Benefits of technology

The present disclosure describes containers made from flexible material that have several advantages over conventional rigid containers. These containers are less expensive, use less material, are easier to decorate, are less prone to damage, and can be more easily handled and dispensed with. Despite being made from flexible material, these containers have sufficient structural integrity to withstand external forces and environmental conditions and can be displayed and put into use without failure.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the limitations of conventional rigid containers for fluent products, including high costs, difficulty in decoration, susceptibility to damage, difficulty in dispensing, and limitations in user control. The patent proposes a new type of container that overcomes these limitations.

Embodiment Construction

[0095]The present disclosure describes various embodiments of containers made from flexible material. Because these containers are made from flexible material, these containers can be less expensive to make, can use less material, and can be easier to decorate, when compared with conventional rigid containers. First, these containers can be less expensive to make, because the conversion of flexible materials (from sheet form to finished goods) generally requires less energy and complexity, than formation of rigid materials (from bulk form to finished goods). Second, these containers can use less material, because they are configured with novel support structures that do not require the use of the thick solid walls used in conventional rigid containers. Third, these flexible containers can be easier to decorate, because their flexible materials can be easily printed before they are formed into containers. Fourth, these flexible containers can be less prone to scuffing, denting, and r...
