Abstract
A resuable container made of elastic material which is formed with sections of different geometry wherein when the container is opened it will self-expand to a fully extended position. However, when pressure is applied to the top of said container it will progressively collapse from the top to the bottom thereof thereby allowing reduction of volumetric dimension substantially equal to the substance contained therein for easy access to that substance. An air tight closure is tightened about the access opening while the container is held in collapsed condition whereby a partial vacuum is then created therein.
