- the system 10 includes an initial product package 12 and a refill product package 14.
- an initial product package 12 includes an initial product package 12 and a refill product package 14.
- positional terms such as "upper,” “lower,” “side,” “top,” “bottom,” etc. refer to the container when in the orientation shown in the drawing. The skilled artisan will recognize that containers can assume different orientations when in use.
- Fig. 2 schematically illustrates the components which may be included in the initial product package 12 and the refill product package 14.
- the initial product package 12 may include a reusable container 16, an initial product bag 18, and a reusable scoop 20.

- a lid 36 is associated with the wall 32 for closing the opening 34.
- the lid 36 may be pivotally connected to the peripheral wall 32 at hinges 38.
- the lid includes a latch 31 which engages a locking shoulder 33 extending from wall 32.
- the base 30 and peripheral wall 32 may be described as forming a tub portion 35 of the container 16.
- the tub portion 35 may include a skirt 37 extending downwardly from the peripheral wall 32 below the base 30.
- the container 16 may include a sealing lip 29 extending laterally outward near the open upper end thereof for providing a sealing engagement with the lid 36 when the lid is closed. Further details of exemplary forms of this embodiment of the construction of the container 16 and particularly of the sealing engagement of the lid 36 with flexible seal 29 are set forth in detail in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/824,383, entitled Improved Container Seal, attorney docket number MJE00287NP, assigned to the assignee of the present invention and filed on even date herewith, the details of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the peripheral wall 32 has a generally oval cross- section which may also be described as an elongated cross-section having a length 40 and a width 42, with the sidewall 32 being curved across the end of the cross-section at the longitudinal end portions 44 and 46.
- the opening 34 of the reusable container 16 may be defined by a smooth molded internal wall surface 48 which is free of any internally projecting lip or rib which would interfere with insertion and removal of the product bags such as 18, 24 or 26 as is further described below.
- the lid 36 includes a scoop retention device including at least two flexible tabs 50 and 52 for resiliently holding either one of the scoops 20 or 28 in place on the underside of the lid 36.
- the container 16 including the tub portion 35 and the lid portion 36 may be constructed by injection molding the same from a plastic material.
- the initial product bag 18 is received in the container 16 and is constructed of a flexible material capable of being manipulated to decrease the volume occupied by the bag as the bag is partially or completely emptied during use.
- the bag 18 may include a pleated upper portion 54 which may be folded over in an increasing number of folds as the bag is progressively emptied.
- the bag may also be manipulated in other ways, such as rolling the top portion, or in any other suitable manner.
- the initial product bag 18 has an initial volume filled with powdered infant formula 56.
- the initial product bag 18 has an initial size and shape capable of being fully received in the container 16 so that the lid 36 can be closed.
- the initial product bag 18 when in its filled and sealed state, can be described as being generally parallelpiped in shape and having a bag bottom 58 defining a bag length 60 and a bag width 62.
- the bag bottom 58 may also be a pleated bottom portion 58 similar to the pleated top portion 54 previously described.
- the bag 18 further has an initial filled bag height 64.

- the bottom 70 may be a pleated bottom, and the bag may have a pleated foldable top portion 78 held in place by a peelable strap 80.
- the initial product bag and refill product bags may be constructed as resealable moisture proof bags.
- the initial product bag 18 is itself a resealable moisture proof bag, there is no need for a tamper proof seal across the opening 34 of the tub portion 35, and thus the tub portion 35 may be initially closed only by the lid 36 and need not be sealed by a tamper proof peel off film or the like.
- the flexible material from which the initial product bag 18 and/or the refill product bags 24 and 26 are constructed may comprise a multilayer material schematically indicated as 82 in Fig. 8.

- a tear-off strip or the like may be provided adjacent the seal to allow initial opening of the package to break the vacuum seal thereof.
- the initial filled bag height 76 of the refill product bags 24 and 26 is less than the initial filled bag height 64 of the initial product bag 18 so that the refill product bags have a filled volume which is less than the filled volume of the initial product bag.
- the initial product bag 18 and the refill product bags such as 24 and 26 may be constructed to be of substantially identical volumes.
- the refill product package 14 is shown in perspective view in Fig. 1 and in schematic elevation sectioned view in Fig. 2.

Further, the bag length 72 and bag width 74 are less than the package length 86 and package width 88, respectively. As also previously noted, each of the refill product bags 24 and 26 initially contains a refill volume equal to the bag length 72 times bag width 74 times bag height 76, which refill volume is initially filled with powdered infant formula.
- a second reusable scoop 28 there may be room within the outer package 22 on top of the uppermost refill bag 26 for a second reusable scoop 28.
- the scoop 28 is preferably sealed in a disposable sanitary enclosure 92 which may for example be a transparent flexible cellophane package or the like.
- the scoop 20 of Fig. 2 is similarly sealed in a sanitary enclosure 21.
- the initial product package 12 and refill product package 14 may include first and second identifying product indicia 94 and 96 placed thereon via labels or other suitable printing or the like.
- the first product indicia 94 identifies the brand, and nature of the product, such as powdered infant formula, contained in the initial product package 12.
