A freezer bag block maker includes two container portions that are removably attachable to form a container. The two container portions are attached along an interface which divides the container into two equal portions along a short side of the container. One or more fasteners such as elastomeric bands join the container portions together such as by surrounding the container portions. A plastic bag is insertable into an interior space defined by the container to retain a food item within the bag in a desired shape as the food item freezes. The bag and frozen items may then be removed from the bag, having the desired frozen shape.

Equipment transport bag assemblies (20, 92, 98, 145, 152, 182) each including an upright, open-top, equipment-receiving bag (22, 110, 158) with associated equipment-handling assemblies (24, 92, 102, 164, 184). The assemblies (24, 92, 102, 164, 184) have load-bearing strap units (34, 114, 166, 186) operably associated with the transport bags (22, 110, 158) so that the strap units (34, 114, 166, 186) bear the primary loads during lifting and handling of the bag assemblies (20, 92, 98, 145, 152, 182).

Provided are a cylindrical container inner bag and a composite container using the cylindrical container inner bag for the purpose of easily filling the cylindrical container inner bag housed in a cylindrical container with a filler to the substantially same capacity as that of the cylindrical container. The cylindrical container inner bag formed in such a manner that one or more films folded back or overlapping with each other are closed at least at a right or left end portion or a lower portion has a filler housing portion and a support mechanism portion positioned below the filler housing portion. The support mechanism portion has a support mechanism configured to regulate the position of the bottom of the inner bag in a cylindrical container.

The present invention is directed to new and improved industrial containment bags, wherein the improvement comprises integrating a non-perforated liner as a part of the bag, and wherein the integration is accomplished by a direct attachment means (e.g., by a sewing process). In certain embodiments of this invention, the improved containment bags have a top opening. In other embodiments of this invention, the improved containment bags have an end or sidewall opening. The present invention is also directed to methods of manufacturing, using, filling, lifting, transporting, storing, and/or disposing of such new and improved industrial containment bags
