A storage system for shipping and/or storing goods in an environmentally controlled enclosure, said system including: (a) a rigid container having a first entry means for accessing the enclosed space therein; (b) enclosure means disposed in said container having second entry means for accessing and sealing the enclosed space therein and cooperating with said first entry means to permit goods to be place within said enclosure means, said enclosure means comprising a flexible gas and fluid impermeable material; (c) said enclosure means comprising holding means positioned at certain intervals along said enclosure means for connecting said enclosure means to said rigid container to permit access to the enclosed space therein; and (d) means defining a resealable port in said enclosure means whereby the latter can be inflated and evacuated. In a storage system for storing or shipping goods, having a container in which goods are held, said container having an entry door permitting access to the enclosed space therein, a method of utilizing a flexible gas and fluid impermeable enclosure means within said container to provide a controlled environment storage system, said method comprising the steps of: laying said enclosure means on the floor of said container in a folded state; unfolding said enclosure means on the floor of said container generally centering said enclosure means within said container; applying air under pressure to the interior of said enclosure means to inflate same within the interior of said container; anchoring select points on said enclosure means to fixed positions within said container; depressurizing the interior of said enclosure means by unfastening closure means along three edges of an opening in said enclosure means to form a flap in the opening of the enclosure means; folding the flap away from the opening such that the opening forms an entry way of substantially the same size as the entry way of the container; filling the interior of said enclosure means within said container with goods; closing the entry way of said enclosure means by fastening the closure means about said entry way to provide an air and moisture resistant seal for the interior of said enclosure means; evacuating air from said enclosure means to draw said enclosure means around goods held therein; and closing said container door.
