Abstract
A container is provided for housing a fluid comprising a pair of flexible plastic walls, one of the plastic walls defining a front face and one of the plastic walls defining a back face. The plastic walls are secured together around a periphery thereof by a peripheral seal thereby defining an interior. An access member is located at an end of the container for allowing one to access a fluid contained within the interior. A fill port is located on a front face for allowing access to the interior of the container so that the interior can receive a fluid. The back and front face are sealed along a seal line located within the interior of the container in juxtaposition to the fill port. In an embodiment, the peripheral seal has a substantially .OMEGA. shape. A method for filling a container with fluid is also provided.
