Container support

摘要

A container ( 10 ) having a plurality of panels ( 12-18 ) joined together to form a sleeve ( 64 ). The panels ( 12-18 ) each have an end edge that cooperate to define an imaginary plane (P) at one end of the sleeve ( 64 ). The container ( 10 ) further has an end panel ( 20,22 ) connected to the panels ( 12-18 ) at the one end of the sleeve ( 64 ). The end panel ( 20,22 ) has at least one portion extending beyond the imaginary plane (P). The supporting box ( 100 ) is provided to support the container ( 10 ). A hanger system ( 150 ) is provided and is attached to the box ( 100 ). The hanger system ( 150 ) supports an upper portion of the container ( 10 ) within the box ( 100 ). The container ( 10 ) is also provided with a port closure ( 300 ) that provides both a sterile and gas permeable barrier.
