A container having a thin film flexible container body includes upper and lower portions defining a predetermined longitudinal extent of the container so as to establish an interior region adapted to hold selected contents.

Preferably, the upper and lower portions of the container body are rigid (i.e., self-supporting) and are unitarily formed with the thin film flexible container body together with the annular rigid bands thereof.
