Articulating biocontainers

A biocontainer, comprising:

• a first film, the first film having an interior and exterior side;
• articulating elements disposed on or within the first film, the articulating elements comprising a bowed path where a thickness of the first film remains unchanged across the bowed path or increase in proximity of the bowed path;
• and
• a second film, optionally comprising articulating elements, joined to the first film to form the biocontainer having at least two walls and an inner volume defined by the at least two walls;
• wherein the articulating elements permit the biocontainer to expand and collapse along the articulating elements,
• wherein the first film is formed of one or more layers forming an inner contact zone, one or more layers of a gas impermeable zone, and one or more layers of polymers on an exterior side of the gas impermeable zone forming an outer strength zone,
• wherein a substrate is incorporated into the first film between the inner contact zone and the gas impermeable zone, and the substrate is formed of a fibrous material, and
• wherein the articulating elements are a double-jointed articulation that produces joints having flexibility in two directions, wherein combining the double-jointed articulation with patterns allow for folding in one direction and locking upon deployment in an opposite direction.
