Abstract
A flexible container device, comprising a container top portion having a substantially oval top footprint, a flexible container bottom having a substantially oval bottom footprint, wherein the flexible container bottom is foldable, and a flexible reservoir body in between the container top portion and the flexible container bottom. The flexible reservoir body can be coupled to the container top portion by a top perimeter seam and coupled to the flexible container bottom by a bottom perimeter seam. The flexible reservoir body can be formed by a flexible panel folded and attached to itself along one or more body seams extending along a length of the flexible reservoir body. The flexible reservoir body can be collapsible and foldable.
