Abstract (en)

System for storing and transporting products, preferably food products, which comprises a first container (1), configured to hold liquids or solid granular products in an inner cavity, which comprises two portions (11 and 12). A first portion (11) with a frustoconical or pyramidal shape, which has a single opening at an apex of said first portion (11), and a second portion (12), with a tubular shape, which comprises the mouth of the first container (1), wherein the first portion (11) is configured to be folded, in a reversible manner, from the frustoconical or pyramidal shape, to a flat shape, maintaining the tightness of the first container (1). In this manner, the first container (1) can be stored or stowed in a folded shape so that it occupies a smaller space than it would occupy if it were unfolded. Furthermore, the combined pyramidal-tubular shape of the first (11) and second portion (12) enables said first container (1) to be used as a support for transferring a plurality of second containers (2).
