Method for inserting one or more canisters into a flexible pouch in a predetermined orientation

A method for inserting one or more articles of manufacture into a flexible pouch having either a one-time sealable or re-sealable end portion for permitting insertion of the articles of manufacture, a collapsible and flexible floor portion on which one or more of the articles of manufacture are positioned, and a flexible side portion for enclosing the articles of manufacture and connecting the end portion to the floor portion, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing the flexible pouch with the collapsible and flexible floor portion and flexible side portion;
• wherein the side walls collapse upon normal human touching;
• (b) positioning the one or more articles of manufacture in a predetermined orientation into a position adjacent to said pouch;
• (c) attaching the one or more of articles of manufacture to a mechanical arm for providing transportation to said pouch;
• and
• (d) placing the one or more articles of manufacture through the end portion and onto the collapsible and flexible floor portion so that the floor portion forms a stable storage platform for the articles of manufacture, and the inserted articles of manufacture form a secondary reinforcing portion so that the sidewalls are urged against collapsing, with articles of manufactured inserted into the pouch, upon normal human touching by the articles of manufacture.
