A stay 216 has a first end 230 which engages the top portion of the bag. A slot 262 is formed along the bottom side portion of the body which engages with a flexible one-piece hinge 210. The hinge comprises an insert portion 228 and a receiving potion 226 formed opposite the insert portion. A bending portion is formed between the insert portion and the receiving portion for relative orientation. The insert portion engages with the slot of the bottom side portion of the body and the receiving portion engages with a second end 232 of the stay. The insert portion may comprise at least one hole 275 configured to receive a securing member 285 for securing the insert portion to the body. The bending portion may be of reduced thickness to the insert/receiving portions and/or define one or more cut-outs.
