Patent number: 8910834Abstract: A flexible container for containing a product includes a dispensing portion, a panel forming a first compartment for containing the product and forming a second compartment that is separate from the first compartment, and an elongated grip disposed at least in part in the second compartment. A user may grasp the grip to transport the container or to pour a product from the first compartment. The grip may also prevent the container from collapsing, allowing the container to be efficiently stored on a surface and providing a surface on the flexible container to prominently display information regarding the product. The dispensing portion may be a metered cap.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Method Products, PBCInventors: Rudiger Becker, Francis J. Handy
