Abstract
A semi-flexible storage container includes a container body formed from a single piece of semi-flexible sheet material. Flexibly attached to the container body by a flexible attachment mechanism are first and second end pieces, which when assembled together form an enclosed container. The preferred flexible attachment mechanism is a zipper mechanism, however equivalent mechanisms, such as hook and loop fasteners and the like are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention. The semi-flexible storage container is selectively openable, sealable, and resealable, as will be described hereinafter. In addition to being self-supporting, semi-flexible storage containers are also readily foldable or collapsible to provide easy storage occupying minimal space.
