Collapsible, stackable, semi-rigid universal cotainer for hazardous and non-hazardous goods

Abstract

A universal collapsible, reusable, stackable, flexible shipping container for cargo including dry materials to slurries to fluids. This invention comprises using a flexible outer layer, foldable corner components, and flexible and foldable core section for insertion into the flexible outer layer and flexible container member for insertion into the flexible outer layer. This container utilizes components which may be used as a system either in combination or as individual elements with the flexible outer layer. These flexible components allow them to be disassembled and folded flat when they are empty, and then reassembled to form a container
