Abstract (en)

The frame structure of the container system includes a pallet base 12, a plurality of uprights 14 and a spreader frame 16. The uprights 14 are located within sockets 18 formed in the pallet base 12 and pins 20 of the spreader frame 16 are located in the upper open ends of the uprights 14. A sheet material container constituted by a low density polyethylene (LDPE) tube is located within the erected frame structure and filled with the intended contents. The uprights 14 tend to retain the LDPE tube 10 against its natural tendency to bulge outwardly in particular points of restraint. After filling, the entire container and frame structure is stretch wrapped with a limited stretch film wrapping. The container 10 can be sealed after filling and partially evacuated by means of a vacuum probe or the like. Due to its palletised base 12, the container system can be handled in accordance with palletised loading techniques. <IMAGE>
