Flexible containers with puckered corners

1. A hand-held disposable stand-up flexible container, configured for retail sale, wherein the container comprises:

a multiple dose product volume that directly contains a fluent product, wherein about all of the product volume is made from one or more films;

a structural support frame that supports the product volume, wherein the structural support frame includes a plurality of expanded structural support volumes, including a first expanded structural support volume, which:

is made from one or more films formed into a first leg of a folded gusset;

includes a portion that is substantially cylindrical with an overall lateral orientation, and a horizontal reference plane that intersects a longitudinally outermost portion of the first expanded structural support; and

includes a first end, having a first seal that is puckered, such that a first corner of the first seal is offset from the horizontal reference plane when the container is standing up.

2. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is offset from the horizontal reference plane by an offset distance of 1-10 millimeters (0.04-0.39 inches).

3. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is offset from the horizontal reference plane by an offset distance of 1-8 millimeters (0.04-0.31 inches).

4. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is offset from the horizontal reference plane by an offset distance of 2-6 millimeters (0.08-0.24 inches).

5. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is a right angle corner and an end edge of the first seal is angled away from the horizontal reference plane.

6. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is a right angle corner and an end edge of the first seal is angled away from the horizontal reference plane by an angle of 5-45 degrees.

7. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal is a right angle corner and an end edge of the first seal is angled away from the horizontal reference plane by an angle of 10-30 degrees.

8. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal protrudes from the first expanded structural support volume, by a protrusion distance of 0.0-3.0 millimeters (0-0.12 inches).

9. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first corner of the first seal protrudes from the first expanded structural support volume, by a protrusion distance of 0.5-2.0 millimeters (0-0.08 inches).

10. The container of claim 1 , wherein the first expanded structural support volume includes a second end, having a second seal that is puckered, such that a second corner of the second seal is offset from the horizontal reference plane when the container is standing up.

11. The container of claim 10 , wherein the second corner of the second seal is a right angle corner and an end edge of the second seal is angled away from the horizontal reference plane.

12. The container of claim 1 , wherein:

the first expanded structural support volume is a bottom structural support volume that contacts a horizontal support surface when the container is standing up; and

the horizontal support surface forms the horizontal reference plane.

13. The container of claim 12 , wherein the first expanded structural support volume is a front bottom structural support volume.

14. The container of claim 13 , wherein the structural support frame includes the plurality of expanded structural support volumes, which includes a second expanded structural support volume, which:

is made from one or more films formed into a second leg of the folded gusset;

is a back bottom structural support volume;

includes a portion that is substantially cylindrical with an overall lateral orientation;

includes two ends, wherein each end of the second expanded structural support volume has a seal that is puckered, such that a corner of the seal is offset from the horizontal support surface when the container is standing up.

15. The container of claim 14 , wherein each end of the second expanded structural support volume has a seal that is puckered, such that a right angle corner of the seal is angled away from the horizontal support surface.
