Abstract
A reusable system for shipping objects is disclosed. The system includes a container and an inflatable and/or deflatable bladder. The inflatable and/or deflatable bladder is configured to be inserted and/or removed from a cavity defined by an outer shell and inner lining of the container. The inflatable and/or deflatable bladder is configured to inflate to protect objects inside the container, and also to deflate to move the system to a substantially compact configuration.

A reusable inflatable container system, comprising:
- a container including an inner lining and an outer shell, wherein the outer shell envelops the inner lining, the inner lining and the outer shell create a space there between defining a cavity;
- and
- an inflatable and deflatable bladder, comprising:
- one or more inflatable and deflatable chambers;
- and
- one or more fluid fill and release ports, wherein the one or more inflatable and deflatable chambers can be filled and emptied from the one or more fluid fill and release ports,
- wherein the inflatable and deflatable bladder is configured to be both insertable and removable from the cavity defined by the inner lining and the outer shell.

A reusable inflatable container system, comprising:
- a container including an inner lining and an outer shell, wherein the outer shell envelops the inner lining, the inner lining and the outer shell create a space there between defining a cavity, wherein the inner lining and outer shell are comprised of a flexible material and configured to collapse when the system is not in use;
- and
- a first inflatable and deflatable bladder, comprising:
- one or more inflatable and deflatable chambers;
- and
- one or more fluid fill and release ports, wherein the one or more inflatable and deflatable chambers can be filled and emptied from the one or more fluid fill and release ports,
- wherein the first inflatable and deflatable bladder is configured to be both insertable and removable from the cavity defined by the inner lining and the outer shell,
