FLEXIBLE CONTAINER
A container for holding and delivering liquids is disclosed. A method of making the same is disclosed. The container can have a molded container top, a molded container bottom, a flexible film reservoir, and a handle extending from the container top to the container bottom. The reservoir can be laterally exposed around the entire circumference of the reservoir along a part of the longitudinal length of the reservoir. A thermally insulated reservoir system is disclosed. The reservoir system can have a bag having a multi-layered bag wall. The bag wall can have a first layer sealed to a second layer. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can be partially or completely filled with a fluid insulator, such as air or saline solution. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can also or alternately be partially or completely filled with a solid insulator, such as a matted fiber layer.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first layer comprises a first layer first lateral edge, a first layer second lateral edge, and a first layer third lateral edge, and a first layer fourth lateral edge, wherein the second layer comprises a second layer first, lateral edge sealed to the first layer first lateral edge, a second layer second lateral edge sealed to the first layer second lateral edge, a second layer third lateral edge sealed to the first layer third lateral edge, and a second layer fourth lateral edge sealed to the first layer fourth lateral edge.
3 . A liquid reservoir system comprising:
a bag forming a reservoir, wherein the bag comprises a bag wall, and wherein the bag wall comprises a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are separated by a gap, wherein the first layer and the second layer surround the reservoir.
4 . The system of claim 3 , further comprising; a third layer, and wherein the third layer is between the first layer and the second layer.
5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer comprises a first material, and wherein the second layer comprises the first material and/or a second material, and wherein the third layer comprises an third material, and wherein the third material is different than the first material and the second material.
6 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer comprises a first material, and wherein the second layer comprises the first material and/or a second material, and wherein the third material comprises a third material, and wherein the third material has a lower density than the first material and the second material.
7 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer has a first layer thickness, and wherein the second layer has a second layer thickness, and wherein the third layer has a third layer thickness, and wherein the third layer thickness is larger than the first layer thickness and the second layer thickness.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the first layer thickness is equal to the second layer thickness.
9 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer is attached to the second layer.
10 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer is embossed to the second layer.
11 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer is attached to the third layer.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the first layer is embossed to the third layer.
13 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer is attached to the second layer and the third layer.
14 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the first layer is embossed to second layer and the third layer.
15 . The system of claim 3 , further comprising a nozzle in fluid communication with a volume between the first layer and the second layer.
16 . The system of claim 3 , further comprising a nozzle in fluid communication with the reservoir.
17 . The system of claim 3 , further comprising a detachable sealing member.
18 . A method of constructing as liquid reservoir system comprising:
forming a bag wall comprising embossing a first layer to a second layer, wherein the bag wall has a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a first bottom edge, and a second bottom edge;
folding the bag wall at a fold line, whet in the fold line is laterally between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge; and
sealing the first lateral edge to the second lateral edge.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein at least a length of the fold line is parallel to the first lateral edge, and wherein the fold line is at a lateral middle of the bag wall when the bag wall is in a flattened configuration before folding the bag wall.
20 . The method of claim 18 , wherein forming the bag wall further comprising embossing the first layer to a third layer wherein the third layer is between the first layer and the second layer.
