior volume thereof. The portable enclosure of the present invention includes a body wherein the body includes at least one body segment having at least one wall. The body is provided in alternate sizes and shapes and includes mateable end cap members. The wall of the body is configured with perimeter seams that are equipped with fasteners operable to provide expansion of the body segment. A pressurization chamber is operably coupled to the wall of the body and configured to provide a pressure within the interior volume of the portable enclosure that is greater than that of its surroundings. The pressurization chamber combines an airflow pattern and a water reducing member to facilitate the reduction of moisture.

The invention relates to a packaging method, a transport package, and use of the packaging method for transporting products by means of a drone. According to the invention, a product to be packaged is placed in an open inner wrapping that is pretensioned on elastic traction cables in order to hold the product approximately centrally in an outer package. After insertion, the wrapping is closed and evacuated until it lies tightly against the product, and the traction cables are thereby further tensioned.

A method that protects helium balloons, which are shipped via shipping routes that expose the balloons to elevated temperatures that cause the balloons to lose helium gas at increased rates, from such effects includes providing a shipping box; lining the shipping box with a metalized sheet that provides insulation against heat conduction; placing at least one balloon in the lined shipping box; surrounding the at least one balloon with the metalized sheet from all sides thereof; closing the box; and shipping the box to a customer, whereby the balloons are rendered less susceptible to the elevated temperatures or reduced ambient pressures while travelling over the shipping routes.
