Soft-sided bulk material containers with hold-ins

A method of packaging bulk material, the method comprising:

• placing a first quantity of bulk material in a soft-sided container, the soft-sided container including a plurality of sides connected together to form a substantially round soft-sided container, the plurality of sides coupled to a substantially round bottom, each one of the plurality of sides having a corresponding height extending from the bottom toward a top opening of the soft-sided container;
• extending at least one hold-in across the soft-sided container from a first portion of the plurality of sides of the container inward toward a substantially central location in the soft-sided container, wherein the at least one hold-in having a first end, a second end and a hold-in width and wherein the first end is secured to the first portion of the plurality of sides and the second end is not secured to the plurality of sides, wherein the hold-in width is less than a length of the first one of the plurality of sides;
• and
• placing a second quantity of bulk material in the soft-sided container, wherein the second quantity of bulk material is placed on top of the second end of the at least one hold-in, wherein the second end is secured by a weight of the second quantity of bulk material placed on top of the second end.
