Abstract (en)

A flexible bag (10) for containing bulk material including granulate material such as rice, pasta, vegetables or the like, ready for use comprises a bottom foil having the outer dimensions of a pallet or stillage and defining outer edges to be positioned extending substantially parallel with the edges of the pallet or stillage, and four side wall foils connected to the outer edges of the bottom foil and extending upwardly from the bottom foil for defining a box-shaped bag in which the vertical edges of each of the side wall foils are connected to the vertical edge of the adjacent side wall foil. An inner space is defined above the bottom foil and between the side wall foils within the box-shaped bag. The bag also comprises a top foil part having a sealable closure (22), the top foil part being connected to the upper edges of the four side wall foils for closing off the box-shaped bag, the sealable closure allowing the introduction of the granulate material into the inner space before sealing the closure. The bottom foil, the four side wall foils and the top foil part are made from thin plastics foil material and together constituting a self-shape maintaining or self-supporting bag structure when filled with the bulk material. <IMAGE>
