Problems solved by technology
Both types of manufacturing are energy-intensive processes that may require complex equipment
[0008] Second, some conventional rigid containers for flowable products may require significant amounts of material
This may require a significant amount of material, which increases the cost of the container and makes its disposal difficult
[0009] Third, some conventional rigid containers for flowy products can be difficult to decorate
The size, shape (e.g. curved surface) and / or material of some rigid containers make it difficult to print directly on their outer surface
Labeling requires additional materials and handling, and limits the size and shape of decorations
Packaging provides a large decorative area, but also requires additional materials and handling, often at significant cost
[0010] Fourth, some conventional rigid containers used for flowable products may be prone to certain types of damage
If a rigid container is pressed against a hard object, the container can become dented, which can make it look unsightly
And if the rigid container is dropped, the container may break, which can cause loss of its flowable product
[0011] Fifth, some runny products in conventional rigid containers can be difficult to dispense
Other users may need to apply so much hand force that they cannot easily control the degree to which the container is deformed; these users may dispense more runny product than they desire

Embodiment Construction
[0079] This disclosure describes various embodiments of containers made from flexible materials. Because these containers are made of flexible materials, these containers can be less expensive to manufacture, can use less material and can be easier to decorate when compared to conventional rigid containers. First, these containers can be less expensive to manufacture because the transformation of flexible materials (from sheet form to finished product) generally requires less energy and complexity than the formation of rigid materials (from block form to finished product). Second, these containers can use less material because they are constructed with a novel support structure that does not require the use of thick core walls used in conventional rigid containers. Third, these flexible containers can be more easily decorated because the flexible material can be easily printed on before it is formed into a container. Fourth, these flexible containers are less prone to wear, d...

Abstract
A disposable flexible container (100) for a fluent product comprises a product volume (150) at least partially defined by a nonstructural panel (180-1). A structural support volume is arranged to generate and maintain tension in the nonstructural panel (180-1) when the structural support volume is expanded. Additionally, the disposable flexible container (100) includes a dispenser (160) for dispensing the fluent product from the product volume (150).
Description
technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to containers, and more particularly to flexible and disposable containers. Background technique [0002] Flowable products include liquid products and / or pourable solid products. In various embodiments, a container can be used to receive, contain and dispense one or more fluent products. And in various embodiments, the container can be used to receive, hold and / or dispense individual articles or separately packaged portions of a product. A container may contain one or more product volumes. The product volume is configured to be filled with one or more fluent products. When filling the product volume of the container, the container receives the fluent product. Once filled to the desired volume, the container can be configured to hold the fluent product in its product volume until the fluent product is dispensed. The container holds the fluent product by providing a barrier around the fluent product. This b...
