A bag comprising a body (3) which has a lid (1, 2) on at least one of its two mutually opposing sides, wherewith the bottom edge of the lid is hinged to the bottom part of the body, wherein the lid (1, 2), which is substantially rigid, has an outwardly arched outer surface which is adapted to lie tangentially to the underlying bag supporting surface (55) at a distance from the area in which the bag (3) is supported by said surface (55) when the lid (1, 2) has been opened out. When in contact with the underlying supporting surface, the rim of the lid pitches a plane that defines with the underlying supporting surface (55) an angle that is greater than 5°. The bag includes means (12) adapted for limiting the maximal angle to which the lid can be opened relative to the body to a value at which the lid will lie tangentially to the bag supporting surface (55).

1. A bag comprising a body which is provided on at least one of its mutually opposite sides with a lid which is hingedly connected at its lower edge to the bottom part of the body, a height of said lid being greater than a width of said bottom part as measured between said mutually opposite sides, wherein the lid is substantially rigid and has an outwardly arched outer surface that is formed to lie tangential to the underlying bag supporting surface at a distance from the area in which the bag is supported by said supporting surface when said lid is open, the rim of said lid defining with said supporting surface an angle that is greater than 5° when the lid is in contact with said supporting surface, said bag including a flexible wall structure between side-edge parts of the body and respective side-edge parts of said lid so that, when in an open position, the lid will form together with said body and said flexible walls a pocket that has downwardly sloping walls and with which the lid-defined wall slopes downward and inward when the bag rests on said supporting surface, said flexible wall structure restricting the maximum angle to which the lid can be opened relative to the body, to a value at which the lid becomes tangential to the bag supporting surface when said flexible wall structure is fully extended. 2. The bag according to claim 1, wherein the flexible walls have a pleated, concertina-like structure that extends from a region of the lid hinge connection to said body and up to at least one-third of a height of the lid and the body respectively. 3. The bag according to claim 1, wherein an upper part of the body includes an opening through which a bag interior can be accessed when the lid is closed against the body. 4. The bag according to claim 3, wherein said bag includes a flap which functions to cover the opening, said flap being hinged to said bag. 5. The bag according to claim 3, wherein a free edge of the lid includes a cut-out that defines a part of the access opening. 6. The bag according to claim 1, wherein edges of the lid are connectable to the body by means of an associated zip fastener that extends from respective ends of the lid hinge connection to said body along a rim of the lid and up to an upper longitudinal midway area of an edge of the bag. 7. bag according to claim 6, wherein the zip fasteners are terminated at corresponding end edges of the opening. 8. The bag according to claim 1, wherein the body is provided with a lid on each of its two mutually opposing sides. 9. The bag according to claim 8, wherein the body includes a bottom plate, a top plate and two separate walls that interconnect the top and bottom plates, a wall extending between the bottom plate and the walls of said body up to a region of the top plate of said body, with edge parts of the body that lie proximal to the lids lying in planes that converge upwards and form a joining plane with an opening edge of the lids.
